Today man has no physical body.*

Today we experience, in reverse, what pre-literate man faced with the advent of writing.

Literate man, civi-
lized man,
tends to restrict and to
separate functions,
whereas tribal man has
freely extended the
form of his body
to include the universe.

Language
does for intelligence
what the wheel does for the feet and body.
It enables them to move from
thing to thing
with greater ease and speed
and less involvement.

*Today man has no physical body. He is translated into information, or an image.
