• cave paintings of beings with human and nonhuman animal features were not physical representations of mythical shapeshifters, but were instead attempts to depict shamans in the process of acquiring the mental and spiritual attributes of various beasts

• The simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth--it is the truth which conceals that there is none. The simulacrum is true.^[1]
• simulacrum precedes the original and the distinction between reality and representation breaks down
• third order simulacra are part of our postmodern era; the image is said to completely precede and determine the real, such that it is no longer possible to peel away layers of representation to arrive at some original.
