It is my assertion that the general public, social media users, are enabling and furthering hybrid warfare out of ignorance. Subject: Topics: Phrases others have used to describe the concern of humanity:
Scattered, Fragmented, Brain Damage aboundsScattered mindsets. Fragmented thinking. Brain damage abounds. I personally have "hyper empathy" and the hybrid warfare since year 2013 has caused me extreme distress. "Hyper-empathy refers to a person having heightened empathy. Reasons and experiences of hyper-empathy vary. Some autistic people have reported experiencing hyper-empathy. In psychopathology, hyper-empathy is viewed as a symptom of a neurological disorder." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-empathy "The unformulated message of an assembly of news items from every quarter of the globe is that the world today is one city. All war is civil war. All suffering is our own." - University of Toronto's Marshall McLuhan. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Marshall_McLuhan "What is happening here is that television is altering the meaning of 'being informed' by creating a species of information that might properly be called disinformation. I am using this world almost in the precise sense in which it is used by spies in the CIA or KGB. Disinformation does not mean false information. It means misleading information — misplaced, irrelevant, fragmented or superficial information — information that creates the illusion of knowing something but which in fact leads one away from knowing. In saying this, I do not mean to imply that television news deliberately aims to deprive Americans of a coherent, contextual understanding of their world. I mean to say that when news is packaged as entertainment, that is the inevitable result. And in saying that the television news show entertains but does not inform, I am saying something far more serious than that we are being deprived of authentic information. I am saying we are losing our sense of what it means to be well informed. Ignorance is always correctable. But what shall we do if we take ignorance to be knowledge?” - New York University's Neil Postman. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Neil_Postman ... Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business. Year 1985. Page 107.
My Message Assertion, PayloadFrom Stephen Alfred Gutknecht This is my assertion. This is my payload of my message. The reason I am contacting you today. 2026-02-23 In regard to the general public, what Marshall McLuhan called "being mass man", there is an alarming pattern of avoidance of serious nonfiction topics. (reference McLuhan year 1977 https://www.organism.earth/library/document/mcluhan-mcmanus ) Please excuse the following use of YouTube links, but I believe the time-frame of the first public reading of a highly relevant book is essential focus for everyone world wide.
Thank you for your time and attention. |
