“All earth was but one thoughtand that was death,
Immediate and inglorious; and the pang
Of famine fed upon all entrailsmen

The meagre by the meagre were devourd,”

That have to be set up in fifty ways,
On the days war with every knave and dolt,
Theater business, management of men.”

“One of lifes primal situations; the game of hide and seek. Oh, the delicious thrill of hiding while the others come looking for you, the delicious terror of being discovered, but what panic when, after a long search, the others abandon you! You mustnt hide too well. You mustnt be too good at the game. The player must never be bigger than the game itself.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
