Ong's Thought," I highlight certain selected features about Harvard's Joseph Henrich's nearly 700-page 2020 book The WEIRDest People in the World: How the West Became Psychologically Peculiar and Particularly Prosperous (Farrar, Straus and Giroux). Scattered throughout my review essay, I refer to works by numerous other scholars that Henrich does not mention, most notably the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist, cultural historian, and pioneering media ecology theorist Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955).enJoseph Henrich, Walter J. Ong, Eric A. HavelockScholarly Text or Essay
