Bob your phsycho babble has some merit - but mostly filled with false idealogies and promises that cant be kept - why ?
YOU QUOTE
"Only the social organism, united and recognizing the challenge, can move to meet it."
a) There is no social organism united other than what deceitful intentions you find on CNN and FOX 11 news which is owned and operated by a handful of CON men - B) most, if not all growth, new ideas, inspiration, cognitive leaps are made by individuals embracing their power - NOT CHURCHES, GOVERNMENTS, SCHOOLS, CONFINED INDUSTRIES, CULTS, MONOPOLIES, OGALOPOLIES; HENCE, there is no unification of social norms - unless you live in a militant Mormon ah or is that Muslim freak house with all social, media, clothing, behavior, monitored as to PROTECT the fold ! In addition, you see Marshall admitting to pulling his head out of his Churches ass, and this is why China will not allow google on their playground, and everything we do and say is monitored from spy satellites and AI micro chips (but no one gives a rats ass).
This is where we are now - the lifting of the veil - the shit is gonna hit the fan Charlie ! and it smells good

thats the beauty of it - by the way I love the smell of horse shit on a cool Sunday morning - (I really do)
here is your post of his quote again - this says it all
"but to do this we must first recognize the kind of therapy that's needed for the effects of the new media. In such an effort, indignation against those who perceive the nature of those effects is no substitute for awareness and insight."isn't this the exact freaking thing humanity has had to deal with for centuries - INDIGNATION to those perceived less than or more than ?
its implied with the maturing process - through adolesence -that all the innocent young adults will comply, conform, and obey the social norms from yesterday- hence barmitzvas (oh the laughter

your killing me Bobby D with laughter)
