today's McLuhan - Pynchon synchronicity tidbit

[Mark Kohut]

Good counterpunch. He doesn't cite specific sources re this but he does
write as if anthropologists, travellers, scholars might have the evidence

BUT he might also argue like this: they are human. Understand their world
day by living day....................\

And we can see how much richer their sensations and internalizations of experience
have to be.............................

I haven't read McLuhan, but that assertion is rather silly, given that
he has zero access to the inner life of pre-literate people.
