Silly Mistake: I meant to say James Baldwin, the African-American activist, not Jon Baldwin. In this episode, I try to defend some of Baudrillard's more problematic claims regarding gender and race by contextualizing those claims within his broader project. Also, I try to unravel some of his more enigmatic approaches to the bifurcation he draws between reality and illusion.
