There is the possibility that his definition of "truth" is not the standard accepted English definition, in which case he insults the language. Either way, his puke of discourse on the subject of the evolution of human communication is entirely dismissible, and should not-in any way-be regarded as insightful.

I'm baffled that many of these scholars are not referencing McLuhan. I'd suggest people take a look at "Understanding Media," "The Gutenberg Galaxy" and "The Medium is the Massage." Although McLuhan did not have knowledge of the Internet he certainly perceived its coming. His entire thesis emphasized that our electrically configured "Global Village" returns us to oral patterns of communication characteristic of a pre-Gutenberg era.
