Everyone accepts that there are inevitably little areas of secrecy reserved for specialists; as regards things in general, many believe they are in on the secret.
Guy DebordIn societies where modern conditions of productions prevail, all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. Everything that was directly lived has moved away into representation. The images detached from every aspect of life fuse in a common stream in which the unity of this life can no longer be re-established. Reality considered partially unfolds, in its own general unity as a pseudo-world apart, an object of mere contemplation . . . The spectacle is not a collection of images, but a social relation among people, mediated by images.
Guy DebordNone of the activity stolen by work can be regained by submitting to what work has produced. - The Society of The Spectacle
Guy DebordWhere the real world changes into simple images, the simple images become real beings and effective motivations of hypnotic behavior.
