Baudrillard on how society functionsNederlandse versie: http://www.psychedelic.be/forum/showpost.php?p=905897&postcount=14
How do our so-called rational and programmed societies function? What puts the populations in motion, what moves them? Is it the progress of science, “objective” information, the increase of collective happiness, insight into the facts and causes, the punishment of those truly guilty or the quality of life? Absolutely not: no one is interested in that. What fascinates everyone is the debauchery of the signs, that reality is always and everywhere debauched by the signs. That is an interesting game – and it is played out in the media, in fashion, in advertisement – more generally in the spectacle of politics, of technology, of science, in any spectacle whatsoever, because the perversion of reality, the spectacular contortion of facts and representations, the triumph of simulation is as fascinating as a catastrophe –
