Amnesia
8 09 2007Some people are completely forgotten. This is beyond normal death; this is close to total death. Total death would be if all memory and achievement and legacy were removed from the collective consciousness along with everything else about the person.
I think Baudrillard did something about what I called “total death”. I believe he called it “disappearance”.

Come on. Apart from the last a hundred years that is exactly what death was like for most of the population. Get over it, it’s the everyday differences you make to other peoples’ lives that matter the most.
I think you’re projecting your own dissatisfaction with this system onto me. I am quite pleased.
