On today's media and the conditioning of our minds. Comments. Julio H ------------
So I am reading Troksky's History of the Russian Revolution, and beyond being stunning history, it is noteworthy that every faction had a newspaper and their newspapers printed the speeches of their political meetings. Trotsky uses these materials to follow the course of events, along with his own personal knowledge of events from the `inside' and as much archival materials as he can find. Of course media creats our minds, since the media amounts to our eyes and ears of the outside world. All I really know on my own is the backyard, my books, and a few friends. The rest is media.. You and others on the list are better connected than me, so I certainly use your insights, depend on them, trust them. Trust but verify and the verifications are nearly always supportive. Yes, I have certainly gone off with too much internet..who wouldn't in the breathless events in Egypt.
