Rick Roderick on Baudrillard - Fatal Strategies [𝕍 𝕒 𝕡 𝕠 𝕣 𝕨 𝕒 𝕧 𝕖 𝑅𝑒𝒹𝓊𝓍] (2/3)

While researching Baudrillard, I discovered Rick Roderick, the proto-Žižek, who had filmed the lecture series, "The Self Under Siege: Philosophy in the 20th Century" way back in 1993.
His last lecture in that series, "Fatal Strategies," is a great crash course on Jean Baudrillard's concepts of 'The Real,' Hyperreality, and Simulation. I figured if anything deserves a vaporwave / retrowave / a e s t h e t i c remix, it's this guy!
Plus it's always fun to see how much more pronounced and dire the warnings of the past - even of just the recent past - are today.

While the views, analytical perspectives and reasonings, conclusions and proposed courses of action within this video do not Necessarily constitute or wholly represent the beliefs and/or positions of Unism or its adherents per se, we whole-heartedly assert that understanding the video's philosophical insights into our modern world constitutes a crucial step towards (re)gaining one's sense of self, and, thereby, towards developing an actionable plan for transforming civilization, and righting its inevitable apocalyptic trajectory - should we dare commit ourselves to doing so.
