Liquid Lunch Podcast - Paul Levinson Unveils a New Chapter of "Digital Mcluhan"!

Published: Nov. 30, 2016, midnight

Can being cool change the world? Do we judge our leaders based on their looks and personality instead of their policies and promises? Do we fool ourselves into believing nonsense if it appeals to our selfish desires? Paul Levinson thinks so, and he makes a very convincing argument why. The popularity of American Presidential Candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton prove his theories. In Mcluhan terms, Clinton and Trump are "hot" candidates with very little base or substance whose respective popularity are the result of pandering and empty promises. Paul Levinson talks politics and his new essay, an extension of his 1999 book "Digital Mcluhan", on this episode of Liquid Lunch!
