Does the Internet Centralise or De-Centralise?
Lower World Diaries continue reflecting on the state of modern media and the insights provided by Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to death.
The internet put legacy media like the BBC - and even figures like the Royal Family - on an even footing with average citizens. This shifted power to Google and Youtube.
Will this have de-centralising effects? Marshall McLuhan and Neil Postman teach us that the underlying structure of a form of technology is key in determining the content created and ultimately the influence the technology has on society.
With this in mind, should we expect the internet to have a drastically different impact to the TV. The TV is a broadcast medium which enables few to communicate to many. The internet on the other hand is a networking technology that connects many to many.
The inherent triviality of the current media age has also facilitated mockery of the regime, as evidenced by the power of memes.

Vanessa Gray and I discuss the paucity of sensible and fearless voices in UK media. Very few journalists are questioning the US election results or encouraging skepticism around lockdowns and vaccinations. Why?
About my guest:
Vanessa Gray worked in the City for 20 years before joining the charity sector.
More recently, she helped grow the Brexit Party as assistant to the chairman, and currently campaigns for disabled people’s rights.

When the Fed printed trillions of dollars in 2019-20, a significant amount of the money went directly into private hands to be spent in the stock market. They denied this, saying it's not possible.
John Titus explains how they did it by sleight-of-hand.
