“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all.

Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)

“Where village statesmen talked with looks profound,
And news much older than their ale went round.”
