Quote by Jean Baudrillard

It is not enough for theory to describe and analyze, it must itself be an event in the universe it describes. In order to do this theory must partake of and become the acceleration of this logic. It must tear itself from all referents and take pride only in the future. Theory must operate on time at the cost of a deliberate distortion of present reality.

It is not enough for theory to describe and analyze, it must

Summary

This quote suggests that theoretical concepts should not just describe and analyze the universe, but actually have an impact within it. Theory should be dynamic and actively contribute to the progress of the ideas it explores. To achieve this, theory should detach itself from specific references and focus on the future. It must delve into the manipulation and exploration of time, even if it distorts current reality. In essence, the quote emphasizes the importance of theory being more than just observational, but actively transformative and forward-thinking.
