Please don't make fun of me: was this article intended to be satire, or is it meant to be taken seriously? Reading it felt like trying to get through something written by Derrida. Or like it'd been produced by one of those obfuscating jargon generators you can find online.
The article was essentially a Gawker beatdown. And yes, he quotes Baudrillard. In a self-referential blogpost without links. Without a great deal of context I can see how you'd have difficulty parsing it. He's basically saying "Yes, I do think modern culture infantilizes us all, just like I said, and I think it does this for financial reasons. I'm also not going to name names because I've made a crapton of money playing Scotty on JJ Abrams' Star Trek and I'm writing a bloody Star Wars movie, and Star Wars was Patient Zero of the infantilization which I describe so know that I'm aware I'm part of the problem. Finally, this is nothing new as the first major project I helmed (and starred in) was about a handful of GenX burnouts that were incapable of growing up and being adults so really, I'm not sure what you were expecting, guys."
