Speaker 1 (0s): All right. I am hopeful where for all of you, a full week of sunshine who was serious of openings and start a full go up, the darkness can be punctuated with the beams of life. Wow. 

Speaker 0 (34s): Well, you made it to the end of the week. No, what? I think, I think you deserve something special, something real. Nice. Thank you very much. So whatever it is, I want you to go get it for yourself. It's just go ahead. Just do it. If you feel like you deserve it, go ahead and get him, just do it. And if you feel like picking up something nice for me, Hey who am I to argue with you and your judgment and your ideas about rewarding MI for, you know, he is awesome podcast. 

So who am I in to get in the way of that? I will know this. I love you are happier here. Happy. It's Friday I'm looking forward to a good weekend. I'm looking forward to reading some more of you guys' comments. I'm looking forward to reading some more of your ladies comments. I'm just thankful to be here. I wish I could give you a hug. Is that weird? So what are you thinking so far about mr. 

Marshall McLuhan? I don't know about you, but I need a shovel because I'm digging it, but a bumper I'm loving it. It does that make me think of McDonald's. So this is getting this right back to where we started these little idiosyncrasies, these little, but I'm pumped, but I remember this one. What was the one, but I dunno by a million number on that show is Seinfeld. 

He was like, because stanza, so you can piggyback these little audio oddities and you can piggyback these little means that are already out there. And just their, like a little virus that you put your own DNA into. Then you can use that successful virus to penetrate the minds of the people around you, get them to think things, get them to do things. And that's ex that's quite a bit about what we've been talking about with some of Marshall McLuhan's ideas. 

In fact, that's part of the reason why we are in Marshall McLuhan's eyes devolving into a more archaic society. It's fascinating 

Speaker 2 (3m 0s): To me cause we've covered Terence McKenna. We've covered Joseph Campbell and now we're covering Marshall McLuhan. And there was this 

Speaker 3 (3m 11s): Odd thread, 

Speaker 2 (3m 16s): This Ariadne thread to help us through the maze. If you know 

Speaker 3 (3m 19s): It will 

Speaker 2 (3m 22s): Do you know what? I think it was Terence McKenna who talked about an archaic revival about returning to some parts of the archaic returning ourselves to some systems have thought that may lead us out of this bind. And of course it was Joseph Campbell who spoke to us about the power of myth. 

And here we have Marshall McLuhan forecasting, right. It kind of what turns McKinnon was talking about. 

Speaker 3 (4m 3s): All right. 

Speaker 2 (4m 6s): It's interesting to me too. Think about why Marshall McLuhan thought this and how he was able to predict this so long ago, and then being able to see 

Speaker 3 (4m 19s): How so 

Speaker 2 (4m 21s): Some of the social media companies and the internet companies there. I think there's a new documentary out on Netflix that talks about how social media is in fact changing our behavior. I forgot the name of it. However, it's pretty widespread right now. And is it talks a lot about what Marshall McLuhan was talking about now. So what do you say 

Speaker 3 (4m 50s): We
