Is Baudrillard still applicable today?

We understand the way an instant myth-ification on everything that surrounds us could be taken as reality. Symbols devoid of their original meaning, metaphors interpreted as solid robust terms and hiper-realised by media, politics and economic models.

When the stakes of reality no longer apply and concepts acquire a futile concrete sense then, the possibility of exploring myth in metaphor devoid of reality is defied. By making everything real we face hiper-reality

(//personal excerpt// understood under the spirit of ‘Simulacra and Simulacrum’ by Jean Baudrillard)
