Delayed Information

Today, I am returning to one of my perennial topics — literacy (and also my newfangled term: publicacy — see also “What is Publicacy + Why does it Matter?“). I was reminded of these issues yet again (and indeed, several times) this week. The most prominent reminder was undoubtedly this quote (by Joe Rogan): As… Continue reading Delayed Information

Crickets …

I have to admit that I am a little disappointed with the complete lack of any response from Mrs, Müller (see “Technology + Culture + Ethics + Education in Deutschland (Interview with Silke Müller)” [ https://europe.politics.blog/2024/10/20/technology-culture-ethics-education-in-deutschland-interview-with-silke-muller ] ).

It made sense to a few, but a few people do not make… Continue reading Literacy + Publicacy, School + Society

Yesterday we engaged in such a bout… Continue reading About: Technological Limitations of the Publishing Model as an Information and Communications Technology

Who is Free to Choose?

I distinctly remember my father telling me to watch TV once — or rather: strongly recommending me to sit down and watch it together with him (and whoever else in the family happened to be around). It was a very special event: PBS was doing a series with Milton Friedman, called “Free to Choose“. We… Continue reading Who is Free to Choose?
