Speaker 0 (0s): Got it on the spot. You could ask yourself question. Do I do, 

Speaker 1 (9s): If you're lucky, welcome back. Everybody so nice to see you, even though I can't see you. When I close my eyes, I can imagine you, 

Speaker 0 (20s): Duane is speculative and he would join the Spectacle. 

Speaker 1 (34s): There's a difference between substance and appearance, 

Speaker 0 (41s): Right? 

Speaker 1 (42s): And you, you look around, do you see the people in your life that care about you? When you look in the mirror or do you see that person that loves you 

Speaker 0 (50s): Walking around like regular people, they don't want to see each other. And we see what they want us to see. 

Speaker 1 (59s): The substance things are what they are. It is what it is. For instance, however long, a log lies in the water. It never becomes a crocodile. And you don't gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles nature app whores, a vacuum. Thus, the pebble comes from the mountain and each day has its own wind in nature. 

There's no such thing as a lawn. Even if you try to drive out nature with a Pitchfork, she'll keep coming back. 

Speaker 0 (1m 40s): <inaudible> we'll get the lip is split. 

Speaker 1 (1m 46s): Indeed nature follows its course and the cat, the mouse. So cats don't catch mice to please God human nature is the same. The world over just as the name given to a child, becomes natural to it. Perhaps because of this, sometimes a person is nothing and some aren't even that. So never forget. There's a prawn under every rock and to him who watches, everything reveals itself. 

This spectacle of Society in which we find ourselves today, 

Speaker 0 (2m 28s): Spectacle of Society in which we find ourselves today to speak to the society. We find ourselves to do 

Speaker 1 (2m 42s): The fact that the practical power of modern society detached itself and built an independent empire in the Spectacle the Spectacle ladies and gentlemen can be explained only by the fact that this practical power continue to lack cohesion and remained in contradiction within itself. The oldest social specialization, the specialization of power is at the root of the Spectacle. 

The Spectacle is thus a specialized activity, which speaks for all of the others. It is the diplomatic representation of hierarchic Society to itself where all other expression is banned here. The most Modern is also the most archaic. 

Speaker 0 (3m 48s): Oh, the Spectacle Spectacle the Spectacle all right. 

Speaker 1 (3m 54s): Spectacle is the existing orders on interrupted discourse about itself? It's a lot of Tori monologue. It is The self portrait have power in the Epic of a totalitarian management of the conditions of existence. The fetishistic purely objective appearance of spectacular relations conceals the fact that they are relations among men in classes as a second nature with its fatal laws seems to dominate our environment, but the Spectacle is not the necessary product of technical development scene. 

As a natural development. The Society of the Spectacle is on the contrary, the form, which chooses its own technical content. If the Spectacle taken in the limited sense of quote-on-quote mass media, which are its most glaring, superficial manifestation seems to invade society as a mirror equipment. This equipment is in no way neutral, but it's the very means suited to which is total self movement. 

If the social needs of the epoch in which such techniques are developed, can only be satisfied through their mediation. If the administration of this Society and all contact among men can no longer take place except through the intermediary of this power of instantaneous communication. It is because this communication is essentially unilateral. The concentration of communication is thus and accumulation in the hands of the existing systems administration of the means, which allow it to carry on this particular administration. 

The generalized cleavage of the Spectacle is inseparable from the modern state, namely from the general form of cleavage within Society the product of the division of social labor and the Oregon of class domination domination. The Oregon of class domination separation is the alpha and Omega of this. Spectacle the institutionalization of the social division of labor. 

The formation of classes had given rise to a First sacred contemplation, the mythical order with which every power is shrouded. So from the beginning, the sacred has justified the cosmic and ontological order, which corresponded to the interest of the masters. It has explained and embellished that which Society could not do thus all separate power has been spectacular, but the adherence of all to an immobile image only signified the common acceptance of an imaginary prolongation of the poverty of real social activity still largely felt as a unitary condition. 

The Modern Spectacle on the contrary expresses what society can do, but in the expression, the permitted is absolutely opposed to the possible. The Spectacle is the preservation of unconsciousness within the practical change, have the conditions of existence. It is its own product and it has made its own rules. 

