- A French intellectual--in the worst sense of the term Jean Baudrillard could make any subject more obscure just by briefly visiting it Robert Fulford National Post As much as any thinker of his time, Jean Baudrillard was willing to drive an idea off the cliff of reason and fall with it into the river below -- and all just to prove he could do it. He was a comedian of ideas, an intellectual who deserved a place in show business. Given him his due:He pulled it off. It seems to be my day for this sort of thing. The commentator is thanked for giving a good summary of Baudrillard though, but basically misses the point from a bias of anti-intellectualism. thank you oliviab for the link.

- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Baudrillard a man ahead of his time? A politician or bureaucrat's wet dream? Jean Baudrillard, who died on Tuesday in Paris at the age of 77, was a French intellectual in the most sinister meaning of that term. He was intoxicated by hastily concocted theories and drunk on incomprehensible explanations of world affairs. He could make any subject more obscure just by briefly visiting it.
