Symbolic Exchange and Death is more rewarding than Simulacra and Simulation if you wanna see where the ideas come from 🥰 but only if you wanna torture yourself with a slow motion build-up (said with love), and ideally have a secondary text around.
It doesn't matter whether you agree with him or not, there's always something in him that unsettles you. <3
Either way: a few pages ➡️ stare at wall (rinse and repeat)

dans une société de croissance, ce sont les besoins de la croissance qui suscitent une « surrection illimitée de besoins »

This paper examines poem "Death of a Philosopher" – a parody of postmodernist thinkers. It is shown how meter and allusions are used to turn an elegy into a conservative attack on postmodern. The poem's rhythm echoes "God's Judgment on a Bishop" – framing postmodernists as intellectual frauds deserving cosmic punishment.

Hello, nerds. Welcome back to my AI writing experiment with Gemini.
We just dropped the third part of our "Disenchantment of Modern Science" series. Anyone here still holding a grudge over the "Sokal Affair"?
I was on the winning side laughing back then, but it feels like that whole drama never got a proper sequel... so I decided to give them the counter-attack they deserved!

Welcome to my AI writing experiment with Gemini, a highly encouraging co-writer of mine who drives my madness up to eleven.
Some of you might dislike this article because it’s mocking "science." But hey, when the US president lies about his war preferences in public, and science magazines declare that "this entire universe is a computer simulation!", why can't we have our own fun?

Many of us remember the 'no spoon' scene in The Matrix, but I'm unsatisfied with the many interpretations.
Now, you can be unsatisfied with mine. Fair is fair.

#AI blbne z generovaných textů
tj. holt #smrtarchivu
a ne, #Baudrillard takto termín nepoužil: ale jeho volným výkladem: #simulakrum metastazuje tak, že dojde k implozi archivu... ke smrti archivu - dál zůstává jen sebereferenční bujení
třeba nakonec budou #AIdevs platit lidem, co umí ještě psát 😆

Simulacra Explained: Jean Baudrillard's Theory of Simulation
I think the video is a well done explainer.
While reading the kinda angry book, my Computational Thinker’s brain would translate to words like CAP-Theorem, heuristics, implied-in-fact contracts and Law of Leaky Abstractions. I’m living in a computer scientist simulation.
Do you think “Simulation” is an elegant word for describing what’s going on? Also who is setting up all the simulacra?

Next time students ask me for an example of #simulacrum, I will point to this.

Propensity for Simulacra examines a world where systems perfect behaviour by erasing humanity itself.
It extends the ideas in When the Camera Becomes the Conscience.

What happens when morality survives only as performance? In Simulacra, Chapter 26 of Propensity, three teenagers discover that right and wrong are just old lines the species keeps rehearsing.

Figuring out whether a video is AI or not is irrelevant, and won't deliver us from the breakdown of trust in our own eyes.
AI videos are an instance where the simulacrum precedes the original and the distinction between reality and representation vanishes.
The human response to viewing these videos is purely a stimulation of our basic triggers, our internalisation of what we've seen... purely vibes-based.

Das Man
Das Man is watching me, piercing and true,
He knows what I do, what I did, what makes me you.I hate those gypsy eyes, surveilling my very soul,
Telling me who I am, what must be my role.It builds a simulation where I am always lost —
And me? I only ever wanted
the cost I never bought. -
The Matrix lied to you. Freedom isn’t knowing the world is fake; it’s realising you can’t leave it. Race, gender, economy, nation—all simulations we keep performing to keep the lights on. Rousseau called them chains. Foucault called it biopower. I call it Tuesday.

“Post-modern”? Try peri-delusional.
We’ve reached the point where language sounds like an afterparty for ideas that never showed up.
The prefix is tired. The age is tired. And yet—here we are, still pretending that a hyphen can save us.https://philosophics.blog/2025/10/18/post-everything-notes-on-prefix-fatigue/

Reading #Baudrillard s Symbolic Exchange and Death and it‘s eerie how well this fits as an analysis of the current conjuncture. Baudrillard remains the most Marxist of the Postmodernists, and his Freudomarxism and parallelism of value theory and semiotics leading him to diagnose the degradation of the law of value into the commutability of all values as well as signs suddenly seems so pertinent.
I knew his media theory and always took him as one of the ontologists and pessimists but he really isn’t, he’s obviously obsessed with Brecht (who he translated into German), and he tries to establish a new form of Marxist analysis for a new age that he sees unfolding and which we are now seeing attaining its full form.

"Baudrillard is not the clownish postmodernist his detractors caricatured, nor the whimsical nihilist students quoted for shock. He is the autopsy surgeon of the technocratic age. Each book is a scalpel cut across the body of modernity, slicing through the organs of politics, media, sexuality, and war, exposing how they metastasized into simulation. The result is not diagnosis in the medical sense but necropsy. His writings insist that the body under examination is already dead, that modernity’s structures are cadavers animated only by circuits of signs. To read him seriously is to accept that he is not describing decline but staging the posthumous report of a reality that has already disappeared.
What he saw long before the present algorithmic empire was that technology would not merely augment reality but replace it with its own operational fiction. The screen, the code, and the network do not represent the world; they enact it. A war fought on television becomes indistinguishable from its spectacle. A political order administered through polls and simulations ceases to be representative and becomes purely operational. A financial system governed by derivatives no longer reflects value but generates it out of recursive circulation. In this regime, signs no longer represent but execute. To watch television, to scan an image feed, to scroll an algorithmic timeline is not to witness the real but to inhabit a program that produces its own reality."

Ellis gave us Reagan’s hollowed children. Welsh gave us Thatcher’s lost boys. The films gave us smoothies. Less Than Zero was gutted; Trainspotting was diluted. Junkies as simulacra, copies of copies, safe for consumption. Literature showed us rot; cinema pasteurised it.
