Crazy Talk Stupid Talk How We Defeat Ourselves The Way We Talk Neil Postman

Description: Crazy Talk, Stupid Talk: How We Defeat Ourselves by the Way We Talk by Neil Postman is a thought-provoking exploration of language, communication, and how the way we speak shapes our understanding of the world. Originally published in 1976, this second printing edition from 1979 dives deep into the ways language and societal discourse can undermine our ability to think critically and clearly. In his signature style, Postman dissects the evolution of communication, from its early forms to the problematic patterns of modern speech. This book is an insightful read for anyone interested in language, psychology, and societal trends. The second printing, published in 1979, features Postman’s reflections on how language influences and often limits our thoughts, how we communicate with others, and the consequences of ineffective or destructive forms of communication. Postman’s critique extends to both everyday conversations and media communication, which often perpetuate misunderstanding and chaos instead of enlightenment and clarity.
