We are at war. Human cultures are divided into two basic types, two
antagonistic forces, one based on symbolic exchange, which is dual
and reciprocal, and one based on money and sign exchange, which is
totalising. Non-western societies can create genuinely symbolic,
durable cultures. But the western world-system, based on a logic of
empire, is designed to create an integrated and sealed reality, to
snap tight around the world and its image. If the first is
indestructible and the second is irresistible, who can win and what
will victory look like? The answer may lie in the capacity for
violence in the world-system itself, threatening that system from
within with the purest of symbolic forms, the challenge of
resistance. The Intelligence of Evil or the Lucidity Pact is the
summation of Baudrillard's work over twenty years. It is the
essential analysis of the fundamental conflict of our time.
