does anybody actually understand any of this gobbly gook are they just making pretend? whats the minimum iq required to make heads or tails of this? i consistently score 120 on those raven's progressive tests and my inferred iq score from both the GRE and the SAT is also around this iq range but i can't make heads or tails of any of this crap

Lacan's writing is actually very hard to understand, Deleuze and Baudrillard are comprehensible. Why are you bunching these three together though?

philosophy is pseud bs beyond the Greeks. just start with the Greeks and don't go beyond them. people like Wittgenstein and lacan admitted that even they don't understand what they wrote.

It was a fad in (french) """""""philosophy"""""""" that unfortunately all of the anglos insecure about their micropenises have kept alive: fashion over substance.

You have to remember that french are barely even human beings, and all of the men you have mentioned were so morally bankrupt that it would be impossible for them to construct a coherent system of values that said anything meaningful about existence and so instead they parodied true and genuine philosophic endeavors.

It was all cosmetics. All theatre.

It was a bad joke that only duped anglos and smelly french autists.

why didn't Foucault simply deconstruct the power relations of the hiv virus swimming around in his blood stream?
