I just watch his lectures. Are they a sufficient substitute for reading this?

i read it in literally like 2 hours last week while also checking my phone and shit
it’s short as hell and decently insightful, though a solid 80% of it is just recycling Simulacra and Simulation into a more digestible form
all in all was worth a read i guess. if it was like 400 pages of that i’d say just skip it, but since it’s a one-sitting kind of read go for it.

If a book isn’t going to improve your standard of living— it’s not worth reading, anon.

This is unironically a very real problem and more broadly speaking the anomic lifestyle of all subculture being consumable and interchangeable has made this site decline as well, now populated by marauding bands of identity-performative tourists
