#Orality
🩷How about instead of the morality of lusting over fictional characters we think of the orality, like how much I want to suck them off?

The thing about oral culture is that it always reasserts itself, not as primary orality (that pseudo-paradise is forever lost) but as a challenge to the currently dominant technological and media culture. Hip-hop was/is oral even as it depended on vinyl records. New kinds of drama always pop up.

12. (Audiobook) I have been intrigued and increasingly convinced by the return-of-orality thesis since I read about it a couple of years ago. This book lays out the case in a bit more detail, the history of rise of literacy wa esp interesting.

I tried to figure out when I got my copy of Orality and Literacy and it turns out I ordered it twice, once in 2021 and once in 2022. I have no memory of this, I only have one copy, we moved in between, and crucially they were both for the 30th anniversary edition from 2022??? did I time warp

So the best Ong essay IMO is one he wrote about computers and “secondary literacy” (vs secondary orality). It is not easy to find but I have an old blog post about it here snarkmarket.com/2009/3115/

There's a great scene in Star Trek IV - yes, the one where the crew travels back in time to save whales - where Scotty, the engineer, tries

I just read this and it was really interesting, thanks!! I feel like there’s room for a tertiary orality being created with the rise of voice interfaces for LLM agents, which is maybe the first voice based interface I see people actually using for complex tasks and not just “alexa set a timer”

not exactly, from what I remember he thought that movies were "hot" (along with literature) and television was "cool," with the difference being the way the medium requiring your input to "complete" it (though the bigger picture was the transition from orality to literacy to post-literacy, I think)

You and me both! Everyone who got this in their inboxes, just pretend that where it says "morality"it actually says "orality" cause that's what I meant 🤦🏼‍♂️
