Marshall McLuhan, Joycean

Everybody has become porous. The light and the message go right through us.

By the way... at this moment, we are on the air. We do not have any physical body. When you’re on the telephone or on radio or on TV, you don’t have a physical body — you’re just an image on the air.

When you don’t have a physical body, you’re a discarnate being. You have a very different relation to the world around you. And this I think has been one of the big effects of the electric age. It has deprived people really of their private identity.

Everybody tends to merge his identity with other people at the speed of light. It’s called being mass man.

(in conversation with Mike McManus, 1977)

James Joyce Experience, Dublin Day, Dublin Night.

The metaphors exposed, the connections made, the merging, the joining, the medium waves, the nightmare of history of our Pale Blue Dot, from which we all try to awaken - and we all try to World Wide Wake.
