B.'s thinking is much beyond mere "pessimism" and really describes poignantly and poetically the times in which we live. His fatal strategies are also there to absorb and consider as alternatives (counter-signs) to the hyperreal. I have been reading Symbolic Exchange and Death as a life manual for the possessed. I have to say I feel quite uplifted and inspired while studying it. He is far beyond mere pessimism and if he does, owes very little to Schopenhauer. Nietzsche himself would be proud of B.
