Marshall didn’t pretend to be a scientist, but he did
pretend to talk about the truth. And there is a
contradiction. In our culture, in the culture that
Marshall invaded and raped, it was a culture where
the scientific proof was the guarantee and the
ground of any aspect of reality. But we are into
morphing, into virtual reality. We are into every
possible manipulation of the evidence, even
historical, even socio-geographical evidence.
Marshall himself made the point beautifully when
he said, “I wouldn’t have seen it, if I hadn’t believed
it.”
