I know that. Baudrillard was fucking magnificent. He was vastly more interesting than me. In terms of philosophers to read for pleasure, he's right up there at the top. Jean Baudrillard belongs to a long line of French arch-commentators on human vanity. He is a fucking deity when it comes to criticism.

Let me tell you why I'm here. I don't post here because I think I'm so interesting or smart. Perhaps it seems that way. I'll take responsibility for that. I do it partly because I want to get Blowed Up Real Good. I don't want to be right, I want to have a cool and mutually interesting engagement with ideas. That's the honest truth. It doesn't happen at work for me.

All I can tell you is that I enjoy thinking and talking about ideas. Sometimes a cool conversation takes place. Sometimes not. Sometimes I learn something. Sometimes I get told I sound like an obnoxious cunt. I actually don't even mind. I *am* an obnoxious cunt.

But you know what? It's all valuable. I'm just as happy either way. In the end, it all helps you become a better thinker so that you don't sink to the floor of the ocean.

>this is true. fortunately, there does seem to be wi-fi down here
>so, shitposting yourself up from the abyss?
>yeah, pretty much
