View submission: Was Jean Baudrillard just a parasite?
Once you’re accustomed to his purposeful flashy writing and his polemical style— he’s probably the best theorist of his generation and increasingly relevant today. He’s a poet. I can understand why some would be turned off by him, but he thought of the world in a way no one else had before him. Also it’s not true that no one talks about him— at least my anecdotal experience says otherwise.

I’m with you on that, in certain circles of niche podcasts and substacks from outsider thinkers on X he’s extremely relevant
