Tyler, Josh and Joel revive EBL for a discussion of Jean Baudrillard's 1983 text "Simulacra and Simulation". They discuss Baudrillard's insistence that symbols and signs in our contemporary society are no longer representing something, standing for something, or obscuring a reality underneath. Instead, reality is replaced by meaningless signs that make up our experience received through the media. All meaning becomes mutable. We discuss and at various times, critique Baudrillard.
