Perhaps contrary to popular belief, I do not ignore irrational media. If I ignored it, how then could I talk about it? I regularly consume a wide variety of irrational media. [1]
Some irrational media (like the “New York Times”) don’t let me read very much of what they only disclose to the suckers they force to pay money and also sell personal information about the suckers (who also lack appropriate literacy skills) to the highest bidders, who resell them to large companies (who aim to target such suckers as potential customers for usually quite shoddy products and services). [2]
I prefer publishers to be more open and transparent. So when I “did a search” (about a man named “Morgan McSweeney”), I selected an article from “Chattanooga Times Free Press” (actually from pressreader.com ). This so-called “news” source informs me that:
About half his income comes from social media, he [Morgan McSweeney] said, reading ads for dog food or allergy medication.

What interested me first and still interests me most of all about Morgan McSweeney is something he recently mentioned on Alan Alda’s podcast named “Clear and Vivid”:
There’s obviously a lot of value in being able to package concepts from STEM into what is a compelling story.

I wrote about the way one particular point of view is better than no particular point of view a few weeks ago [3]. I plan to write more about the links between these articles tomorrow — so stay tuned! [4] 😀
