<div>Pardon my indulgence in posting about a writer/thinker many will find of no interest. But given that all of my "adult" life I have been astonished by the fact that the behavior of adults in positions of power in the world appears to exhibit some of the most dangerous and destructive examples of "childishness," the following quote from Baudrillard, from "Simulacra and Simulations," hit home. Again, this strikes me as brilliant socio-psychoanalysis:

<div>The Disneyland imaginary is neither true nor false: it is a deterrence machine set up in order to rejuvenate in reverse the fiction of the real. Whence the debility, the infantile degeneration of this imaginary. It's meant to be an infantile world, in order to make us believe that the adults are elsewhere, in the "real" world, and to conceal the fact that real childishness is everywhere, particularly among those adults who go there to act the child in order to foster illusions of their real childishness.
