Carles' Satirical Commentary on the Manufacturing of Tween Sensations
“The tweenosphere is one of the most interesting cultural spheres because the intellectual upperclass gets to witness horrible products/manufactured human beings being branded + marketed + sold to long tail tweens who would trade anything for a taste of ‘fame’ a.k.a. virality. I sorta wonder if watching all of these tweens broadcast their feelings on twitter, their vlogs on youtube, and their self-pix on dailybooth provide the ultimate ‘birth control.’ The fear of bringing a brain dead, lamestreamer, consumer-wave tween into this world, and sort of having to ‘let them consume tween products’ so that they can fit in at school. Just because our parents did it for us doesn’t mean we have to extend the courtesy to our spawn.”
…God himself was never anything but his own simulacrum…
“…they predicted this omnipotence of simulacrum, the faculty simulacra have of effacing God from the conscience of man, and the destructive, annihilating truth that they allow to appear - that deep down God never existed, that only the simulacrum ever existed, even that God himself was never anything but his own simulacrum… The simulacrum is never what hides the truth - it is truth that hides the fact that there is none. The simulacrum is true.” - Jean Baudrillard, Simulacra and Simulation; pp 1, 4. 1981.
