Good use of the above quotation by Marshall McLuhan in this article by L. M. Sacasas. They point out that we no longer access to coherent narratives, but rather find ourselves confronting "a cacophony of data points (videos, statements, claims, images, etc.)"

Which is why conspiracy theories abound.
