McLuhan was a genius. But he didn't invent anything. He was a genius in connecting the dots. He was a genius of innertrip into the sense of mankind. He inherited media studies from Harold Innis one of his masters. He was a Christian mystic like Chesterton and Maritain. All of his ideas were coming from other sources. He was exploring and very careful not to to predict anything that had not already happened. He was an artist like Shakespeare and Joyce. The artist is the person who invents the means to bridge biological inheritance and the environments created by technological innovation. He was aware of the revolution provided by media evolution. That they are taking us backwards, that they are shaping our sense ratio, and that this all is to be found in the Christian religion. That we are living in apocalypse now. He was Captain Planet for Wyndham Lewis, T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, W. B. Yeats, and James Joyce. He even made a very significant, albeit scarcely short contribution into the field of theory of money which is still to be recognized in my opinion, or is already in full effect implemented by world government which was much alerted by X-rayness of his teachings . His impact on the human knowledge can be compared only to Copernicus. You can take one of his quotes and be drawn by its deepness down to the landscape of all human history compressed into the eyeblink.
