On the Binding Biases of Time and Other Essays on General Semantics
and Media Ecology consists of a series of explorations into our use
of symbols, language, and media to relate to our environment, and
how our different modes of perception and communication influence
human consciousness, culture, and social organization. These essays
draw upon and integrate the perspectives of general semantics,
systems theory, and media ecology, bringing them to bear upon a
diversity of topics that include the future of consciousness,
identity and meaning, the Ten Commandments, media literacy, The
Lord of the Rings, and our relationship to time. Throughout this
volume, Strate grapples with the question of what it means to be
human, and what the prospects may be for humanity's continued
survival. As he concludes in the title essay of this book: "As a
species, we are binders of time, bound up by our biases of time; we
are moved by our consciousness of time, as we tell time, and as we
tell ourselves that only time will tell; as we play for time, and
as we pray, as we pray for time."
