The video is obviously sarcastic, but what makes JS really great is that this video is from 2012 and _all_ of this knowledge is still relevant. I used to freelance frontend webdev HTML+CSS, browser wars, etc, was very good at it. None of that webdev knowledge is useful today.

There is a deeper thing happening it seems, smoke and mirrors with abundance of hot air?

I’m slowly understanding the complete gibberish you’re  sharing, but the way my mind processes it. Appreciate your replies , a lot 🙏

I think the video is a sort of love/hate display of skill and knowledge working with an overly complex programming language. 

Though back in 2012 it was maybe possible to wish for JS to become better (less quirky) or something else to overtake it. Now not so much.

Baudrillard was the philosophical rock star. Simulacra Simulacrum and Hyperreality. Which is all dead on visionary thinking while suffocating oneself. 
The connection I’m inferring though is more of the intellectual elite seizing language. It’s vital for any paradigm shift, Thomas Kuhn lays out. It’s more nuanced

I do wanna learn more about abstruse critical theory and post structuralism. I sometimes look at their Wikipedia articles when I'm in need of complicated sounding words.

Believe it or not the thinking at play is entirely analogous to ideas laid out in painfully abstruse critical theory, post structuralism, languages and honest to god, madmen attempting to make common sense the Big Bang
(Btw, it’s why gen art fits hand in glove w ???)
