I've thought a lot in my biostats program about how to use statistical relationships and distribution structures pedagogically to more fully recognize the messiness of interdependence that pervades the sensation of cultural unities without reducing it to numeric trendcasting. Excited to read!

can't believe this is 40 years old and I still have to deal with "computer literacy"

(how do i @ every librarian on here?)
That information is a form of knowledge alienated from human bodily experience is rarely recognized by theorists of education. E. D. Hirsch’s recent best-seller, Cultural Literacy: What Every American Needs to Know (1987), is a striking example of the grotesque results that come from thinking of education or knowledge in terms of information. Information is a term central to his argument: &dquo;culturally literate&dquo; people possess certain pieces of information that others do not (and he and his collaborators kindly provide us with a list of &dquo;information&dquo; that culturally literate Americans possess). But consider the strange title of his book. Once &dquo;cultural literacy&dquo; would have been taken as a ridiculous redundancy: to be literate was to be cultured. Now literacy has become a name for a skill in handling various forms of information (computer literacy being another oxymoronic marriage of terms). Hirsch explicitly views culture as a content area, a pool of information (possession of which will naturally help you &dquo;communicate better&dquo;). It consists of an objectifiable array of facts, phrases, and allusions which will supposedly save American discourse from its well-known penchant for cheapness. But the cheapening has already taken place in Hirsch’s assumption that culture resides in a list rather than a life. To be awake to the possible varieties of human experience, present and historical, is the mark of an educated human being. True knowledge is not to possess information, but to throw it away. It is to run up against the borders of one’s own ignorance, to recognize one’s mortality and finitude. That is something that a computer cannot do, while a computer, in Hirsch’s terms, could quite easily be culturally literate. In sum, empiricism took the forms out of information, leaving it the chaotic &dquo;stuff’ of sensory experience. But it remained anchored in the human mind and senses.

disclosure: all my trendcasting is really just propaganda and psyop for the aesthetics that i’m personally chasing

due to the hyper saturated multi media landscape, i think we will see a shift towards text-based experiences that are devoid of most visual imagery

Nobody can outperform #trends . #AMZN beats #WMT to become world's largest retailer Q4 2024. In biz you want to ride trends to growth rather than attempting to defend & exist your old biz model #SparkPartners.com #AdamHartung.com #strategy #trendcasting #scenarioplanning

I think a big factor today is that none of the past generations grew with this kind of trendcasting of what they'd be like influencing how they're treated.
