"To speak, I have to be somehow already in communication with the mind I am to address before I start speaking. I can be in touch perhaps through past relationships, by an exchange of glances, by an understanding with a third person who has brought me and my interlocutor together, or in any of countless other ways. (Words are modifications of a more-than-verbal situation.) I have to sense something in the other’s mind to which my own utterance can relate. Human communication is never one-way. Always, it not only calls for response but is shaped in its very form and content by anticipated response."

Walter J. Ong, Orality and Literacy: The Technologizing of the Word. (Florence: Taylor & Francis Group, 1982), p. 173

Little things I learned about the members of Constellation:

- Andreja feels like an outcast to the rest of the group and doesn’t feel like she’s included in their group activities.

- On the flip side, Barrett will try to invite Andreja to join him and the others in said activities and she always declines (this includes things like movie night, dancing, cooking, listening to music, board games and having drinks together)

- The members all get together to have movie night and take turns picking out the movies

- Andreja tries so hard to make jokes with Barrett but he always knows what she’s gonna say. She gets discouraged but keeps trying

- Barrett and Vlad once spent 5k of Constellation’s credits to throw a party on The Eye

- Sarah is completely against Sam bringing Cora along with him. She suggests leaving Cora with Matteo to ensure her safety. Sam becomes irritated and defensive and says Cora goes with him.

- Sam and Barrett are sports bros and love watching games together. If one of them isn’t around to watch the game, the other will record it so they can watch it together later

- Sam has terrible spelling

- Barrett is actually his last name. His first name starts with A but (as far as I know) we don’t know what the A stands for

- Sarah seems to fill a kind of motherly role of the group, checking in with Barrett after being held hostage by pirates, keeping Sam on track, watching out for Cora, reassuring Andreja, etc

- Sam and Barrett seem to cause the most trouble or make the most mistakes in the group. Barrett will try to joke and laugh it off until Sarah threatens punishment. Sam however can get grumpy and irritated when “Sarah Perfect Morgan” calls him out on it.

- Andreja has some knowledge in cooking

- Barrett does as well and will cook large meals for the group

- Cora will occasionally take some of Barrett’s stuff, usually books, without asking leading to Barrett going to Sam to get them back

- Sam seems to get easily distracted while on missions. “Sam, did you check out that thing I asked you to?” “Well I was going to but then I got caught in a goose chase-” “So did you or not?” “I was going to but then there was this thing-” “Should I just assign someone else?” “Uh that would probably be best”

- Andreja really wants to teach Cora self defense and how to fight and use a weapon. Sam is uncomfortable with it and tries to brush Andreja off. She doesn’t get the hint though

- Sam keeps an open tab at the bookstore in Akila City for Cora. She's supposed to be cut off at 100 credits but tends to overspend

- The stress Sarah is under must be obvious to the other members as multiple members of Constellation will ask if she is doing ok

- Barrett tries to get Noel to join them in space but she declines and reveals how much she is overworking herself. She then admits that she had nothing but her smarts to get her ahead in life

- Sarah is Cora’s favorite member of Constellation. Sam is her second favorite

- Not knowing where Andreja is from and her backstory drives Matteo crazy. He will vent to Sam about it who tells him to let it go and everyone is allowed their secrets

- Aja recruited Barrett into Constellation

- Sarah and Vlad recruited Andreja into Constellation

- At one point in his life, some people called Sam “Sammy”, he now detests the name and “goes by just Sam now”

- While Barrett was grieving, Aja sat with him in his room. He doesn't remember what she said but her presence was comforting and that’s what he remembers most

- Despite not having many credits himself, Sam is willing to help out those in need whether it's loaning credits to Barrett, keeping an open book tab for Cora or donating to those in need.

- Sarah is not afraid to ask Walter for money. They have some banter back and forth but Walter always signs the check

- Nadia at SSNN tries to get Sam to dig up dirt on Jacob. Despite the estranged relationship with his dad, Sam refuses

- Barrett and Sam have both been to jail at least once

- Sam and Sarah have an ongoing debate over which is the superior beer. Sarah suggests they go bar hopping one day to test their theory.

Lingthusiasm Episode 89: Connecting with oral culture

For tens of thousands of years, humans have transmitted long and intricate stories to each other, which we learned directly from witnessing other people telling them. Many of these collaboratively composed stories were among the earliest things written down when a culture encountered writing, such as the Iliad and the Odyssey, the Mwindo Epic, and Beowulf.

In this episode, your hosts Gretchen McCulloch and Lauren Gawne get enthusiastic about how writing things down changes how we feel about them. We talk about a Ted Chiang short story comparing the spread of literacy to the spread of video recording, how oral cultures around the world have preserved astronomical information about the Seven Sisters constellation for over 10,000 years, and how the field of nuclear semiotics looks to the past to try and communicate with the far future. We also talk about how "oral" vs " written" culture should perhaps be referred to as "embodied" vs "recorded" culture because signed languages are very much part of this conversation, where areas of residual orality have remained in our own lives, from proverbs to gossip to guided tours, and why memes are an extreme example of literate culture rather than extreme oral culture.

Among those I heard him talk about most often were Bertrand Russell, George Orwell, G.K. Chesterton, George Bernard Shaw, Alfred North Whitehead, Sigmund Freud, Karl Marx, Philippe Aries, Jacques Ellul, Rudolph Arnheim, Norbert Elias, Robert Maynard Hutchins, Christopher Lasch, Walter Ong, Eric Havelock, Lewis Mumford, Harold Innis, and of course Marshall McLuhan, whom Postman met in the 1950s, before anyone had ever heard of the Canadian English professor who would write "Understanding Media" (1964). McLuhan always regretted that he had not founded a Ph.D. program like Postman's, and until the rediscovery of McLuhan by young people of the Internet age, that program helped keep interest in his ideas alive. "The medium is the message," McLuhan's most famous line, is not an easy idea to grasp. It just looks that way.

