“The spectacle is not a collection of images, but a social relation among people, mediated by images.” Maybe. I find this irrationally optimistic.

At 18 months I form an image of mommy so I can have her when needed. Perhaps we soon have enough images that we don't need actual relations. All the imagery of the outside world merely triggers the coresponding internal image of a world we never have to leave, for SF or ....The spectacle then is internalized and 'harmonized' with the past.
