Decided to dip into #doctorwho for the first time in years, and found the Intertsellar song show episode almost *unimaginably* shite.

This was given at the Hundred Years Gallery last spring to celebrate the 60 year anniversary of his bestseller, Understanding Media.

Exalted Words and Machine Minds
The Soviets believed that to control language was to reshape reality. All it did was blind them to it.
