Simulacra and simulation

Jean Baudrillard

In this 1981 philosophical treatise, Jean Baudrillard explores the relationships between reality, symbols, and society. He introduces the concept of simulacra, which are copies without an original, and discusses how these simulacra and simulations have replaced all reality and meaning with symbols and signs. Baudrillard argues that current society is saturated with these constructs, leading to a phenomenon he calls the 'precession of simulacra,' where the simulated copy supersedes the original object and meaning becomes infinitely mutable.

Dianetics

The Modern Science of Mental Health

L Ron Hubbard

Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, written by L. Ron Hubbard, presents a pseudoscientific system aimed at treating mental and physical health issues.

The reactive mind, according to Hubbard, stores traumatic memories called 'engrams' which cause aberrations and various health problems. The book describes 'Dianetic auditing' as a method to eliminate these engrams, leading to a state called 'Clear', characterized by superior IQ, moral purity, and improved mental and physical health. Despite its claims, Dianetics has been widely criticized by scientists and medical professionals for lacking scientific evidence and being pseudoscientific[1][2][4].
