An Introduction

Dear John,

Jean Baudrillard spoke much of simulation and simulacra. This is wherein a real thing is reproduced, and then the reproductions are reproduced.

Please explain your life, who you are, and your viewpoint in the world in terms of this Baudrillard quote:

The simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth--it is the truth which conceals that there is none. The simulacrum is true.



Editorial Note: John, I notice you tend to favor long stream-of-consciousness style prose. For the sake of readability for our much loved readers, could you break up your writing into thoughtful paragraphs?


Hoping to hear back soon,

Matt
