One of life's primal situations; the game of hide and seek. Oh, the delicious thrill of hiding while the others come looking for you, the delicious terror of being discovered, but what panic when, after a long search, the others abandon you! You mustn't hide too well. You mustn't be too good at the game. The player must never be bigger than the game itself.
It's like making a joke which is so subtle that it goes unnoticed and you are reduced to explaining it.
Can we draw some other lesson from this?
There exists, between people in love, a kind of capital held by each. This is not just a stock of affects or pleasure, but also the possibility of playing double or quits with the share you hold in the other's heart. One of the strategies can be to sacrifice it at just the right moment and be the first to say: 'I'm not playing any more', since you then collect all the stakes.

Television knows no night. It is perpetual day. TV embodies our fear of the dark, of night, of the other side of things.

Perhaps our eyes are merely a blank film which is taken from us after our deaths to be developed elsewhere and screened as our life story in some infernal cinema or dispatched as microfilm into the sidereal void.
Jean BaudrillardIn the past, we had objects to believe in—objects of belief. These have disappeared. But we also had objects not to believe in, which is just as vital a function. Transitional objects, ironic ones, so to speak, objects of our indifference, …Ideologies played this role reasonably well. These, too, have disappeared. And we survive only by a reflex action of collective credulity, which consists not only in absorbing everything put about under the heading of news or information, but in believing in the principal and transcendence of information.
Jean BaudrillardIt is the simulacrum which ensures the continuity of the real today, the simulacrum which now conceals not the truth, but the fact that there isn’t any—that is to say, the continuity of the nothing... Well, that is paradise: we are beyond the Last Judgment, in immortality. The only problem is to survive there. For there the irony, the challenging, the anticipation, the maleficence come to an end, as inexorably as hope dies at the gates of hell. And it is indeed there that hell begins, the hell of the unconditional realization of all ideas, the hell of the real.
Jean BaudrillardI am a terrorist and nihilist in theory as the others are with their weapons. Theoretical violence, not truth, is the only resource left us.
Jean BaudrillardIt is a world completely rotten with wealth, power, senility, indifference, puritanism and mental hygiene, poverty and waste, technological futility and aimless violence, and yet I cannot help but feel it has about it something of the dawning of the universe. Perhaps because the entire world continues to dream of New York, even as New York dominates and exploits it.

pozitif olma durumunun aralıksız üretimi halinde, ürkütücü bir sonuç ortaya çıkmaktadır. çünkü eğer negatif olma durumu kriz ve eleştiriyi doğurursa, mutlak pozitiflik de, krizi damıtma yetisi olmadığından, felaketi doğurur. negatif ve eleştirel öğeleri denetim altında tutan, dışlayan, baştan savan her yapı, her sistem, her kitle, tam bir iç patlamaya maruz kalarak bir felaket tehlikesiyle karşı karşıya kalır. tıpkı her biyolojik bedenin, bünyesindeki bütün mikropları, basilleri, parazitleri, yani bütün düşmanlarını denetim altında tutarak ya da dışarı atarak, kanser tehlikesiyle, bir başka deyişle, kendi hücrelerini yiyip bitiren bir pozitivistlik tehlikesiyle karşı karşıya kalması gibi; biyolojik bünye de , aynen, artık işsiz kalan kendi antikorları tarafından yok edilme tehlikesiyle karşı karşıya kalır... Aslında, mikroplar olduğu sürece virüs yoktu. eski enfeksiyonlardan arınmış bir dünyada, "ideal" klinik bir dünyada, elle muayene edilemeyen, önlenemez bir patolojik durum ortaya çıkar, bizzat dezenfeksiyondan doğan bir patolojidir bu.
Jean BaudrillardTukenmeye baslayan bir politika dunyasiyla birlikte Cumhurbaskanlari, ilkel toplumlarda bir iktidar kuklasindan baska bir sey olmayan kabile seflerine benzemektedirler.
Jean BaudrillardBelli bir doneme ait filmler yeni bicimleriyle yeni bicimleriyle yeniden gundeme getirilmeye calisilmaktadir. Oysa bu iki film tipi arasindaki fark, gercek insanla ona benzeyen otomat arasindaki farki gibidir. | 75
