I Derrida Your BS of Philosophy

Matlock references, fan fic, lists of things. Boy, we've sure had fun over the last two blogs! But now it's time to grab that fun like a damp sponge and squeeze, squeeze until the fun runs out like so much filthy dish water. That's right, blog reader! It is about to get educational in here!  Through my special combination of education and entertainment, which I call "Entercation"(TM), you'll learn valuable scholarly concepts in a n engaging fashion, and I'll chip away at any feelings of intellectual inadequacy. Ha ha, it took me four tries to spell "inadequacy" correctly! Ha! HA HA HAHA

For my first eduFUNctional series of the fall season, I'm returning to the classics and continuing my series PHUN with Philosophy. As you recall from reading previous installments, PHUN with Philosophy is a series where I teach you rubes and noobs about what a bunch of dead people used to write about their own thoughts an' stuff. After reading my series, I guarantee you can go to any party full of hackey-sacking hippies drinking grocery store wine and hold your own. Note to said hippies: calling it "Saturnalia" doesn't make you less of an alcoholic.

Today I'll be tackling something I already know I'm going to hate. Ugh, just look at this guy's Wikipedia page. It's long and full of nonsense phrases like "pharmakon". I have no idea what that is, but I'll just assume it's a prescription drug conference where ugly tradespeople go to down Cymbalta and pound strangers. Also? This guy's wiki photo? Pretty sure that it's from an alternate dimension where James Dean didn't get into a car accident, but  rather got married to his third or fourth best girl and lived an extended life of prolonged misery.  Still haven't guessed which philosopher I'm talking about? DING DING DING! It's everyone's favorite self-indulgent Frenchman Jacques Derrida!

Derrida is perhaps best known for his development of the philosophy of deconstructionism, which is basically a philosophy where someone builds a nice house of cards and then some dick comes along and knocks it all over. It is like being at a party where everyone is having a good time but then some jackwad puts on a movie. I hate that guy. Just go to the movies, asshole! I'm sorry they don't serve 7-layer bean dip at the movie theater, but you can't win 'em all. Jesus! Anyway, Derrida is that guy. I mean, just look at this shit (from the Wikipedia article):

"To mark the undecidable of all oppositions working across all texts in western culture, he created marks like: 

- the hymen that is neither confusion nor distinction, neither identity nor difference, neither consummation nor virginity, neither the veil nor unveiled, neither inside nor the outside, etc.;"

Is that all it takes to be a philosopher? Ugh. "Hey guys, look at this bowl of lukewarm water. It is neither hot nor cold, neither ice nor steam, neither H nor 2O, neither the bowl nor the lukewarm water, neither hot married donkey fucking nor unmarried dry humping, neither soda nor OJ nor purple stuff nor SUNNY D!"

GOD DAMN IT I HATE THIS GUY
