Awake Goy weilunion says:
James, it is not that you failed in the episodes, it is the fact there is no dialogue about the issues you bring up, which of course is not your fault.
Without dialogue there is no communication and without communication there is no real learning.
Many people saw this series as mere entertainment and this is lamentable.
Most of the deconstruction in the series revolved around fallacies and trickeries of the mind and thus served as a great way to use inductive logic, a specific situation, to shed light on an abstract idea: fallacies and trickeries in general. It was media literacy.
But all these ideas, such as how to avoid the uncritical appeals to the mind, fallacies, etc., need an environment of critical and civil discourse and dialogue, not simply posts, to really trace them out, question them and examine them critically.
You are one person and this is not your format. Understood.
But the site will be missed.
However, people need more and more opportunities to think question and think critically about all ideas presented on the site.
Paralysis by analysis is really not the problem facing most people, James, it’s not knowing how to critically analyze that is the real problem Once critical analysis is learned then the tricks that are used over and over by the propagandists can be seen and we can move on.
With digitalization we are witnessing the death of dialogue and literacy.
Everything in our environment now is mediated by machines. The human element is rapidly disappearing.
Yet propaganda gains strength. Without understanding the fallacious methods the sophists use we are condemned to fall victim to them.
