Simulation Ecology: On the Ethics of Hyperreality
<p>One way of referring to this phenomenon is Hyperreality. Unlike forms of Simulation theory that say we’re *literally* or *physically* in a computer-generated simulation, the Sim-theory of Jean Baudrillard, whence this term originates, suggests that in our technologically-induced state of “Hyperreality” we are in simulation because we’re unable to distinguish real existence from the realm of images and representations that surround us. The symbols and ideas by which consciousness would interpret what is Real are so thickly packed in our experience that we can never get through them to grasp what’s actually there. The image becomes more primary than that of which it’s an image — this is the effect of the simulacrum.</p>
