Decode - Jean Baudrillard: The Spirit of Terrorism

Jean Baudrillard, a French philosopher and sociologist, joins Cooper Cherry, Taylor Adkins, Cute Noumena, and Young Agamben to discuss his book 'The Spirit of Terrorism.' They explore topics such as the shift in terrorist tactics, the role of mass media in amplifying terrorism, the CIA's complicity in breeding terrorists, the connection between the master-slave dialectic and terrorism, the significance of death as freedom, the weakness of Western liberalism, the rise of irony and cynicism after 9/11, and the timing of significant events like 9/11 and the launch of Facebook.
