Quotes About Reality

what if God himself can be simulated, that is to say can be reduced to the signs that constitute faith? Then the whole system becomes weightless, it is no longer itself anything but a gigantic simulacrum - not unreal, but a simulacrum, that is to say never exchanged for the real, but exchanged for itself, in an uninterrupted circuit without reference or circumference.

There is no self-portrait. It is the world which, through the image, produces its own self-portrait and we are allowed there only out of kindness (but the pleasure is shared). Conversely, every image should be looked at with the same intensity as our images in the mirror.

In dealing with the epidemic of visibility menacing our entire culture today, we must, as Nietzsche quite correctly said, cultivate mendacious and deceptive clear-sightedness.

Against the hypothesis of uncertainty: the illusion of truth and reality. Against the hypothesis of destiny: the illusion of freedom. Against the hypothesis of evil [Mal]: the illusion of misfortune [malheur]. Against the hypothesis of thought, the illusion of Artificial Intelligence. Against the hypothesis of the event: the illusion of information. Against the hypothesis of becoming: the illusion of change.

This is the true break, not a social fracture but a symbolic one: in the advent of an integral reality that absorbs all aspirations towards dreaming, surpassing or revolt. -The despair of having everything. -The despair of being nothing. -The despair of being everybody. -The despair of being nobody.

When some dream only of transforming the world, others, regarding it as having disappeared, dream only of obliterating its traces. The real considered as infantile disorder of the virtual. Thought considered as infantile disorder of artificial intelligence. The image considered as infantile disorder of representation.

Instead of dreams being the place where desires from real life are fulfilled, it would be the real that was the place where desires born of dreams would be fulfilled. Dreams would be a search engine. The Aborigines, for example, scorning biological paternity, give priority to begetting by dreams. Reality would gain by this in becoming much more mysterious and dreams would cease to be the dumping ground of the unconscious.

The shores run together, the waters are parallel. The waters run together, the shores are parallel. A single leaf rustles, the others are silent. Who knows how this dream ends? He was so thin, so translucent, that he had to pass through the same place twice to leave a shadow. Living out a destiny of convenience the way others sail under a flag of convenience.

Philosophy has never been anything but a disavowal of the reality principle. Up until now, it has been the business of philosophers. Today this unreality has entered into things. This then is the end of philosophy and the beginning of something else in which reality merges with its ironic refraction.

We dream of passing through ourselves and of finding ourselves in the beyond: the day when your holographic double will be there in space, eventually moving and talking, you will have realized this miracle. Of course, it will no longer be a dream, so its charm will be lost.

There is no point questioning reality when more than ten are present. Every audience of more than ten automatically turns defensive and reacts violently to any challenge to reality and manifest truth. No radical statement can be made to more than ten people.

Seen from a distant star, the monotony of current events takes on fantastic proportions.

There is no more evidence of the effectiveness of advertising than of the existence of God.

vivimos de la seducción, pero morimos de la fascinación

The problem of reference was already an almost insoluble one: how is it with the real? How is it with representation? But when, with the Virtual, the referent disappears, when it disappears into the technical programming of the image, when there is no longer the situation of the real world set over against a light-sensitive film (it is the same with language, which is like the sensitive film of ideas), then there is, ultimately, no possible representation any more.

However, we must not look on this domination of the Virtual as something inevitable. Above all, we must not take the Virtual for a 'reality' (definitely going too far!) and apply the categories of the real and the rational to it.(...)

It seems nothing can counteract the proliferation of this Artificial Intelligence based on the zero degree of thought. Nothing, that is, except this reversibility of intelligence and stupidity - the latter representing a renewed challenge to victorious intelligence. There is something here too like a revenge of evil. Something to which the tyranny of reality leads equally well - to appreciating any old form of madness and illusion.

Oysa tüm düÅŸleri elinden al?nm?? bir dünyaya gerçeklik egemen olabilir mi? Gerçeklikten ibaret bir dünya oluÅŸturmaya çal??t???m?z ölçüde elimiz aya??m?za dolaÅŸmakta ve bu gerçeklikten giderek uzaklaÅŸmaktay?z. GerçekleÅŸtiÄŸi an ortadan kaybolmaya baÅŸlayan bir gerçeklik evreni içinde ya??yoruz.

No difference between reality and the superstitious faith in reality. Preserving the real and preserving phenomena are leitmotivs of contemporary imbecility. Appearances, for their part, are always preserved.

We are real only by chance, and immortal without knowing it.

But when everything is repressed, nothing is anymore.

Ronald Reagan , struck down by Alzheimer's disease, has simply forgotten he was once President of the United States. Is this really so serious? When he was President he had already forgotten he had been an actor. And isn't it more serious to take yourself for the President of the United States when you are, than to forget you have been when you no longer are?

It is not the world as it should be which puts an end to the real world, but the world as it is.

SavaÅŸ ahlâk?yla yüce savaÅŸ "deÄŸerlerinden" söz edenler fazla üzülmesinler: Çünkü savaÅŸ bir simülakra benzediÄŸi zaman bile insana yeterince ac? çektirebilmekte ve sonuç olarak bu sava??n gazileri de diÄŸerleriyle ayn? düzeyde bir deÄŸere sahip olabilmektedirler.
