As you have such a devastatingly low opinion of deconstruction, I expect you can tell us what it is, beyond how bad it is. We all know and agree that it arose from the so-called “linguistic turn” in philosophy and the social sciences, specifically from the preeminence of Saussurian linguistics in the 1960s as the theoretical model for the study of social phenomena. Why don’t you explain to us in general terms what was the big thing about Saussure and what were Derrida’s points of departure from that model, what were his major critiques of Saussure and Levi-Strauss.

First time I've ever seen someone be the dude from the bar in Good Will Hunting with zero shame.

I would never try to cock-block someone pretending to have read Anti-Oedipus to get laid (many such cases, all the power to the horny aspiring Deleuzians out there). Moreover I don’t think anyone ought to read this stuff unless they really want to. But it’s annoying when someone’s trying to condescend over authors they clearly don’t know the first thing about, esp the "my perfect pitch is preventing me from partaking in the lowly genres" guy

I ain't even hating, it was funny.
