good luck reading that drivel. you're smart to save your money. Debord's "Society of the Spectacle" is still off, but is at least intelligible.

Understanding Plato's theory of forms helps with thinking about stuff like this. When you think about it, modern mass media are just mechanized sophists. Josef Pieper's "Abuse of Language -- Abuse of Power" and James Lindsay's "Psychopathy and the Origins of Totalitarianism" are both good reads too. Both are online somewhere.

i'm pretty glued to the modern thinkers like bifo mark fisher nick land etc but i'm trying to create courage to read the essentials

I was the very same way until recently. It was actually Baudrillard and Debord that made realize how imperative it was for me to go back. Once you understand the tradition that our modern thinkers inherited, you can get so much more out of them.

I found it utterly incomprehensible.

yeah. i think i'm a "bad reader", i can understand the peaks but mostly i just miss everything. english is not my native language, i understand everything but it's pretty hard to trully get the essence from it. do you think understanding context will upgrade this?

he uses a lot of marxist concepts and terminology like when discussing commodity. its easier to understand if you have a little background in that

If Debord was inaccessible to you, but Baudrillard made sense, you're lying
>>17397132
It's not just that context will help you, but that modern philosophy already places itself within a universal context. Think about every reference in a Berardi or Baudrillard work that was also an introduction. More often than not, the modern man deploys his idea to complement the lineage of past ideas. Rarely does one deploy something entirely new. People have been asking the essential questions of life for a long time, long before Plato and Socrates even. Find a translation of The Republic in your mother tongue, and anything else you can find. At least for as much as mankind still remembers, Plato is where our tradition begins.
