	1	+God is dead but the hyperreal is alive and kicking. Our forms of information and communication are only signifiers in that language refers to the real, i.e. if I say “table” I refer to a real table. Originally, the real thing created what references it, but Baudrillard indicates that in the age of mass media we no longer create language to refer to reality, we create reality based on our language. For example, Coca-cola is just an sweet liquid but through our interpretation of it via ads and discourse we give it a brand and a certain legitimacy. Then, through a circular process, signs start to only signify other signs, not anything real. Thus, contemporary discourse is no longer about real things but just an exchange of empty sounds devoid of meaning. T.his is the hyperreality and it neutralizes any truth in messages and medium. The hyperreal is fundamentally unstable because there is nothing behind it to support it ~-~- it is supposed to implode from lack of power but it lives on meanings given to it by people who assume it has meaning. The explosive idealism of the 1AC prevents the coming implosion of hyperreality by giving meaning to the meaningless – only embracing the implosion can collapse the simulation.

	3	+Information devours its own content AND lies in wait for us.
	4	+This desaturated and unintelligible flow of information creates the hypermarket, a postmodern capitalism that replaces the assembly line with the montage factory where all functions are deterritorialized—this sterilizes all knowledge production as just another empty piece of code. The university is a specific site of this homogenization of bodies
	5	+Baudrillard 95 (Jean, “Simulacra and Simulation: Hypermarket and Hypercommodity”, pp. 76-78)
	6	+The hypermarket cannot be separated AND culture) whose referential is lost.
	7	+The exchange of desaturated values via this hypermarket of information, or the code, kills all movements because they have been coopted by the logics of consumption—everyone within it is subject to complete preconscious social control which hijacks any pedagogy benefits, and the system presents a façade of tolerance that guts movements while allowing the oppressions of the system continue
	8	+Pawlett 10 (William Pawlett, senior lecturer in media, communications and cultural studies at University of Wolverhampton) “The Baudrillard Dictionary” under “Code” Edinburgh University Press, 2010 AT
	9	+It is used in two AND through tolerance, solicitation and incorporation.
	10	+And, the 1AC’s revolutionary attempt to revive specifically the university fails because their method of meaning production is already dead – their mythical nostalgia for a sense of justice keeps the already corrupted system alive. Only the alternative, by embracing the rotting of these institutions, can dissolve the system
	11	+Baudrillard 95 (Jean, “Simulacra and Simulation: The Spiraling Cadaver”, pp. 143-146)
	12	+The university is in ruins AND be, but we saw it).
	13	+Thus, calls for dialectic progress fail to address the shifting strategic landscape of power – democratic participation and autonomous production of meaning fails in this hyperreality where democracy is already dead and meaning has already been neutralized and coopted to slow the implosion of the system. The alternative is to embrace the 1NC’s radical indifference via our speech act – I no longer claim my subjecthood but embrace hyperconformism to the demands of the system. Specifically, the incoherency of using speech to criticize speech illuminates the contradiction of the system’s demands for overproduction of information – we embrace the incoherency as solvency towards our alt
	14	+Baudrillard 95 (Jean, “Simulacra and Simulation: The Implosion of Meaning in the Media”, pp. 84-86)
	15	+What is essential today is AND of meaning and of speech.
