“The need to speak, even if one has nothing to say, becomes more pressing when one has nothing to say, just as the will to live becomes more urgent when life has lost its meaning.”
—from The Ecstasy of Communication

First published in France in 1987, The Ecstasy of Communication was Baudrillard's summarization of his work for a postdoctoral degree at the Sorbonne: a dense, poetically crystalline essay that boiled down two decades of radical, provocative theory into an aphoristically eloquent swan song to twentieth-century alienation. Baudrillard's quixotic effort to be recognized by the French intellectual establishment may have been doomed to failure, but this text immediately became a pinnacle to his work, a mid-career assessment that looked both forward and back. By carefully distilling the most radical elements of his previous books, Baudrillard constructed the skeleton key to all of the work that was to come in the second half of his career, and set the scene for what he termed the “obscene”: a world in which alienation has been succeeded by ceaseless communication and information. The Ecstasy of Communication is a decisive, compact description of what it means to be “wired” in our braver-than-brave new world, where sexuality has been superseded by pornography, knowledge by information, hysteria by schizophrenia, subject by object, and violence by terror.

The Ecstasy of Communication is an anti-manifesto that confronted and dispensed with such influences as Marshall McLuhan, Guy Debord, and Georges Bataille. It is an essential crib-book, lexicon, and companion piece to any and all of Baudrillard's books. Twenty-five years after its original publication, it remains not only a prescient portrait of our contemporary condition, but also a dark mirror into which we have not yet dared to look.

Eliminated continual bad breath and some thrush
I’ll keep this short - I’ve had oral thrush since taking antibiotics years ago. My breath was always good though so I never cared much (though I do eat probiotic-rich foods whenever I can). Lately, I started developing a gross taste in my mouth that and my wife was saying my breathe wasn’t great - not a fun thing to hear. I tried mouthwashes, general probiotics, oil of oregano, etc...nothing worked. I bought these on a whim and began taking them just 5 days or so, my breathe is no longer bad. The thrush has minimized as well, though is still present toward my the back of my tongue. Amazing. I don’t write reviews and wasn’t paid to do so for this product - just bought randomly, hoping it’d help, and it did. I’m sure it won’t work for everyone since everyone’s body is different, as are the reasons you might be experiencing bad breath, but for me, this is amazing. BY THE WAY: I see reviews saying they took these like pills. That’s not going to work, you have to let them completely dissolve I. Your mouth as the instructions say!

A Lifesaver for Dry Mouth, Without That Weird Aftertaste 👏
Size: 4.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
If you know, you know: dry mouth is not just an inconvenience, it’s downright uncomfortable. I’ve tried several brands over the years, but Biotène is the one that consistently keeps my mouth feeling fresh without that overpowering artificial mint or gritty texture. This formula is gentle but effective, no burning, no foamy overload, and no funky aftertaste. It’s also a huge win that it’s sulfate-free and doesn’t irritate my gums like some drugstore pastes do. The mint is subtle but refreshing, and my mouth actually feels hydrated afterward (which is wild to say about a toothpaste, but here we are). If you deal with dry mouth from medication, menopause, or just bad luck, this one’s worth every penny. ✨ Pro tip: Keep a travel size in your bag if you’re heading out for the day. Nothing ruins a coffee date like feeling like your tongue is made of sandpaper. 10/10 recommend.

Dry Mouth
Size: 4.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have been diagnosed with Dry Mouth, what a problem this is! My dentist recommended toothpaste for dry mouth; I selected Biotene Fluoride toothpaste for daily use. I definitely use it at night before going to bed to help keep my mouth less dry. I also use Biotene mouth wash and other products that I'll rate another time. I love this toothpaste; I believe it's helpful for my diagnosis.

Biotène Fluoride Toothpaste for Dry Mouth Symptoms
Size: 4.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have been using this toothpaste on and off for a few years ever since I got a dry mouth. It is very good and leaves your mouth feeling fresh. Unfortunately it doesn't get rid of your dry mouth.

Chemical free is important
Size: 4.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I don’t like doing fluoride, but I do know that some fluoride is important so this is the cleanest fluoride toothpaste I could find and I use it in conjunction with a non-fluoride toothpaste I have I love the flavor. I love the fact that it doesn’t have a lot of the bad chemicals in it.
