Clinton Ignatov is a Mcluhan scholar and has a labyrinthine mind like an eccentric Renaissance alchemist.  He has a great YouTube channel called ‘Concerned Netizen’ where he goes into the weeds of this great Canadian scholar who discovered ‘The global village’ and then later renamed it ‘The global theater’.  Alexander Bard’s philosophy is also aimed at, among other things, trying to understand Mcluhanism for the internet age, and contains the same challenging prophetic urgency, which is never moralistic.  Enjoy this sparking conversation and deep dive!
