...we might ask ourselves
whether the dinosaurs did not disappear as a result of a
catastrophic internal process – precisely on account of that
maximum power and its reversal, as all systems reverse at their
apogee. There is nothing to say we are not mentally and
biologically programmed for an internal disappearance of the
same order, as the logical consequences of our power (Jean
Baudrillard. Cool Memories III. New York: Verso,
1997:139).
