Sorry for the flood of McLuhan stuff. It's just that (re)reading through all his stuff really feels like going back home...
To reward and to make celebrities of artists can, also, be a way of ignoring their prophetic work, and preventing its timely use for survival. The artist is the man in any field, scientific or humanistic, who grasps the implications of his actions and of new knowledge in his own time. He is the man of total awareness.
P.S.: The bold is mine, of course.
O.T. Ciao Bru!

It's the basics. Good stuff. It saddens me that so many people think he's a quack just because they think they get it, when what they get is just the quackery.
Intempestiva: Tutto bene qui, grazie dell'articolo, non conosco nessun Angelo qui tuttavia :)
Boris: yeah, even though I know little people that think he was a quack :)
