Burger

In searching for an iconic and world-famous food, the author developed the idea of ​​using artificially flavoured food products to illustrate Baudrillard's Simulacra. The choice of the "Whopper" flavour captures a powerful conceptual abstraction, made even more profound by considering that it is embedded within the other four layers of abstraction complexity, which questions the definition of "Doritos", echoing the fragmented and subjective complexity of postmodernism. The meme was initially included in an academic publication on postmodernism. It was inspired by the "Third-order Simulacra" (https://imgur.com/third-order-simulacra-WJsLr88) and the "Four Stages of Simulation - Fish" (https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2445322-four-stages-of-simulation)

The 4 stages of Baudrillard's simulacra , as interpreted through the Flying Spaghetti Monster

The four stages of the Simulacra, from "Simulacra and Simulation" (1981) by Jean Baudrillard FSM Stage One: Initially, the sign (image or representation) is a reflection of basic reality. Stage Two: The sign masks a basic reality. The image becomes a distortion of reality, Stage Three: The sign marks the absence of basic reality. The image calls into question what the reality is and if it even exists. Stage Four: The sign bears no relation to any reality whatsoever; it is its own pure simulacrum.
