Name-dropping Baudrillard based on Youtube videos is real rich... in irony.

  In case you didn’t notice the parent comment specifically said Baudrillards writing was hard to follow. This channel is run by a philosophy PhD who explains his work. You think he’s misrepresenting baudrillards work I’m guessing?

    It's just funny; philosophy YouTube is a simulacrum in its own right. On a different note, I don't think Baudrillard is worth reading in 2025. I would rather recommend Mark Fisher, but then again it's all gravy, baby. To call all this pop literature "philosophy," especially post-Wittgenstein is a bit silly after all.

      Yeah I’m gonna read Fisher’s book. I’ve watched a couple of his lectures on YouTube. I don’t really have the mental bandwidth outside work to get really into nitty gritty philosophy. But stuff that’s digestible and helps me contextualize this twilight zone timeline we’re in is nice. I don’t know what good it does to go down the rabbit hole when the vast majority of people aren’t joining you.
