“Who are the invaders? They are more strange than we imagine. Ideas. Descriptions. Arguments. Categorical ideals presented dogmatically as if they are authorized to pervade over all of identity, reality and relation. Declarations. Styles of mind that, machine-like, emerge from the economic and cultural fascination with objects of value and, particularly, devices. Machines. Computers. ‘The Internet’.

Radio brought us together. Television, however, created the capacity to more directly compromise and manipulate our social infrastructure, and, unfortunately, the most competitive forces were, as usual, the most aggressive, predatory, and parasitic. The imperatives that have historically and, at present, dominate and shape the media we are exposed to are not only unfriendly to our humanity, communality and intelligence… they actively prohibit, counterfeit and assault it.”
