to tie together the weekend's conversation topics, i feel like "millennial optimism" is actually our compulsive desire to reenact the plots and follow the affect of mass media, whether it is good or bad. We are Baudrillard's generation, and man is Stevens a simulacra girl
I'm screaming

I appreciate that genuine Garrisons are indistinguishable from AI simulacra

2. in the same way that your visit to niagara falls has a kind of scripted reaction (baudrillard, simulacra, etc), how much does canon act as coercion? Is it more difficult to express an opinion when it results in placing yourself in opposition to decades of critical consensus?

if you have not the nerve to carve a pumpkin, do not simply buy a plastic pumpkin and use it in place. such simulacra are ghoulish, yes, but not in such a way that fulfils festive requirements.

This is some Simulation and Simulacra stuff. Goodness.

Media has always been co-opted and used by right-wing ideologies through history.

There's a book on this, Simulacra and Simulation by Jean Baudillard.

Side note finding a copy of Simulacra and Simulation in a bookstore was weirdly difficult? I would have thought that one would be widespread enough I could find it almost anywhere but no

What they don't tell you about cooking vegan meals is that it feels like being some sort of alchemist or apothecary, concocting plants and fungi into wonderfully strange cheese simulacra

once i'm done with satiating my thirst and, frankly, much bitterness towards the portrayal of Medea, it's time to dip into this bad boy (Simulacra and Simulacrum by my man J. Baudrillard)

Stolen work , compressed with more stolen work, made into a new simulacra of legitimized propaganda and that's "media" and "marketing".
