Jean Baudrillard
“We are faced, ultimately, with two irreconcilable hypotheses: that of the extermination of all the world's illusion by technology and the virtual, or that of an ironic destiny of all science and all knowledge in which the world -- and the illusion of the world -- would survive. The hypothesis of a `transcendental' irony of technology being by definition unverifiable, we have to hold to these two irreconcilable and simultaneously `true' perspectives. There is nothing which allows us to decide between them. As Wittgenstein says: `The world is everything which is the case'.”
Jean Baudrillard, The Perfect Crime
