Meant to post this awhile ago. On April 15th a sinkhole 40' by 60' and 20' opened up about 22 mi from my home. It was in Richmond Ca., at the intersection of El Portal and El Verdi. What are the odds. El Portal!! What a trip. So far it's just swallowed a couple cars.
[[MCLUHAN: If you have difficulty envisioning something as trivial as the imminent end of elections, you'll be totally unprepared to cope with the prospect of the forthcoming demise of spoken language and its replacement by a global consciousness.
PLAYBOY: You're right.
MCLUHAN: Let me help you. Tribal man is tightly sealed in an integral collective awareness that transcends conventional boundaries of time and space. As such, the new society will be one mythic integration, a resonating world akin to the old tribal echo chamber where magic will live again: a world of ESP. The current interest of youth in astrology, clairvoyance and the occult is no coincidence. Electric technology, you see, does not require words any more than a digital computer requires numbers. Electricity makes possible--and not in the distant future, either--an amplification of human consciousness on a world scale, without any verbalization at all.]]
The literate mind tends more toward "MATCHING" SENSE rather than "MAKING" SENSE.
Noticing synchronicities to make a narrative or road of co-incidence is the preference of the literate sensibility. This cliche mental gesture now has ARCHETYPAL intensity for literate persons as they encounter the gaping MAW of the Android Meme's replay of the pre- and post-literate sensory profile.
