If there's one Frenchman out there somewhere who isn't a retard, he must be so lonely.

Derrida's writing can be very humorous.

His stylistic flourishes can be excessive but at least most of them are grounded in some rhetorical strategy or other, even if they're not always successful.

His ideas, notably, are not full of shit.

>The negation of negation, the spatial negation of the point is the line. The point negates and retains itself, extends and sustains itself, lifts itself

What happened to our generation? It's as if you idiots don't even know how to read anymore.
If it's not written like the cultural page of sunday magazine you stomp your feet and you cry with your populist pretense of clarity.
And what do you get? A generation of paper-thin philosopher, with no depths, that write like journalists.

Seriously Derrida is not that hard, get a couple of reference books, read an introduction or two and go back to it instead of waiting for everything to be pre-digested for you.

Speech and Phenomena, Of Grammatology, Writing and Difference.

Some of his ideas are the pre-eminence of writing over voice, deconstruction, the inaccessibility of intention, differance, sedimentation of meaning.

If there is any of these ideas you want to be explained just ask and I will.

What happens when that STEM dude decides he'll give "philosophy a go" so he can have some ground for bashing it. This is the best he could come up with.
