"Are you aware that you are conditioned? That is the first thing to ask yourself, not how to be free of your conditioning. You may never be free of it, and if you say, “I must be free of it”, you may fall into another trap of another form of conditioning. So are you aware that you are conditioned? Do you know that even when you look at a tree and say, “That is an oak tree”, or “that is a banyan tree”, the naming of the tree, which is botanical knowledge, has so conditioned your mind that the word comes between you and actually seeing the tree? To come in contact with the tree you have to put your hand on it and the word will not help you to touch it."

"Theme parks like Disneyland now simulate the experiences of space travel, submarine voyages, driving on the Autobahn, strolling through the French Quarter in New Orleans, expeditions through the “Western Frontier,” nostalgic walks down “Main Street” America, and journeys into fairy tales and children’s stories. Baudrillard argues that Disneyland is a perfect model of a simulation. Disneyland is not just simply a simulated fantasyland, but instead it is present as fantasy, which, ironically, leads us to believe that the rest of America is real. Thus for Baudrillard, in contrast to the simulated malls and theme restaurants of everyday “real life,” Disneyland is more authentic than “reality” because it does not purport to be “real."
