"Just look at us. Everything is backwards, everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, psychiatrists destroy minds, scientists destroy truth, major media destroys information, religions destroy spirituality and governments destroy freedom," [capitalism destroys value.]

— Michael Ellner

@jnrolf Why? What do trivial details such as the year of his death matter. If anything that he focuses on the ideas and not the irrelevant adornments such as the information you demand gives greater legitimacy to his intellectuality. I would not care if he could not even remember the man's name, it's the ideas that are important.

@7th75thCallaghan Yes that and his hair.

@sinprelic Agree.

[jnrolf]

@7th75thCallaghan Generally your right...I would agree, that the 'average joe' can be excused from this type of detail...but in this case the so called expert, better be WELL READ about Baudrillard, that's just a basic starting point for a big mouth expert, before he/she decides to critique or explain the message.

@EclecticSceptic What a profound challenge to their ideas. Pathetic,

Great interview, thanks. Alan How clarifies much from the book which I have been reading & rereading for a year. Dr. Mitra's questions get right to the significance of Baudrillard's ideas.
