    Postmodernity is said to be a culture of fragmentary sensations, eclectic nostalgia, disposable simulacra, and promiscuous superficiality, in which the traditionally valued qualities of depth, coherence, meaning, originality, and authenticity are evacuated or dissolved amid the random swirl of empty signals. -- Baudrillard

    I really enjoyed reading this. It's not often you stumble upon long form somewhat stream of conscious writing thats this personal without it also feeling overly navel gazey. This had a nice balance between travel log and personal reflections.

    I found this thought provoking. What happens to society with no more shared culture? Or is that silly because there is still so much we have in common (health, school, grocery shopping, being part of a family, etc)?
