Don’t the characteristics associated with Artificial Intelligence (gets better as it goes, the more data and interactions the more effective the abilities) apply to Baudrillard’s simulation ...the further it goes the more encompassing it gets?
I would certainly wage it does Sherman. That seems to be what led to the progression through the orders of simulacra to simulation itself so it makes sense that the simulation would only be growing more labyrnthine and self-enfolding
That would mean any efforts to comprehend or observe the simulation just provides more aspects, data and energy for the simulation to remain incomprehensible and unobserved. I had read Foucault as part of graduate school, but not Baudrillard (I was an amateur 2nd half of life anthropology major not philosophy). I have been introduced to an idea that is pretty unsettling, thank you.
Very interesting to hear that the inspiration for The Matrix didn't think they understood what he was saying. It raises some interesting questions about the value of the movie itself. However I think you've made a compelling case for why he misunderstood things.
