Valley HR – Negative

The world is a simulation Baudrillard, 1985 (Jean, Professor of Philosophy of Culture and Media Criticism, Simulacra & Simulation, http://www.egs.edu/faculty/baudrillard/baudrillard-simulacra-and-simulation-01-the-precession-of-simulacra.html)

The simulacrum is never … submerging the principle of truth.

This world of simulation leads to a detachment with death. It turns our deaths into nothing more than a simulation. To lose a sense of our death is to lose the boundary that gives life what makes it great. Wilcox, 1991 (Leonard, Head of the Department of American Studies at the

University of Canterbury “Baudrillard, DeLillo's "White Noise," and the End of Heroic Narrative” Contemporary Literature, Vol. 32, No. 3. (Autumn, 1991), pp. 346-365, Project Muse)

Alternative is reversibility Baudrillard, 1985 (Jean, Professor of Philosophy of Culture and Media Criticism, Simulacra & Simulation, http://www.egs.edu/faculty/baudrillard/baudrillard-simulacra-and-simulation-18-on-nihilism.html)

Nihilism no longer wears the dark … This is where seduction begins.

Hyper reality makes our actions counterproductive.
