Maybe try read some Foucault buddy before telling others they're spooked on sexuality

Redpill me on Foucault.

>Well I know most of my examples are exaggerated or simply untrue but what if the world was like that huh??? Checkmate!!

Did it influence his philosofy being gay?

Or the world would have to endure him sperging out about his daddy issues and his class guilt regardless?

and do you even brush your teeth ? if so, how ?

OK, I've handshaked with Hegel, hammered into Heidegger, fattened up with Freud, maxxed out with Marx and sailed into Sartre. Are there any other philosophers I need to get to know before face off with Foucault?

I deferred Derrida, ill get to him later

idk man, I think they would see it as part of a larger whole which to us would seem like a loose connection. Like how the guy who founded Buzzfeed wrote his thesis on Deleuze & Guattari - to the future people the link between critical theory and early meme culture might all be seen as part of the 'spirit of our times' or something.

Also does anyone else get chills when they read the 'face in the sand' quote at the end of The Order of Things: 'If those arrangements [ie the modern episteme] were to disappear as they appeared, of which we can at the moment do no more than sense the possibility... then one can certainly wager that man would be erased, like a face drawn in sand at the edge of the sea.'
