Dude you are so incredible for doing all of this, i'm currently going through Baudrillard and your series is so helpful. You've just earned a patron (as soon as i find a job since i'm currently looking for one lol)

Oh my goodness--take care of yourself first. I only want people who feel comfortable donating so that I can keep making them for everyone :)

Have started with your Baudrillard series and enjoying it immensely. Looking forward to all of these wonderful discussions

I am so grateful for these, I find reading, writing and understanding difficult. ButI love learning and sharing knowledge. even the readings of philosophical text is good, explaining it to a point is wonderful.

That bit at the start where you list what the channel will be about and list like ten things, I feel like a classic Slavov Zizek style "and so on and so on" fits in there

This is so approachable. Awesome.

This is really interesting and informative, thank you!! I’ve never been interested in philosophy before but Jean Baudrillard is really drawing me in!! Loved the video!

Fantastic. Thanks, brother.

Thank you soooo much for this. I'm a huge Baudrillard fan and am always trying to understand in a total sense. I've started with his later work and moved backwards. I definitely encourage your work and would interested in your thoughts connecting his work with more contemporary movements like object oriented ontology and afro-pessomism.

Yes while there certainly are things to be said about both of those fields, I haven't tried to locate Baudrillard in either of them. My understanding of Afro-Pessimism would be through Frank Wilderson and, as far as I know, he doesn't take up Baudrillard at any point. I tend to tread carefully when applying Baudrillard's work to approaches that deal with critical race studies because Baudrillard is very problematic in that domain (i.e. the location of a certain exoticism in minority populations in the United States in "America"). With that being said, there have been thinkers in that field that have taken up Baudrillard's work in meaningful ways. For instance, bell hooks, and Gerald Vizenor, to just name a couple. I'd be interested to know what you think though! Cheers

This is magnificent.

Thank you

Be sure to check out the whole Baudrillard playlist that covers (pretty much) each of his books!

"Communicate without challenging" So many miss this important perspective. They import a deeply internalized tendency towards moralizing (be it left, right, and anywhere within those socio-political co-ordinates), and thus sabotage any possibility of a more insightful and enlightened (a loaded term, but to be taken in the common, vernacular sense) reading and interpretation of Baudrillard. I would want to challenge any reference to the "given" as a reference to a *myth*

what a neat observation. why the fuck is that, though? What aspects of moralization are most played upon? Was there intent behind training the population to be this way? Comment on the intent.

I agree with you statement in THEORY. It is important to be as pure you can be with your point without polluting your argument with subjective bias which allows you to be easily made a victim of fake news (trusting your news for most is more about who you TRUST). However, we are people and not machines, so it is important to just be more aware of your own bias, more than just shut it out completely. Also, bias on the side of the one being communicated to (the listener) is also an issue. Someone saying "purple" and the listener hearing "green" because of some inherent bias or fluke in their personality or whatever. Anyway... not really trying to argue anything, just trying to make a point that its damn near impossible to completely remove bias in your thinking.

there's an evident influence by Luksemburg's writings on Braudrillard in the matter of the inversed precedence within the means of production

I came for the philosophy and stayed for the curtain rods.

If I'm trying to get into Baudrillard, should I start here or the consumer society? I read the first section of this and it was just... not that intriguing going over categorization XD

I suppose when he Baidrillard talks about ‘credit,’ he is speaking with reference personal finance rather than capital projects financing; i.e. since he is speaking about it with respect to its relation to consumer society rather than the means of production.

Commercial breaks are killing this.

Where Was that put in Image, finaly......

I just realized that you don’t have this one on the Apple podcast list, as a matter of fact... is it possible to upload all the Baudrillard onto Apple podcast, pretty please?🥺 🙏

That's weird--it should be there. Until then, just follow the link in the description to podbean and you can download it there :)

Baudrillard was right. There wasn't a shot fired in the Cold War.

The labour theory of value isn't really applied to consumption, but to production. Labour value is immaterial to the buyer, but to the producer it's critical in creating prices. Whether the consumer sees symbolic, subjective value in a product is immaterial. The point is, the product was made with labour. Labour that dictates exchange value. Consumption didn't really figure in Marx's theories, so I don't know where Baudrillard was coming from with his consumer driven critique of labour value. From the capitalist point of view, subjective value is only a means to exploit labour, or to negate labour as to accrue profit. Labour costs critical to value of a product for the capitalist, if not the consumer. Even if demand for a product is high, if it can't generate surplus labour, it'll be considered worthless by the capitalist and won't go into production. For instance, most people would like a portrait painted of themselves, however, labour costs would be too expensive to ever turn a profit, so no matter how valuable to the consumer, it's a worthless product to the producer.

All in the arcades project ...

I can’t get no satisfaction. When i’m driving in my car, and a man comes on the radio 📻 He’s telling me more and more about some useless information, supposed to fire my imagination. When i’m watching my TV and a man comes on to tell me how white my shirts can be, or, he can’t be a man coz he does not smoke the same cigarettes as me 🚬 I can’t get no. no no no. hey hey hey, that’s what i say.
