Lmao that is crazy. My Master’s thesis advisor studied under Derrida and simply won’t shut up about it, so I guess we have like 2 degrees of separation.
Nice, that means you’re Derrida’s grandstudent? I regret to inform you that Francis Fukuyama is your estranged uncle:
He initially pursued graduate studies in comparative literature at Yale University, going to Paris for six months to study under Roland Barthes and Jacques Derrida but became disillusioned and switched to political science at Harvard University.
I can only imagine how hard Barthes must’ve bullied Fukuyama for being such a nerd. He had zero chill for goody two shoes types.
And yeah, i guess that makes me his grandstudent! I actually used some of his work on ethics and hospitality for my master’s thesis, and it really stuck with me whenever I think about people sharing food, land, and work… hosting people or being a guest somewhere.
I have no idea what that means, but it looks like this is the place to say that I know a guy who threw up on Derrida

It means: “Something that actually happened to me but is so weird/unbelievable no one would believe me”
Thanks!
