Postmodernism is Good Actually: Jean Baudrillards Philosophy | Plastic Pills PlasticPills 2023-04-12 | This video is a companion piece to my Society of the Spectacle video (youtu.be/0blWjssVoUQ) and I wrote it by putting three different chapters of 80s Baudrillard into a blender: "Ecstasy of Communication" from Ecstasy of Communication (amzn.to/3KgBzui), "Ironic Strategies" from Fatal Strategies (amzn.to/3usNspr) and "The Implosion of Meaning in the Media" from Simulacra and Simulation (amzn.to/3KarO0F). They figure as a challenge to humanist social theory, including the Marxist humanism espoused by Guy Debord.
