“Americans no longer talk to each other, they entertain each other. They do not exchange ideas, they exchange images. They do not argue with propositions; they argue with good looks, celebrities and commercials.” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, 1985
Elaborate and explain? i dd not exchange a meme image, I did not meme-speak in Lemmy style. You honestly sound like you don't understand Neil Postman at all and have not studied his work.

"You know what is easy to do on a smartphone or tablet? Little pot-shot negging insult comments to serious and important ideas. Twitter-length reactions and meme-thinking conditioned responses to difficult and complex problems." - Stephen Gutknecht
You ad hominemed someone as a flat stereotype. An unthinking social media moron without an original thought.
Which is a form of you claim to be against. Not exchanging ideas. You simply slung an insult without substance.
I love all people, so if I were to communicate the way you just did, I would consider it a mistake or malfunction of my brain. I think you are having serious distortion from the elecric media enviornment of computers and Lemmy and reading into things that are not there. I believe you are reaction commenting and ract-thinking and do not understand Neil Postman's 1985 book.
What was the insult? I was describing what I saw in terms of media ecology. Inclusive of how Lemmy alters communications, what is popular on Lemmy as a media environment, and what is gong on in USA society mass mind / Hive Mind / mass man in April 2025 vs. say April 2012.
I in no way take language and communications to be clear, simple, trivial, easily comprehended and I state this frequently, practically daily. [email protected]
I've been posting massive amounts of text and ideas, I didn't "simply sling an insult" as you describe. You seem to have a very very narrow interpretation of what is gong on in this Lemmy community named "Diary of Anne Frank".

“Any understanding of social and cultural change is impossible without a knowledge of the way media work as environments.” - “The Medium is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects” by media analyst Marshall McLuhan and graphic designer Quentin Fiore, and coordinated by Jerome Agel. It was published in March 1967
"you didn't respond really, you just knee jerked like an idiot" is always an insult. can't really weasel out of that.
Yes, calling people "idiot" like that is an insult. And you are dishonest and fabricated a quote that is not true.

March 11, 2016: Bill Moyers writes: Robert Reich’s essay, “Trump The American Fascist,” reminded me that back in November Reich had posted as his “Quote of the Week” an excerpt from an April 9, 1944, speech by then Vice-President Henry Wallace. Let it sink in: “The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity… They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection.”
I think it's a pretty honest interpretation of what you said. Just a lot less pretension.
All your replies have been classic Kremlin media techniques of negging and insulting and mocking to move the topic away from New York / Manhattan Professor Neil Postman's topics, Cambridge Analtyica topic, etc.
From the perspective of someone who adores mockery and mocking, you probably react that any attempt to move society away from April 23, 2025 behaviors in USA is pretense. It's also a thought-terminating cliché phrase to "win debate" on Twitter-thinking social media environments in 2024 and 2025.
Russia already won, as I have clearly stated in public thousands of times. Surkov won, Russia won the Hybrid Warfare. Most people are reveling in the anti-intellectualism and Donald Trumpism / Ellon Musk Twitter thinking going on. Hybrid War Lost; [email protected]
Lol you think I follow your public persona? I didn't really read this as I lose patience with extreme narcissists
More mockery, mocking, following the Kremlin and White House total mockery of goodness, sincerity, honesty, compassion, empathy, facts and evidence... the Kremlin and White House get social media consumers and Fox News HDTV / Newsmax HDTV consumers to LOL LOL LOL LMAO at anything serious, progressive, and earnest.
You clearly can't engage topics of "Cambridge Analtyica" executive function manipulation. You have shifted the topic to me, Stephen Alfred Gutknecht, and away from Cambridge Analytica / Putin year 2012 and year 2013 seeding of the World Wide Web with 5,000 alternate reality screen games
All you have done is come here to make a mockery of serious discussion about Russia. Not a singe time in the numerous replies did you discuss the off-Lemmy article on Washington Monthly about Russia (off-Lemmy postings on Facebook), and just did everything you can to entertain the Lemmy audience with April 2024 style of Twitter-thinking Tweet-behaviors of Donald Trumpism. You clearly have a target fixation on Lemmy messages right here, not on the topic that was being discussed from year 2013 and 2012.

Часть вторая.
В чем заключалась наша идея с Дональдом Трампом?
За четыре года и два дня.. необходимо было пробраться ко всем в мозг и захватить все возможные средства массового восприятия действительности. Обеспечить победу Дональда на выборах президента США. После чего создать политический союз между Соединенными Штатами, Францией, Россией (и ещё рядом других государств) и установить новый мировой порядок.
Четыре года и два дня - это с одной стороны очень большой срок, а с другой очень маленький. Наша идея была безумна, но реализуема.
Для того, чтобы в этом во всем разобраться для начала нужно было "оцифровать" все возможные виды современного человека.
Дональд решил пригласить для этой задачи - специальный научный отдел "Кембриджского университета". Британские учёные из Cambridge Analytica предложили сделать из 5 тысяч существующих человеческих психотипов - "идеальный образ" возможного сторонника Трампа. Затем.. положить этот образ обратно на всё психотипы и таким образом подобрать универсальный ключик к любому и каждому.
Разработка в итоге обошлась Дональду Фредовичу в 5 миллионов долларов. Но! Он получил в свои руки - секретное супер-оружие.
Кто занимался таргетированной рекламой.. поймёт, что это значит.
Помните, сколько всего денег потратили фонды Клинтон и "их сторонники" на кампанию по всему миру? В 5 раз больше, чем Трамп.
Зато, кто вложил в сетевое продвижение в 5 раз больше Хиллари и стал президентом? Тоже Дональд Трамп. Дальше оставалось только загрузить эти данные в информационные потоки и социальные сети. И мы стали искать тех, кто справился бы с этой задачей лучше других.
В самом начале смельчаков и романтиков было не очень много. Пара хакерских группировок, гражданские журналисты из Викиликс и политический стратег Михаил Ковалев. Следующим шагом необходимо было разработать систему передачи задач и информации, чтобы никакая гэбуха и АНБ не смогли её спалить.
Как сделать так, чтобы даже люди не говорящие на языке друг друга, могли бы обмениваться информацией быстрее всех, понимать друг друга с полуслова, чувствовать тренды и влиять на их развитие?
На программирование такой системы ушёл примерно год. Ещё год ушёл на тесты и доработку. В итоге. За год с небольшим, мы установили "Медиафильтр" всем, кого успели подтянуть в наш заговор и 18 августа 2015 года открыли портал Трамп-2016.
19 августа. В 9:00 мне в DM пришло сообщение от Владимира Вольфовича.
