This opens up extraordinary possibilities, but at the same time we face the test of a tearing-up of the being, with awkward consequences. We can rejoice in these new opportunities if and only if we also are conscious of their dangers. Your friend Baudrillard however, simply negates the existence of reality in our society, which has entered the realm of simulation. First, against the opinion of Baudrillard, I have to say that reality never vanishes. It constantly changes.
Reality is the outcome of a pre-determined epoch, science, or technique.
Reality must be re-invented, always. Take for instance the alteration of our reality through the mass media. I have to take a detour through physics here, and this is one of the differences between and Baudrillard and myself. Matter has now become truly three-dimensional. This is a clear break.
