Well done, it is always better to expose word salads with no meaning than to make an actual argument which they never do. Post modernism will fail just like the illusion that Biden was competent.

Again, exceptional work ⏤ I can't express enough my pleasure in seeing you get around these subjects that might otherwise not have been addressed. My problem with it [the association to the subject(s)], of course ⏤ (again), is the amount of attention it gets ⏤ where you would [I would] think it would be central to any infrastructural buildingblock of institutional integrity ⏤ the myopia of megaculture seems to make it the catalyst of a central figure to resist. In my brief overview of the core principle of [said work], I suppose in regards to its later development; post NYUprof ⏤ in reading "Beyond Woke," [which I am only through the first chapters] ⏤ I couldn't help but notice, and based my conceptual understanding to, and the basis for my beliefs on the subject to ⏤ the observation that "woke" was a vernacular association with a state of mind, or realization; that (maybe in the Zen, or Buddhist school) that things were, here; and now ⏤ and its derogatory associations were only made through identification with the term as such ⏤ this is what I thought, while; reading your article ⏤ [ne pas m'accuser en m'excusant]

Thanks Michael, you exceeded my expectations with this. One of Carl Benjamin's colleagues on Lotus Eaters is a professed libertarian; I think he would like this.
