“Moral indignation is a technique used to endow the idiot with dignity.” – McLuhan

What struck me most about the stories of McLuhan was a point about his ability to keep morals out of his conversations about media. Coupland explains, “Morality often impedes free thinking. Moral indignation is a salve for people unable or unwilling to try to understand. Again the maelstrom: understand your world and detach from it, or be drowned by it.”
