Hmm I think I am agreeing with you on the preconditions; I did say that the system, through literacy has sowed the seeds of its own destruction. But it seems like we're on a path that makes this less and less likely, whereas the introduction of technology and so forth should have done the opposite, were we not "ethically bankrupt" as a species. Baudrillard can be said to have identified the problems. and that more than makes up for his defeatism. The rest of your reply is basically, now that we dont have salt mines worked by kids, everything is awesome and you cant complain. If you really do recognize that we have the systemic problems I was talking about, perhaps we actually agree and I'm only saying things arent getting better fast enough. Which is a real danger. There's only so much resources one can devote to not being a complete tool, and these are running down, quickly.
