You say meme like an epithet. I say it like a soma badge of honor. I raise it like a champagne glass. Airheaded? Yes that Dionysean light footedness is the absolute mark of confident Europeans. Zarathustra was a Jester who mocked his enemies in drab black priest cloth as foolish tarantulas. All of Shakespeare's Jesters were the most contemplative wise men known by the common man thanks to the jest of the Globe Theater. As much as I love rebuking your sissy rage, this thread isn't about entering the West but leaving it. This is the mark it left on you. A sticky note on the back of your backpack that says "kick me"

Essentialism is a kind of violence. Science is illegitimate or suspect. Scientific facts are constructed by extratheoretical interests. Knowledge is just an expression of power. Power is domination. No truth claims can be grounded. There are no facts, only interpretations. Every perspective is equally legitimate. All knowledge is relative to an individual’s standpoint. If a term or concept was formulated in a colonial context, it must be false, and deploying it is a kind of violence. Classification is a form of conceptual imperialism. All binaries are violent hierarchies. Every system or structure is established on the grounds of something that it both excludes and presupposes. Concepts are fundamentally fraught. Every abstraction is a loss. Everything is discourse. Meaning is differential. Meaning is constantly deferred and can never be stabilized. Language determines thought. Being is always already before language. Philosophy is phallocentric or logocentric. Logic is merely the codification of heteronormative, white, male thinking. There are no more metanarratives. History is over. Knowledge is impossible.

>Refute this guy
This thread is not made to refute but to make midwits seethe in frustration as you are currently doing because you failed to fully comprehend what was written.

Just found out about calibre. Shit is comfy for reading on the puter.
