Do keep in mind that this motherfucker also wrote a whole ass bookwork on Proust, the author par excellence when it comes to writing about particular personal memories. the difference between Proust and the boring-ass NYT bestsellers about having cancer is that Proust digs beneath the mundane surface and explores the structure of human consciousness and memory through his personal memories.

His point is not the point the dumbass PragerU's graph tries to make that all 'personal expression' is le bad. what Proust (and Deleuze as well) do is to find the profound within the personal, not to ban the personal altogether. This is also the whole point of Deleuze talking about the importance of creativity and expression as opposed to a monolithic truth in 'what is philosophy'
