Simulation response
Simulations entry, 04/07/20
Reading the start of simulations was initially a challenge consisting of a lot of google/definition searches. Being a French philosopher his vocabulary is quite Meticulous along with his philosophies. In a nutshell he believes everything is fake. He believes this for the fact that nothing is original, all representations, images, stories, songs, etc are based off one before it. He uses the example of the empire and how their map of their territory was so precise in scale and detail that it can be mistaken as the actual empire. Now how can a map on a pice of cloth or what have you become the great empire it’s designed after? It makes a little more sense when you think about the evolution of maps, in our case we have GPS apps on our phone that we rely on everyday to get us from place to place and we treat this little world on our phone where we’ re represented by the shape of an arrow as the real world.

I'm right there with you, I definitely made many google searches. I had to think about the map example. In today's world I would argue that the map comes first then the territory.
ReplyDeletethis reminds me that when I was reading I felt a similarity between this book and the media is the massage. They all made people think whether something is "the thing" we thought it is. The contents are not point but it is all about the media, and the thing we thought is real can just be another simulation.
