You know shit about Derrida. Protip: There is more to know about Derrida then your cartoon 'introducing' series has covered.

There are two types of people who like Derrida.

1. Literary types who read about Derrida through deconstruction and literary theory. These types of people have just read the secondary material. They can use terms like 'undecidable' and 'under erasure' correctly, but they have no idea what Derrida is trying to do.

2. Philosophers who have spent months and months reading Derrida's early philosophy and who even studied Husserl so as to better understand Derrida. This type of person has read both first and secondary texts, and knows first hand what it is like to sit through one page of Of Grammtology and be utterly perplexed.
