Incidentally, McLuhan was a genius, and saw much of what we're experiencing now coming decades ago. I know...we all claim to understand him and cite clichés like 'the medium is the message' (usually without understanding), but he's worth reading. FB makes much more sense after.

@Logo_Daedalus is, for my money, the reigning McLuhan expert around here, but if you ever want to cite Eric Voegelin for something I'll be happy to come correct you. -
I used to be a bit dismissive of McLuhan, given how impenetrable (or just rambling) his work seemed to be. But in light of our current reality, and actually making an effort to get through the entirety of 'Understanding Media', I can see the genius.

Equally funny, in “Back to School” when Dangerfield’s character tells off Kurt Vonnegut, who plays himself.

I won’t give anything else away, in case yet haven’t seen it, because it’s a funny twist.
