Salir de la ideología hace daño, es una experiencia dolorosa. Debes forzarte a hacerlo [...] Puede parecer irracional... ¿por qué este tipo [John Armitage] rechaza tan violentamente ponerse las gafas? Es como si estuviera al tanto de vivir naturalmente en una mentira, que las gafas le harán ver la verdad, pero que esta verdad puede ser dolorosa, puede destrozar muchas de sus ilusiones. Esta es una paradoja que tenemos que aceptar. La extrema violencia de la liberación, debes ser forzado para ser libre. Si confías simplemente en tu espontáneo sentido del bienestar o lo que sea, nunca conseguirás liberarte [...] La libertad duele.

It is quite clear to me that Baudrillard has totally lost faith in the social. To me, this is sheer nihilism. I have not at all lost faith in the social. First of all, I believe that the social eludes the so-called social sciences, and always has -that's why I'm not a sociologist!- So I am disappointed, and very much so, about politics, but I am not disappointed by the social. You need only to go into the streets, and meet the poor: they're extraordinary, superior people. The social drama leaves the stunts of the political class far behind. The power and resilience of individual people in the streets puts the intelligence of today's political leaders to shame. And as far as the social scientists are concerned, the less is said the better!

I keep finding the name Armitage in the reading for "History of Brazil" while studying for my finals. Yeah. It's not helping me.
