Welcome the the Invisible Man Golden Hour!
Which other poster would dare mention Hegel, Trotsky and oversized boners within the space of three posts?

Someone's never been to a undergraduate literary studies party before. Needs more Nietzsche to be the real deal though.

Just wait until he gets on Derrida... then we know he's really drunk

I talk about Foucault and woman doing gang bang porn all the time. THE ORDER OF THINGS had a profound effect on me despite my C+ understanding of it.

Undergraduate Literary Studies Party can be our band name, UC. Never been to one, but I assume they are lacking in boner-talk.

Jacques Derrida's work is nonsense. You heard it here. Also: Eivind and I were doing a bit and he left he hanging, and now I look crazy.

This does not square with my experience, fwiw. They're all bad impressions of what people think the Romantics did (take drugs and talk about sex... which is what the Romantics did, but I don't think I've met anyone who's written the next Frankenstein at one.)

We always talked about Derrida in one of my post-modern lit classes. Professor was cool. He would always just say, "There is no such thing as repetition. There is no such thing as repetition."

Do we need to check off all the hip philosophy/lit dudes to see who can actually be in the Undergraduate Literary Studies Party?

Like... Nietzsche? Surely we're not stopping there when a bunch of losers who think they've figured it all out, touting: "God is dead," and thinking that Atheism is edgy (and having no understanding of the passage... obv).

I actually like Derrida. I mean, he's full of shit, but amongst it all he usually has something interesting to think about.
Nietzsche is more interesting devoid of the idiots who get hung up on his ideas.

No hate on any of the aforementioned writers/philosophers but they're definitely regarded highly but some serious losers who think they're hot shit.

I also think there's a tendency of people who think they occupy the intellectual high ground to embrace Nietzsch or at least to mention casually that they do. It seems to signal a certain lucid distanciation from the pleb. For some reason.

I guess I'm a pleb though I like Camus

I like Camus. The Plague is fucking great. I like The Stranger, too, but that's the obvious answer, right?
