My goodness! Such a rant!
All worn cliches evoked.
A hit! A palpable hit!

Oh Buddhrot, whoever "Rocky" is! McLuhan's "work on sensory bias" pales
beside the de-sensitizing elements presented by 20th century physics.
Planck's constant, special and general relativity and especially quantum
physics (and later string theory etc.) where all connections between
macro-logics and physical or sensory experience are severed and our
entire existence relies on mathematics and conformal, predetermined
phenomena embodied in discrete formula and systems of measurement. Let
McLuhan deal with the fringes of the central dilemma. Wall Street for
all of the debased reasons pointed up by Alighieri and reinvigorated by
Pound, embraced mathematical models to both mask and substantiate their
felonious behavior. The perceived moral immunity of mathematics played a
significant role in the looting of the commonweal. After much prompting
even my hometown newspaper the Washington Post took up the topic today
on the front page. CP
