And sooooooo uncool nowadays to suggest that being an "intellectual" might be a good and adventurous thing to be!---and that one can be compassionate and a doer of good deeds even if she/he loves crazy/wild/ weird Derridean-Cixousian-(?) Celanesque, etc. words and the wonder-full labyrinthian land of philosophy and theory. Oh dear, it is so easy to make fun of the extreme-literates while the world aorund us becomes a place where no one reads a book…etc. etc….I'd rather go to a party where the colorful confetti of theory is raining down on my head than be in a dull room of ---well, of unchallenging thought…? I'm too sleepy to articulate my own thoughts at the moment! Cheers, laurie
