baudrillard says that we have created a world where everything is a representation of something else, but our representations have taken on a life of their own to the point where we have no memory of the original. i wonder when we'll finally be so overwhelmed by our war & chaos & terror & crisis that we'll stop studying history altogether. i think we already place more importance on consensus than we do on truth. i remember when they changed the taste of coke, then supposedly changed it back & called it coca-cola classic. my mom had stockpiled some coke, so we had that to drink & knew that coca-cola classic was not the original taste. now of course it's been so long that i have no memory of what the original taste was.
