ernst jünger in cyberspace

mailing list archive - Re: Oligophrenia

EJ is a remarkable describer. However his scheme is often the same. An
emerging materialist class, agents of the titans which tends to take the
place of the aristocratic and religious class, supposed representative of
the gods. EJ was a close witness of the total anihilation (not a game) of
the last elements of the system built by Frederic le Grand (BG an enlighted
despote who buys works of Leonard for have a cultural image ? Frederic had
its own IBM named Elisabeth of Russia who invaded Berlin but finaly F.
won). So, following EJ, the titans came and a new mass era (M. Biddiss)
began and will continue in the XXI st century. Retiring in a wood is
possible for some evoluated independant persons, in fact only for EJ
himself. So what issue. Basta with futurism, modernism and other A. Tofler.
Every trys such as those of Baudrillard are respectable. It's not the place
here to open the Pandora's box of postmodernism.
