Quote by Jean Baudrillard
We are no longer in a state of growth; we are in a state of excess

We are no longer in a state of growth; we are in a state of excess. We are living in a society of excrescence. The boil is growing out of control, recklessly at cross purposes with itself, its impacts multiplying as the causes disintegrate. – Jean Baudrillard
