everything he said over 20 years ago rings so much louder and truer today

Brilliant lecture, watching this in 2025 feels like witnessing a prophetic vision for the reality we live in now. Found this only out of curiosity after reading "Amusing Ourselves to Death", the parallels with the issues he raised in 1985 is eerily similar to the problems we face with technology in the 21st.

Neil Postman's wisdom is sorely missed in our current technology driven culture.

I have recently read a few of his books and wish I could have met him. As with all fine writers, he doesn't make his ideas unnecessarily obscure.

What a sane and soulful presentation. People like Postman and Christopher Hitchens are sorely missed.

Postman's writings are among the most important things I read during my 40 years of teaching. So much sense there, so challenging at the same time. I wanted to be a better teacher because of his teaching.
