Hahaha! some of the endnotes made me laugh 😂 to answer 1. , i had to struggle reading it so many times to even begin to comprehend, but i think with the help of 2. i managed to at least land somewhere(?) the way i ended up interpreting it is that - the images we put out of ourselves do not hide who we really are, because 'who we really are' in turn, hides the ironic fact that there is actually -nothing- (was lost to us, sadly), thus 'who we really are' is actually/became the images that we put out instead. Or maybe i missed the mark altogether haha. Anyway, this was such an interesting read yet again, and i share lot's of the same woes, doubts and overthinking, so this was very relatable and encouraging. I agree too with especially the last few paragraphs. Admirable that you bared it all and write them out like this!
glad it was entertaining for you!! hehe. and yes i think that's what i was trying to get at, and Baudrillard too albeit on a much larger and complex scale. thank you for reading, Joe!! <3
