cowabunga fellow mutantsHere is a nice, relaxful point to ponder to ease you into your restful Sunday-before-work-remember-work-don't-get-too-comfortable-because-there-is-work-tomorrow routine.
"The identity between the identity of identity and identity, and the identity of différance and différance, is their différance."
I heard this on an iTunes U lecture on deconstruction. I only had to play that sentence, oh about 800 times, before I could figure out what it meant, and even then it was a brief flash of understanding, which is since long gone. Anyone care to explain to me what it means, and how philosophers can get away with such crap, just by playing silly games with words?
(P.S. Too orange? Be blunt. I need to know. I love all colours and combinations so I have no clue what looks good).
