Quote by Jean Baudrillard

The very definition of the real has become: that of which it is possible to give an equivalent reproduction. . . The real is not only what can be reproduced, but that which is always already reproduced: that is the hyperreal

Summary

This quote, attributed to Jean Baudrillard, suggests that the concept of reality has shifted in contemporary society. It states that reality is no longer just limited to what can be replicated, but now includes the hyperreal - a state where things are reproduced so extensively that the distinction between the original and the copies becomes blurred. In other words, the line between reality and its simulations has become increasingly ambiguous, as the hyperreal dominates our experiences and perceptions.

You must know that in any moment a decision you make can change the course of your life forever: the very next person stand behind in line or sit next to on an airplane, the very next phone call you make or receive, the very next movie you see or book you read or page you turn could be the one single thing that causes the floodgates to open, and all of the things that you've been waiting for to fall into place.
