the dominance of linear thought

by A.

Holy fucking shit.

For some reason, being in a relationship makes me want to better myself, and I’ve been reading up a storm this weekend. I’ve been reading Understanding Media by Marshall McLuhan, and now I’m about halfway through.

It is the most mind blowing book I’ve ever read. The last chapter on numbers and mathematics made me realize that every single bit of mathematics… everything we know is based on a linear version of the world imposed on us by print technology. McLuhan is a fucking genius.

Anyway, I must get back to my reading.
