Men Speed Mass

More From Marshall McLuhan

Speed is the form of ecstasy the technical revolution has bestowed on man. as opposed to a motorcyclist, the runner is always present in his body, forever required to think about his blisters, his exhaustion; when he runs he feels his weight, his age, more conscious than ever of himself and of his time of life. this all changes when man delegates the faculty of speed to a machine: from then on, his own body is outside the process, and he gives over to a speed that is noncorporeal, nonmaterial, pure speed, speed itself, ecstasy speed.

If i were to give a summary of the tendency of our times, i would say, quantity. the multitude, the mass spirit, dominates everywhere, destroying quality. our entire life--production, politics, and education--rests on quantity, on numbers. the worker who once took pride in the thoroughness and quality of his work, has been replaced by brainless, incompetent automatons, who turn out enormous quantities of things, valueless to themselves, and generally injurious to the rest of mankind. thus quantity, instead of adding to life's comforts and peace, has merely increased man's burden.

Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction. joblessness is a weapon of mass destruction, homelessness, a weapon of mass destruction... racism, a weapon of mass destruction, fear, a weapon of mass destruction. we must disarm these weapons and renew our commitment to quality public schools and dedicated teachers and good housing and quality health care and decent jobs and stronger neighborhoods.
