Pleasure allows the real to pass into the hyperreal, trapping us in the simulation like ants drowning in honey.
To exit the simulation, free yourself from simulated pleasures. Find real ones.
The ideal of control is transparency. This is why they track every single thing you do on the Internet. This is the panopticon, the all-seeing eye 👁
The function of bringing death to power has always been fulfilled by demented people who nonetheless carry out a fundamental social function.
Power is more often faked than exerted. Fake power, if acknowledged by its victims, has real effects. Yielding to fake power makes that power REAL. Power is ultimately a simulation. By playing the game we let the game eclipse reality.
Beaudrillard
I found Beaudrillard early
recognizing the real
the hyperreal
understanding
quite
that what we have
here in the matrix
is but a representation
purring politicians
paying taxpayer pennies
for make up
lessons in how to
appear honest
make the right hand gestures
on tv
that simulacrum
of relationships
masquerading as love
for the many
