Simulacra_and_Simulation


In Baudrillard’s “Simulacra and Simulation”, many topics are discussed in this reading.

As I began to read the text, it seemed to regurgitate the same wordy phrases over and over again. It speaks of truth and lies along with God and the army. The first couple of pages were quite confusing yet alone a mouthful. My response to this reading is very different from my other responses.

It seems to reference some bigger idea that the text does not clearly explain. Specifically, it seems as if it is a code for some reason. There does not seem to be a specific audience because the reading is constantly jumping from one subject to another without keeping an organized flow of ideas and executions.

In the end it speaks of simultaneous energies exploding on some impact because of the growth of power and energy reacting among itself. Conjoining forces reacting among each other to produce something far greater in potential and power that what is actually known about a specific subject.

Basically, we are all going to blow up someday, just how many more way can we talk about the apocolypse.
