From In the World Interior of Capital: Towards a Philosophical Theory of Globalization by Peter Sloterdijk:
One of the most notable side effects of the current para-philosophical wave is the proliferation of unverified statements that no longer stop at the borders of nation-states. Pirated copies of cluelessness circulate freely in the whole world.
Pirated copies of cluelessness is a brilliant way to characterize the media space, for instance. Or Facebook “news.”
There’s no reason for them to try to be subtle about it. Voters have demonstrated that corruption leaves them indifferent.

Pirated copies of cluelessness is indeed a marvellous phrase which we should all immediately and piratically copy and cluelessly proliferate.

Are you familiar with Walter Russell Mead? I’m reading his ‘Power, Terror, Peace, and War’ right now, and he is one of the best thinkers regarding the sea change from the nation-state to the market-state I have encountered, with all the implications this has esp. on foreign relations.
