“mutate,” get into the bowels of consciousness, 
get into the magma of this constant churning 
subconscious reality that underlies a culture. And 
then when it’s ready, and when the culture itself 
has seen some of the transformation that the 
seed actually prefigured somehow or reflected, 
then it comes up again. And it comes up as this is 
nature for today. I see that as a very big 
possibility. I see it as a possibility regarding 
particularly McLuhan because his vision of the 
global village was entirely appropriate for an era 
run and ruled by television, because television is 
based on space, not on time—well it has time too, 
it deals with time, but really it is based on space.
