… vino Marshall McLuhan! Resulta que McLuhan publicó un mazo de cartas, “Distant Early Warning”, que incluía citas de su obra y aforismos. Me gustó mucho este en particular:
In the world of the blind, the one-eyed man is a hallucinated idiot.
Fantástico.
La cita, más completa, para contexto:
“To introduce understanding into a somnambulistic society is perhaps a kind of explosive and satirical activity. But the public has its revenge. In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is regarded as a hallucinated idiot…for he sees what no one else does: things that, to everyone else, are not there.”
