Subject: brief reference to authenticity" simulacrum.

Lesson: hollywood is a simulacra, a dreamworld using merlin's wand of illusion to lull you to sleep and complacency by inculcating a dreamworld of truth and justice when the reality is none exists and long ago vanished (search magnetic city) or the link below on false authenticity snip from hermenaut link below" It replaces the (cheap, degraded) emotion of the ersatz facsimile with the cold calculation of the simulacrum, the replica which has replaced that which it was only supposed to replicate. The fake, as Baudrillard has said for years, is charming; the simulacrum is not.
This is why cities like Los Angeles and Las Vegas are no longer as awful to us, today, as they did to progressive types forty years ago. A culture of fakeness has actually inoculated these places against fake authenticity " "Back to The Future" welcome to Biff's World http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099088/ the idea is a switch and substitution in versions of reality have been made, parallel timelines different realities like the tv series called "Sliders"
