One of the most vital practices that need cultivating in the new media environment is increasingly refined B.S. detecting. We should hone this skill first on ourselves.
Are reading and writing beyond criticism? We are culturally indoctrinated to be filled with the anxieties made possible only by the written word (some academics types can even develop a stockholm syndrome with these anxieties)... So what is the narrative? You're sub human if you don't champion the written and spoken word? The new media will rot your teeth.
And where does it end? Are non Western cuttures sub human ones? Can a member of the Piraha ever give a Englishman advice?
Take a look at the YT "superstar" leader lineup. Psychotics, obsessives, basket cases, frightened young men, creepy old ones, sexual deviants, needy young-and-not-so-young women, "bizarro" feminists in reverse....
@lmcdowall I don't even know my own phone number, in fact I only have a phone because I could not get this connection without one.
I LIKE his suggestion that memorising a thing can be learned as a craft and I do not doubt that he is write, though I AM removing "memories" as they tend to create associations that are problematic when understanding NOW, the most important TIME.
is there anyone not working for the money god? and SO "advice" is tainted by SELF interest in that, surely.
@goodtimeglory An understandable assumption of sheep.

The Arts remain immune, particularly sculpture.
Master remains master, there is no substitute for experience.
Much of the work demands collective effort,
but the burns and lacerations are individual.
