anyone here like baudrillard
clouscard ftw
@nagarjuna baudrillard is based
damn dude glad to hear it. clouscard seems legit you just pointed him out to me
I'd recommend reading *The Capitalism of Seduction* if you haven't, it's his one work of note
A critique of the neoliberal system born from Mai 68
that's pretty chill dude, as you know JB wrote about seduction
sounds like there is an OG here
this is a nice little intro
oh cool. can you find TCoS online? I had trouble
Idk
It's in 2 volumes
word. oh wow
ok i found it
but
do you understand french
hahaha
no sir
rip
clouscard is really not known at all
There might be an english translation, but a free pdf is pushing it
word ill check the libraries
cheers
five sure. also check out comments on society of the spectacle if you haven't yet I love that one
Situationism feels a lot like intellectual jerk-off to me
And it also contributed to the conversion of pre-1970s capitalism into global liberalism
thats definitely not wrong, but I think the comments are way better than the original book
and from the original, I love the phrase on page one: "the liar has lied to himself" very strong image to me
I like to compare it to descartes evil demon, and i think-> instead of thinking the demon is tricking you, what if you are the demon, tricking yourself?
I love this idea so much
Well, actually, I found an article Clouscard wrote on Baudrillard
French though
Je mappele gay
Wait no
@nagarjuna Even if that article is mostly yet another critique of Baudrillard
@DOLBATIC that looks awesome I'm just an insufferable JB sycophant because I haven't read more haha. His writing is super contradictory so the parts I like are contradicted by other parts haha. My aim isn't to rep him so much as bring him up because that's where my thoughts are, wanna move forward
I see JB kind of in the skeptical tradition, which I really enjoy. The problem of how to apply skepticism politically is the huge problem but one I want to confront
