Innis

A spectacle. Visible regime change. Metrics they could point to. Something arriving in the shape of the things that had arrived before it so they could recognise it and evaluate it and decide whether to endorse it. What they got was a carpenter telling them the thing they were waiting for was already happening in their midst and they could not see it because they were looking for the wrong shape. This is the perennial error. Looking for the next platform when the answer is a protocol. Looking for the next king when the answer is a network. Looking for the future in the outline of the past.
