Separation Perfected: the present age, which prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, representation to reality, the appearance to the essence .. illusion only is sacred, truth profane. - feuerbach (the essence of christianity) The language of the spectacle is composed of signs of the dominant organisation - signs which are at the same tie the ultimate end-product of that organisation.p.13. “Everything is that appears is good; whatever is good will appear.” The attitude that it demands in principle is the same passive acceptance that it has already secured by means of its seeming incontrovertibility, and indeed by its monopolisation of the real of appearances.p15.
