Fascinating piece OG rose. I am the person who stays on his laptop all day. Fascinating to think of the phenomenological consequences of that. How my values are shaped by that. Makes me think of Marshal McLuhan stuff. I’ve become curious about McLuhans work on media and medium. Do you have any recommendations on a good place to start with McLuhan?
Thank you for reading, Mr. Nelson! Indeed, it's hard not to be on the laptop constantly, and this isn't inherently bad, but at the same time we should be aware of the ways this might benefit power and similar systems. And I love McLuhan! I have a number of papers inspired by him, though no single work dedicated to just him. That said, Owen Cox has done work on McLuhan you might enjoy exploring, such as this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoRELlQ-oHA
I would also suggest listening to Neil Postman on McLuhan, who was a tremendous illuminator on his work:

For my take that is most McLuhan, I might suggest "Representing Beauty":
