Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae “In a culture like ours, long accustomed to splitting and dividing all things as a means of control, it is sometimes a bit of a shock to be reminded that, in operational and practical fact, the medium is the message. This is merely to say that the personal and social consequences of any medium-- that is, of any extension of ourselves -- result from the new scale that is introduced into our affairs by each […]

Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae “Consequences. Change. He’s talking about effects. My dad once put it so simply and well: what made McLuhan’s theory of communication stand apart from the others was that McLuhan’s theories are based on transformation (the effects of technology on people and societies), and the conventional approach dealt with transportation (how information moves here and there, as typified in the Shannon-Weaver communication model)." - Andrew McLuhan - grandson of Marshall McLuhan Listen To Yesterday's Mike Church […]
Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae “After three thousand years of explosion, by means of fragmentary and mechanical technologies, the Western world is imploding. During the mechanical ages we had extended our bodies in space. Today, after more than a century of electric technology, we have extended our central nervous system itself in a global embrace, abolishing both space and time as far as our planet is concerned. Rapidly, we approach […]
Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae “We’ve observed enough cancelations to know that much depends on how the cancelée responds. You can capitulate with a groveling apology and wait for the swarm to move on, but it’s never the same after that. Not to mention, you’ve given the mob exactly what it wants,” Reno noted. “Or, you can stand firm, recognizing that the mob’s power is wholly connected to its ability […]
Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae "The fact is now well known and associated with these changes, that the western world has entered a period of demoralization comparable to the periods when both Greece and Rome turned from growth to decay. Divorce, premarital sex experience, sex promiscuity, homosexuality, versatility in sex, birth control carried to excess, spread of birth control to every segment of the population, positive antagonisn to parenthood, clandestine marriage, migratory divorce, marriage for sex alone, contempt for familism, […]
Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae "The diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) bureaucracy is the nemesis of the Enlightenment ideal of knowledge. It puts relentless pressure on every academic department to hire on the basis of race and sex, not on the basis of intellectual achievement. Every faculty search today is a desperate effort to find even remotely qualified minority or female candidates. Being female or a non-Asian minority confers an enormous advantage in the hiring and tenure process." - Heather […]
Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae "We Christians have certainly shown ourselves to be intolerant on the matter of nonbinary sex for a very long time. Right from the beginning, in fact, we’ve drawn draconian lines. Haven’t we alienated enough people already? Why do we persist in wanting to punish people because they choose to love differently than we do? If someone chooses not to identify with the sex they were given before they were born, is it our place to […]
