The 'expert' is the man who stays put.

In big industry new ideas are invited to rear their heads so they can be clobbered at once. The idea department of a big firm is a sort of lab for isolating dangerous viruses.

The only way to recover the old world is to induce the media into vomiting it back up.

Anything that's popular is a rear-view image.

Only puny secrets need protection. Big discoveries are protected by public incredulity.

In a cool medium, the audience is an active constituent of the viewing or listening experience. A girl wearing open-mesh silk stockings or glasses is inherently cool and sensual because the eye acts as a surrogate hand in filling in the low-definition image thus engendered. Which is why boys make passes at girls who wear glasses.

There is a real, living unity in our time, as in any other, but it lies submerged under a superficial hubbub of sensation.
