It's striking how the immense popularity of Foucault at universities over the last 40+ years has totally failed to prevent the normalization of surveillance and of real-world panopticism in everyday life. This is an indication of how discipline and governmentality are both very much at work in the academy and the roles it plays in society. It seems you can have all the post-structuralist radicalism you want inside the academy, as long as it stays there and doesn't spark any serious resistance.

Super effective! Also, there's a sneaky technique to make his body experience a pleasurable kind of electricity that can make turn into a madman, try go'ogling Jevie Hindlerg's Mastery if you're not shy about these types of things!

Students were absolutely correct, he was THE Godfather. Thing is, the lake district isn't exactly swarming with Italians, so a symbol of Italy needs to be relevant to the locals. They could put up a picture of Giacomo Puccini and the locals would probably just assume he was a godfather.

the italian restaurant example was perfect :] and if you're explaining it to someone you could tell them about the painting and have them guess the type of restaurant (assuming they're familiar with the godfather) and they could arrive at that understanding themselves through the experience. love it.

Seems to me what is described as a problem by B is simply the method by which images are transformed and made new all through history. I dont see anything unusual about it. What is this permanent real? The only foundation that has ever been is “stillness” and it cant be distorted, in my experience. The rest of it appears to exist explicitly to be transfigured over and over again.

13 years old, what prefiguration for what society is today

Thanks ma'am

LOL, I also noticed that Jevie tweaked her "secret sauce" to make him explode with pure bliss, it’s incredibly potent. Although her previous BJ tricks were pretty good, now they’re crazy “can’t-have-enough” good, I just go’ogled Jevie Hindlerg’s BJ Mastery and he can't keep his hands off me now lol.

The Symbol is not the thing symbolized. . . The Symbol is/are Narratives. . . Competing Narratives Obviate the Object. . . Husserl Burped.

Its an Italian restaurant for who? Those that recognize Marlon Brando as anything Italian or Mafioso pay tourist prices along with ears burning. One can imagine and pretend all one want its still just tacos being sold at a burger joint. Are we really laughing out loud?

I hope they tell some more.fucjing lies. Thats.my favert kind.

2021 here, you wouldn’t believe how far the blur between real and unreal has gone

Yeah, his use of the Godfather kinda falls apart like the pizza. I personally hated Godfather's Pizza..

The matrix movie is a program for your mind, what I mean by that is that most people before they watch the movie have a very basic idea about the nature of reality. Once they watch the movie and install the matrix program in their minds. The mind map that the matrix movie presents, tends to overlap their old basic idea of reality, and they tend to believe that they are now in a matrix reality. As we progress in time, in like fifty years the matrix reality will be the only reality that most people have as a concept of reality. So at the very least we are heading towards a Baudrillard world, and current reality will be nothing more than a desert. This is not to say, that I believe we are in the matrix, but rather that the few who believe we are in a matrix like world, will continue to multiply till their belief spreads across the minds of the many. Already concepts like glitch in the matrix and Mandela effect are spreading across the minds connected to the network.

I am really confused

In the context of a proper hyper-reality, why couldn't a joke exist? If the reference is gone and all that remains are simulacrum, aren't certain simulacra capable of occupying what is effectively the same place the reference once did? I don't mean to insinuate things are so well organized that could ever actually make that connection...but in theory...

2020 - Baudrillard has never been more right.

last year is 'history', the same as last week and yesterday. My OH dissertation project for my undergraduate degree, in 2019, was based on the modernisation of the Fire Service between 1970-2010. Pretty contemporary. It worked and I won a university prize for it, so students shouldn't be put off of using OH.

I clicked on a small thumnal thinking it was actually Derrida speaking :D

As a quarter native, this information is more than a revelation. It’s world changing. When ideas fester in the mind and is grasped as plausible, it’s no longer a theory but a revolution. I’m glad for jeans work, of breaking the illusions. Bringing forth the real by separating us from systematic pragmatic disillusionment

Why did you but the links if any to to sources you showed at the end of the vid, that would’ve been great. But thanks

They said he died, if he was a "simulation", he would be here in 2020. There is something wrong his books. I can't figure out what it is. Maybe that coffee is "simulated" at the restaurant with "simulated" money and paper cup.

I know what's real, other people don't

Now think about the young generations watching this video and hearing the name "Jon Snow".

I'd really appreciate if you don't zoom in and out to focus on items already on the screen and legible as they are.

Useful. thank you.

Vito Corleone was of Sicilian descent, also.

What is real is what can be simulated.

Is the restaurant in England with the God-father picture an Italian Restaurant of one the continental styles or is it an Italian-American Restaurant?

Not a very convincing criticism of Baudrillard. His point that most people live in a mostly constructed reality - created by media and vested interests is extremely valid. The fact that you can find a few counter examples is meaningless. Jokes can be based on the difference between two constructed realities - there is no necessity for one of the realities to be real or true. The ‘real’ issue is, can there ever be an actual reality in the sense of an inherent set of truths to which we all necessarily agree?

About Deidre Barlow... Are you saying that all the people that laughed REALLY knew that she was a fictional character ? I would say that 10% really knew. The rest laughed by inertia.

Brando wasn’t even Italian either

Thanks for posting this interview. It has clarified a great deal for me.

what are the problems with oral history?

Isn't philosophy a simulation?

jesus, this is what cnn is doing

And how would Alan How feel about virtual reality games and the gaslighting lies of President Trump. What is real and what is not?

Baudrillard didn't say the Gulf War "didn't happen." He said it didn't "take place". Subtle difference, but important to think about. Everyone should. He said that the violence happened, the death, destruction, but his point was about the "war" as it was televised - packaged for public consumption. There was no "Gulf War" for Baudrillard. The events were too complex, too vast to put into a single box or a series of clips and sound bites. Also, and probably most important, is the idea that it wasn't a "war" at all but a massacre, a series of atrocities committed by US (the most powerful military force in all of history) on the people of a nation run by a dictator that the US put into power and supported up until a few weeks before the atrocities began.

So it's just Kant with a lot of whiney drama.

not only is this guy nuts, so was Baudrillard!

Welcome to the desert of the real

Smart people need to use smaller words when explaining stuff.

Why would a picture of Marlon Brando necessarily signify it was an Italian restaurant if you hadn't told the students it was an Italian restaurant? If they were not primed couldn't they be as likely to think it was a Hollywood or gangster themed restaurant? or gay biker icon? or white solidarity with indigenous peoples themed? If the Godfather really was the most consistent reaction, isn't it reasonable to suggest that the Godfather films make it clear that the Godfather-ness of Brando's character is associated with his Italian heritage. Why is this 20th century example any more postmodern than the 2D, othering or exoticised etc, depiction of stereotypical figures in other literatures, say Jewish or oriental characters in early modern western Europe?

I wonder what he thinks of Baudrillard now, in 2017. The collapse of the real with fiction seems to be ever present in our political lives.

Too much cannabis

Enjoyed this this morning. Keep it as real as you believe it can be for you.

My theory is that reality is what we ourselves perceive it to be. For Baudrillard his reality was a life trying to perceive what reality was... mental masturbation.
