The Transparency of Communication

Baudrillard: Man's relationship to objects becomes subject to a social dialectic, which is basically that of the forces of production. We have foreclosed what may have been considered the natural side of the human in favor of the human's betterment as a controller over objects. The system of objects may be likened to the simulacrum of humans; they become intertwined with one another and are subservient or subservient to each other. It is not as though humans keep their full capacity away from those who dominate them - it is just that we don't know this yet.
