"You *felt* like you read a ton of books because you digested 200 context-free Baudrillard screenshots on Twitter, name checked 5 American poets during a dating app convo, read some meta-meta-Substack piece criticizing a New Yorker piece criticizing Jia Tolentino, and mainlined YouTube book talks at "
"Without real countries, Baudrillardian Disneylands emerge. Imitations of real things, imitations of imitations, and imitations without originals. As generations go by, young people take these plastic products for real things"
"I remember my friend telling me how he covertly pulled up porn on his phone while fucking a girl so that he could finally cum (very baudrillardian lmao)"
"Per Baudrillard, a system of images are in place instead of something related to reality. Proper science is still unmatched epistemologically, but most of the published 'reseach' is performative."
"This is transgressive art. This is the end point of all the neverending challenges and fads. This is a Baudrillardian ubermensch in the flesh and she will spell your name and put on a funny mask, just please watch for 3 more minutes."
"The movie was such a cheap copy of itself that it proves Baudillard right"
"I haven't got any deep knowledge about baudrillard but is this what he meant with simulacra? people wanting reality portrayed not as it is but as a simulation of an already simulated thing?"
"i used to work in nonprofit arts admin but then i heard dasha say "yeah totally" in that voice and suddenly i couldn't morally justify anything anymore. now i just sit in my apartment and read baudrillard in a bikini."

"Tried to read Simulation and Simulacra last month. I had been looking forward to it as you hear him mentioned so often I figured he must have some interesting ideas."
"I very much know this isn't even remotely a particularly new or revolutionary idea and already DFW, Baudrillard, Neil Postman, William S. Burroughs, Marshall McLuhan and probably twelve dozen other people have written about this in some form over the last 60 or so years"
"Everyone here thinks their particular suffering is somehow special because they've read Freud and Baudrillard and the silver spoon age pervert or whatever. But if every poster in this sub constantly going on about being "lost in life" or how hard online dating suxx etc just played some goofy prank o"
"I'm most of the way through and thoroughly impressed by it so far. Very Baudrillardian, and it's giving me a lot to think about."
"there is nothing in the world that looks even slightly like what it is and this process of baudrilliardian cultural psychosis reached its apotheosis in the shoe."
"So at some point she started asking me about my interests and shit and thats when the time came to drop 'oh a little bit of philosophy and literature'. And immediately she gives me the cuntiest smirk yet and says ''oh reeeeally'' (not exactly, it was in slovenian but same vibe) followed by 'like wha"

"every gadd'amn day i wish jean baudrillard and mark fischer and walter benjamin and guy debord and susan sontag and g. w. f. hegel himself were all here to watch the hulu continuation with me"
