I would actually recommend the YouTube channel Plastic Pills. This is a great video to start with: https://youtu.be/S96e6TdJlNE?si=gSVzXyyBq7t_q0Xp

Name-dropping Baudrillard based on Youtube videos is real rich... in irony.

  • In case you didn’t notice the parent comment specifically said Baudrillards writing was hard to follow. This channel is run by a philosophy PhD who explains his work. You think he’s misrepresenting baudrillards work I’m guessing?

    • It's just funny; philosophy YouTube is a simulacrum in its own right. On a different note, I don't think Baudrillard is worth reading in 2025. I would rather recommend Mark Fisher, but then again it's all gravy, baby. To call all this pop literature "philosophy," especially post-Wittgenstein is a bit silly after all.
