>implying Baudrillard doesn't look cool as fuck regardless of what he's doing.
The fact that you think you exist outside of the numbers I pointed out is top-tier.

>mind will eventually be freed
Kek technology is what damned us, but even if it frees us, free for what? Name one liberation that isn't turned into rampant consumerism, where freedom leads to any other destination than sitting surrounded by objects with no value, information with no meaning.

One of the side effects of all liberations, be they gender, sexual, or the 40-hour work week, is that they force you to have to define yourself. The concept of identity is thoroughly modern, but

Is completely right. Being held hostage, and taking hostage is the new form of the social. You can't really rebel any longer. Any actual rebellion would lead to your removal from interacting with society. Try not using social media for a month, of any sort. Try not watching TV. You're held hostage by our world, in order for it to force you to exist within it. Try telling people you want to be alone, or that you don't have the same desires as them. Held hostage until the end.

Even if they believed they weren't being commodified, they still were. The second something exists as a result of our consumptive lives, and within them, it's dismantled and spun about until it's consumable. It's not normies, or corporations, it's an inevitability of our use of technology.

Awesome. I try to avoid reading on a screen, it just doesn't work for me the way paper does. Check out Impossible Exchange and Transparency of Evil, those are my favorites you don't have. I figure once I get all his published works the automatic writing of the world will be complete.

This is now a Baudrillard thread. I love his constant fucking attacks on things like rationality, technology culture, the reality principle, and objectivity. Dude's so fucking based.

Can't stop reading him bros, he's always fucking right. Massively entertaining style too

Is it though? Positing the non-questionability of any advice is a justification for blind submission to ideology. "I failed so it's my fault" vs "I failed so I need a better method". The first cause is the triumph of the object over the subject, slipping around you until you exist for it. Cuck.

Kind of but not really. A big part of Baudrillard's style is to replicate the vertiginous effects of what he's talking about via his prose. He's a polemicist. If you want to give Baudrillard another shot, the youtube channel Plastic Pills has some good Baudrillard content. The other thing is that most of his works build heavily off all the others. You hopped into his mid-period, but it was in his earlier works that his inaccessible terminology is laid out and explained.
