Just as God shaped man in his own image from clay, Europe was to be shaped by the United States according to its will. Immersion in consumer society was not enough; the same logic demanded the penetration not only of households and groceries with American wares but of people’s minds with American ideas and norms.

When an institution begins subjecting something so fundamental to a college education as writing to the cold logic of spreadsheets and bureaucratic streamlining, it has conceded quite a lot already. This concession may ultimately open the door for administrators of the future to argue that writing instruction should be turned over to robots for the sake of savings and efficiency.

Whatever the social effects of talk radio or the partisan agendas of certain hosts, it is a fallacy that political talk radio is motivated by ideology. It is not. Political talk radio is a business, and it is motivated by revenue. The conservatism that dominates today’s AM airwaves does so because it generates high Arbitron ratings, high ad rates, and maximum profits.
~ David Foster Wallace
