  • you are making baudrillard seem like some crazy subjective idealist, he is not. Tastes are not illusions according to Baudrillard. Furthermore 'illusion' needs to be defined not as a perceptual quality but rather as the gapless divide between the copy -as-real and the real-as-'dialectical'--- from a hegelian point of view

  • I have no idea what I'm talking about. It's all pretty much serious entertainment. I like the phrase "gapless divide between the copy-as-real and the real-as-dialectical" but I can't say my senses make much sense of it. I'm trying. Isn't "gapless divide" sort of oxymoronic? At least in terms of language? Maybe I'll change the series now to the Derrida Series. Allows more room for contradiction.

  • Cool colours. Brown and green go together very well.

  • "O, hoi polloi's 'reality' is merely an illusion. There's still some reality behind it though, and only from THAT perspective can you sort out all the rest!"

    - Plato / the germ of the Matrix

    "Icons/models/signs, which are obviously not real, are vital to life and knowledge in our age. If you look behind them for the 'real', you will only find more 'illusions'. There's no passive or dialectical escape from a system that encourages both."

    - Baudrillard

    Google "Baudrillard The Matrix Decoded".

  • VERY GOOD!!!

  • @sigmund000 i like smokein pot

  • 'We think we know what is real but we don't!' Hey.. I keep writing letters too! Well done! ;-)

  • There is no real, reality is in the eye of the beholder. The matrix is a distopia wrapped in a desire for the human to transend to the cybernetic but lament its transition.

  • Brilliant, strawpurchasex. Tropic Thunder is the exemplary hyperreality--perhaps to the second degree.

  • I believe it is true. Baudrillard himself said the Matrix was a gross misinterpretation of his ideas.

  • no thats not true .... neo takes a book of simulation and simulacra (and the first minutes of the movie) where his datas are stored inside the book... thats a very strong massage
