To me, the misleading of sensational media is down right scary as hell. Manipulating the public for selfish gains and to hell with the consequences is how we get into wars. Then with modern weapons. 50-70 million died in ww2. That-s just the ones who saw the end of the war. The survivors suffered much longer. Can you imagine the pain and suffering today? Look at Iraq. Uranium tipped shells are causing deformed babies. They never saw the war, but will suffer from it. All starts from the media.

That Plato quote is about how -them young people- ruin the good old oral tradition by writing poems into books and how that ruins the young peoples ability to memorize something. It's your mum yelling -go read a book! The TV is ruining your eyes! -.
I dont think you can intereprete that as being worried about how people could misintereprete your intention when you write things down. . I think there is some irony here somewhere.

Doesnt this guy totally misunderstand Socrates?
What Socrates seems to be saying that if you accustom yourself to writing things down or rely too much on what it is written. You will have a poorer memory. Think of the google effect or digital amnesia as a more contemporary example.

Wow, thanks for this! Blown away (oops) by the Pulitzer part. He apparently was no saint when it comes to the world of journalism, and yet here we are, awarding journalists under his name.

A great Discworld book related to this topic is -The Truth- by Terry Pratchett. It takes place in a fictional world where magic exists, but there are many parallels with our Roundworld: )
