Baudrillard - The Murder of the Real (2/6)

[AnaLimaLuiza]

Ok. We are doomed. Let's wait for the end of times.

How convenient!

Be careful the way some concepts are being used. Be very careful because we are in a very dangerous period and all the academical words can make more harm.

Desalination is over?

Failure of utopies has to be surpassed or distopic world will last for a long time.

@AnaLimaLuiza desalination? disalienation ;) anyway, are we, as human species somehow immune to endings? our species must end at some point, our civilisation must decay at some point, these are the laws of nature.

[AnaLimaLuiza]

@trisky1234 yes, you're right but the way science is manipulating nature and don't know if it's laws will prevail.

Fukushima and other "natural disasters" are crimes that are not being taken seriously.

Baudrillard is difficult but I think that probably as a consequence of the Matrix film, that he is completely misunderstood. Understanding him is made even more difficult as he continuously contradicts himself. Remember Nietzsche's dictum " God is dead ", that expressed a moment of great change which had somehow gone unnoticed and Nietzsche's subsequent writings worked thru this proposition. Baudrillard is attempting a similar posture " the Perfect Crime ",it is not a moral, metaphysical(JB doe

@jasonkingkel Nietzsche killed God and how much was said about God after that!

Somehow i feel we have always been in a digital world.This reality itself is an illusion.He said that in digital world in future we dont know exactly what is happening.But in "real" world , we dont know either! Because its like most of the universe we cant even detect with any device , let alone with senses.
