Baudrillard's Reality and Simulation

This chapter discusses Baudrillard's theories on reality and simulation, particularly in the context of capitalism and institutions like Disneyland. The conversation critiques his views on exchange and use value, suggesting that political reforms within capitalism may be inherently futile. Additionally, it explores the philosophical implications of simulacra, the manipulation of narratives, and the disenchantment of genuine human experiences in a data-driven world.
