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.
Yeah I’m gonna read Fisher’s book. I’ve watched a couple of his lectures on YouTube. I don’t really have the mental bandwidth outside work to get really into nitty gritty philosophy. But stuff that’s digestible and helps me contextualize this twilight zone timeline we’re in is nice. I don’t know what good it does to go down the rabbit hole when the vast majority of people aren’t joining you.
