it’s a long harangue to plug the production of E-waste eh?
Good talk. McLuhan’s work is very cool (as in low definition and highly involving). His books are mosaic-carrots on the end of a stick. I think he was very reserved about the scale of the epiphany he gave theatre to.

Aha! I see that professor from Columbia – talking right behind Woody Allen & Annie Hall, right before Woody pulls McLuhan into the action – is still talking and in as firm a grasp of his understanding of McLuhan as ever
The Global Village ended in 1957 when Sputnik went up and the Global Theatre was born. This guy knows nothing of Mcluhan’s work >_<
Paul, brilliant, as always! You are among the rare scholars who can decipher McLuhan’s fallacies correctly, despite McLuhan’s own content or contextual assessment of same! To mangle a couple of metaphors, I think you are both “hot” and “cool”! Let’s analyze that one at our next dinner.
