::: "Hyper Real President"

1993, Duke University lecture prediction theory of technology

!!!

“if Baudrillard is even onto something, what the postmodern trajectory means is that the self is not under siege, it’s lost. It’s just lost. And if that’s true then all of the strategies by which ordinary people try to live decent good lives are lost along with it. I am not necessarily going to buy that right away, I am really not (1993). I do think that the new, ah, technologies are going to call forth… I mean this is why the title of this course has been “The Self Under Siege”. If I didn’t think it was a real, virulent technological siege and just some thought up philosopher’s dream, which would not have interested me. I mean, I have no interest in that.”

"The Hyper Real President of the United States of America"

Thursday February 6, 2025

/\

The February 6, 2025 White House is now more influential than The Kremlin and Saudi Arabia Mecca combined. Elon Musk + Donald Trump tag-team media superstars are now bigger than Mohammad, Jesus and Arnold Schwarzenegger combed in terms of household name, social power, charm.

We are living the biggest media ecology event in all human history and the entire population of the USA, as in 99.9% have entirely fallen into deep hate or deep love of this dynamic duo.

The social power of social media has surpassed all printed books, FM radio, OTA television.
