McLuhan
The paper bridges McLuhan media theory, ADHD/inner-speech/affect-labeling neuroscience, the Koob–allostasis addiction model, and the extended-mind / enactivist / PSM frameworks.1. The paper synthesizes Clark's extended mind, Metzinger's PSM, and McLuhan's autoamputation.2.

These are things people say about McLuhan that aren't settled fact — each one attributed to who's actually claiming it, so a claim never quietly passes as established just because it showed up in a document. Weigh it yourself.
