What's there to discuss?
I observe, I accept, I assume the immense process of the destruction of appearances (and of the seduction of appearances) in the service of meaning (representation, history, criticism, etc). That is the fundamental fact of the 19th century.
I observe, I accept, I assume, I analyze the second revolution, that of the 20h century, that of postmodernity, which is the immense process of the destruction of meaning, equal to the earlier process of appearances. He who strikes with meaning is killed by meaning.
The dialectic stage, the critical stage is empty. There is no more stage. There is no therapy of meaning or therapy through meaning: therapy itself is part of the generalized process of indifferentation.
One must be conscious that, no matter how the analysis proceeds, it proceeds toward the freezing over of meaning, it assists in the precession of simulacra and of indifferent forms.
The desert grows.
From: 'On Nihilismn' - Jean Baudrillard in Simulacra and Simulation

there is a difference between postmodernism and post-post modernism....post-post puts meaning back and establishes it firmly in the world, in the way we apprehend the world...all it does is get rid of the mind set of the primative, which some schools of philosophy have refined - but, nevertheless it is still primative!

It's like saying there's a difference between postmortem and post-postmortem. Might be of interest for a dead man.zarathustra wrote:there is a difference between postmodernism and post-post modernism....
Sound like a postmodern attempt to reach back and include Romanticism in its slow fade. So greedy. The desert grows.post-post puts meaning back and establishes it firmly in the world, in the way we apprehend the world...all it does is get rid of the mind set of the primative, which some schools of philosophy have refined - but, nevertheless it is still primative!
