An Obituary.....Sort Of.....Or Not.

French philosopher Jacques Derrida has died. It seems that his primary claim to fame, or shame depending on who you talk to, is the formulation of a school of thought called "deconstructionism". As near as I can figure, deconstructionism states that language can mean almost anything the listener wishes it to mean. So a Stop sign could mean Don't Stop, or possibly, Let's go grab a burger. Who knows?

The web, naturally, is having some fun at Derrida's expense. But the best one I've seen is at JustOneMinute.

By the way, I agree with Derrida, so if you don't like my posts, it's your own damn fault.
