    Anyone working with Peter’s work I suggest adding in Marshall McLuhan, Neil Postman, Joseph Campbell and non-reality of all world religions as media platforms. Neil Postman’s 1985 book “Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business” is foundation of how the world changed with television news and further with the mid-2007 Apple iPhone screen format with meme entertainment framing of all information. Our crisis runs all the way back to the “Tower of Babel” metaphor call-out in the Levant.