Odds & Ends: May 26, 2023

“The Purple Testament” episode of The Twilight Zone. Wednesday’s episode of the podcast about the 11th Airborne Division during WWII led me into reading this interesting article about the combat experience of Rod Serling, creator of The Twilight Zone, which then led me to watching an episode of the classic television show I hadn’t watched before. Serling was a member of the 11th Airborne Division’s 511th Parachute Infantry Regiment, which lost a third of its ranks during its fighting in the Pacific. Serling, who earned the Bronze Star and Purple Heart, was haunted by his harrowing experiences after the war, and these ghosts served as indirect and direct inspiration for episodes of The Twilight Zone. As an example of the latter, the article referenced “The Purple Testament” (Season 1, Episode 19), which depicts an officer fighting in the Philippines who has gained the ability to predict soldiers’ deaths by looking into their faces. It’s a pretty good episode — especially once you know about Serling’s personal connection to the story’s backdrop. Fighting for Life: Contest, Sexuality, and Consciousness by Walter J. Ong. Walter J. Ong was a Jesuit priest who spent his career as an academic studying and writing about how humanity’s transition from an oral to written culture changed human consciousness. In Fighting for Life, he looks at how competition — particularly male competition — shaped that process. He focuses on how the male drive for competition influenced philosophers and academics from ancient Greece through the Enlightenment to create a learning environment that was agonistic. Ong argues that after the Romantic Era, education became more feminized, and an emphasis on cooperation rather than competition began to pervade classrooms. “Experiences Won’t Make You Happier Than Possessions.” You’ve probably heard that research has found that spending your money on experiences rather than things will lead to greater happiness. We like this kind of scientific finding; it seems “right.” But as the author of this piece convincingly explains, that finding is based on the particular (and potentially misleading) way studies on the subject have been framed, and when you look at the question from other angles, it’s not so clear that experiences are superior to possessions in the happiness-generating department. Some people may get more enjoyment from the former than the latter, and vice versa. So the conclusion is to not make your spending decisions based on pop psychology, but what you personally enjoy.  Nutricost Creatine Monohydrate Powder. We’ve written about the benefits of creatine. Besides aiding in muscle and strength building, it can also boost cognition. It’s one of the most research-vetted supplements out there and has been shown to be effective and safe. It’s also pretty dang cheap. You don’t need any of those proprietary blend creatine powders; plain old, straight-up creatine monohydrate is perfectly effective. I’ve been using this creatine monohydrate powder from Nutricost for awhile now. It’s a good price and gets the job done.

Activity #1 (COMMUNICATIONS)

These are all of the things that I have learned from the readings that were given to the class.

The first that I have learned would be that, in communication, there are two prevalent cultures which are the Oral culture and the Written culture.

Societies that primarily have an oral culture have many core differences from societies that have a chirographic (writing) culture that it is quite difficult for a person from one culture to truly understand someone from the other. Firstly, one of the main difference in oral culture from a writing one is that it is aligned to the "human lifeworld" (the world as a person would experience daily) while a culture that has been exposed to writing can be seen as more distanced to said "lifeworld" since writing has an emphasis on a neutral stance on the representations of humanity.

Another difference of the cultures would be their social standings. Oral Cultures tend to be traditionalist/conservative that it is due the fact that, since the preservation of knowledge is key to their survival, they rely on more older folks as a leader since they have accumulated more knowledge. Meanwhile, in writing cultures, though it can be conservative at times, it is less reliant on older people for guidance since any knowledge can be jotted down in a sheet of paper and that results in a society that has an emphasis on discovery.

Though they have many differences, there are also many similarities between the cultures. The biggest similarities of the two cultures would be that, how they communicate is still the same with the speaker spreading a message to the receiver, who then sends feedback to the speaker. Another similarity would be that both cultures uses their primary tool of communication as a way to express themselves through stories, proverbs, etc.

The second would be Walter Ong's intersubjectivity of communication where it states that communication is not one sided, like that of the model Aristotle had, and that, for every message received by an audience, there also is a response (feedback).

This also helps in how communication is different from media since many would think that they are similar in many aspects but the key distinction between the two is that, while communication is focus on a message and a response, media is about the dissemination of a message or information with little regard to a response.

And lastly, I learned how 'media' model of communication show chirographic conditioning, where there is a shift from an oral culture of communication to a written one. It illustrates this through how a culture that has shifted would be in favor of a linear thinking instead of a repetition of thinking found in oral cultures since media tends to be one-sided.

[ID: My earliest encounters with people who could neither read nor write (and nor, in this case, speak English) were in the Pacific Islands where I lived and worked for more than two decades. As a geologist, my research took me to some of the remotest corners of the Pacific region, where my self-belief as a conventional scientist gradually eroded and was replaced with an appreciation of other worldviews equally as valid as that with which I had been inculcated. I also became disabused of the belief — held by most Western-educated literate people — that oral it is inferior to literacy. As carefully explained by Walter Ong in his classic book Orality and Literacy: The Technologizing of the Word (1982), not only has literacy transformed human consciousness, shifting it from sound-focused to sight-focused, but is has also ‘weaken[ed] the mind’. For, as Ong wrote: ‘Those who use writing will become forgetful, relying on an external resource for what they lack in internal resources.’ Plato’s Socrates noted the same thing, arguing that writing ‘destroys memory’, something that sustained oral societies in every part of the inhabited world for tens of thousands of years. /end ID]
