I found this article worthless, pretentiously worthless at that (WMDs? Really?). Stories augment the human experience of reality, as do social constructs, as does language, but I am too dumb to understand why that's news. What is the point he is trying to argue?

I think as we go along, a lot of Baudrilliard's ideas that seemed radical in the 1980s are becoming inert, as they are so ingrained in our everyday experience (eg, hyper-reality, the simulacra, etc). At least in this iteration of the te…

Sadly, I would still read and think on all three of those articles.