It is a pseudo sacred entity. It shows what it is, separate power developing in itself in the growth of productivity by means of the incessant refinement of the division of labor into a parcelization of gestures, which are then dominated by the independent movement of machines and working for an ever expanding market, all community and all critical sands are dissolved during this movement in which the forces that could grow by separating are not yet. 

We United with the generalized separation, have the worker and his products, every unitary view of accomplished activity and all direct personal communication among producers are lost Opening the progress of accumulation of separate products and the concentration of the productive process, unity and communication become the exclusive attribute of the systems management. 

The success of the economic system of separation is the proletariat is the success of the economic system of separation is the proletarian ization of the world due to the success of separate production as production of the separate, the fundamental experience, which is primitive societies is attached to a central task is in the process of being displaced at the crest of the systems development by non-work by inactivity. 

But this inactivity is in no way liberated from productive activity. It depends on productive activity and is an uneasy and admiring submission to the necessities and results of production. It is itself a product of its rationality. There can be no freedom outside of activity. And in the context of the Spectacle, the Spectacle ladies and gentlemen, all activity is neglected just as real activity has been captured in its entirety for the global construction of this result. 

Thus, the present quote-on-quote liberation from Labour, the increase of leisure is in no way, a liberation within labor Nori liberation from the world shaped by this labor. None of this activity lost and labor can be regained in the submission to its result. The economic system founded on isolation is a circular production of isolation. The technology is based on isolation and the technical process isolates in turn from the automobile to the television. 

All the good selected by the spectacular system are also with weapons for a constant reinforcement of the conditions of isolation, of lonely crowds. The Spectacle, the Spectacle, the Spectacle ladies and gentlemen constantly rediscovers its own assumptions. More concretely. The Spectacle originates in the loss of the unity of the world and the gigantic expansion of the Modern Spectacle express at the totality of this loss, the abstraction of all specific labor and the general abstraction of the entirety of production are perfectly rendered in the Spectacle whose mode of being concrete is precisely abstraction in the Spectacle. 

One part of the world represents itself to the world and is superior to it. The Spectacle is nothing more than the common language of this separation. What binds the spectators together is no more than an irreversible relacion at the very center, which maintains their isolation. The Spectacle reunites, the separate But reunites it as separate the alienation of the spectator to the prophet of the contemplated object, which was the result of its own unconscious activity is expressed in the following ways. 

The, the more he contemplates. So the less he lives, the more he accepts recognizing himself in the dominant images of need, the less he understands his own existence and his own desires. Let me, let me repeat that for everybody here. Try to wrap your head around them. I guess the more he kind of don't play in the less he lives, the more she contemplates, the less she lives, the more you contemplate, the less you live, the more you accept recognizing yourself and the dominant images of need, the less you understand your own existence and your own desires. 

The externality of the Spectacle in relation to the active man appears in the fact that his own gestures are no longer his, but those of another who represents them to him, this is why the spectator feels at home. Nowhere because of the Spectacle is everywhere. The worker does not produce himself. He produces an independent power. 

The success of this production is abundance returns to the producer as an abundance of dispossession all the time and space of his world become foreign to him with the accumulation of his alienated products. The Spectacle is the map of this new world, a map which exactly covers its territory. The very powers which escaped us, show themselves to us and all of their force, the Spectacle to Spectacle the Spectacle within Society corresponds to a concrete manufacturer of alienation economic expansion is mainly the expansion of the specific industrial production. 

What grows with the economy in motion for itself can only be the very alienation which was added to the origin, separated from his product. Man, himself produces all the details of his world with ever increasing power and thus finds himself ever more separated from his world. The more his life is now, his product, the more he is separated from his life, Separated from his product. 

Man, himself produces all the details of his world with ever increasing power and thus finds himself even more separated from the world. The more your life is now, your product, the more you are separated from your life. The Spectacle is capital to such a degree of accumulation, that it becomes an image, 

Speaker 0 (15m 48s): Right? 

Speaker 1 (15m 48s): As labor is progressively rationalize and mechanized. The worker's lack of will is reinforced by the way, in which is the activity becomes less 

Speaker 0 (16m 0s): And less and less 

Speaker 1 (16m 4s): And more and more and more content 

Speaker 0 (16m 11s): Spectacle ladies and gentlemen.
