The article was essentially a Gawker beatdown. And yes, he quotes Baudrillard. In a self-referential blogpost without links. Without a great deal of context I can see how you'd have difficulty parsing it. He's basically saying "Yes, I do think modern culture infantilizes us all, just like I said, and I think it does this for financial reasons. I'm also not going to name names because I've made a crapton of money playing Scotty on JJ Abrams' Star Trek and I'm writing a bloody Star Wars movie, and Star Wars was Patient Zero of the infantilization which I describe so know that I'm aware I'm part of the problem. Finally, this is nothing new as the first major project I helmed (and starred in) was about a handful of GenX burnouts that were incapable of growing up and being adults so really, I'm not sure what you were expecting, guys."
