Baudrillard/Future/Truth/Meaning/Real
From “Baudrillard in the 21st Century (and after)” by Dr. Gerry Coulter: IV. Is Poststructuralism Forever?

Thus, today, the Hollow Earth Society presents… History of the Grecian Urn Abridged Ut urna poesis. *** Severe contemplators, observing these lasting relicks, [...]
The Question Of New Media 2: Commodity And The Individual
II. Commodity and the individual My man, philosopher Alain Badiou, is profoundly worried on just this point: In an age of “Enlightened,” progressive, inclusive thinking, do we not simply turn each person into a new potential very special respected market? Do we not say, if you are a sectarian with group X—any group—that we can now sell you [...]
Is Our Society “Secret?”
No. But it may be obscure. “Obscure” means “covered over,” as in scutum (shield), and sky. Something is there, but you can’t see it. It implies darkness, indistinctness. Yet it is not ambiguous, vague, invisible, necessarily malicious, or even secret. A seditious secret implies betrayal; something obscure can be merely not-known, or not-seen. The best [...]
