Misconceptions

 August 31, 2022

So I'm reading Foucault the other day because one can only have so much of Nietzsche defining for you what philosophy means now that people can read and write, so I thought I'd give the Frenchman a shot.

I have not been violently displaced. There's a thought. There's no paradox of choice. If you are not where people thought you might be, that's not proof of sudden traumatic displacement by exterior source. The victim complex of the Millennial desire/longing complex is the total reverse of the point that Foucault was making despite him being the most cited in the social sciences etc.

The misconception that he was saying that his technique was insanity is also the obverse of true. He's saying that everyone else is insane for not using his technique. Is common sense still extent?

You don't want to see Leviathan unchained. Why is that? Why are we acting like we should listen to the insane, by the by? Who's listening to the sane?
