When I see a word I'm not familiar with I look it up. Recently, the word was simulcra. It was more of a word than I expected and it took some time to get my head around it and comprehend its meaning. It really explains the matrix we're in and how we're manipulated day in and day through media. We live in a illusion which has replaced reality - simulcra. Jean Baudrillard explains simulcra:

Someone posted a video of Baudrillard speaking on the topic. It took me a few moments of adjusting to his English but I managed it. The Murder of the Real http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOIjI2gFizM&feature=player_embedded |
