Are you our resident Husserl Scholar who tells his coworkers at KFC that he spent time in jail because admitting that you're half a million dollars in student-debt and the greatest Husserl scholar alive is too embarrassing since literally no one considers Husserl relevant and you are thus unable to find employment anywhere outside of fast food chains?

Baudrillard has ideas that are spot on but then has some that are fucking ridiculous. But when he's genuinely insightful, he is on point. That said, I don't think he is original as some people think he is. You can see a lot of what he says in the Frankfucks and the Situationists before him.

Could you please elaborate? I am seriously doubting whether it is a troll or a serious statement.

I think that the French were quite busy reinventing the 'values of values', if we for instance consider Foucault's relation to Nietzsche.
