When we make fun of an attitude, the truth is often in this attitude, not in the distance we take towards it: I make fun of it to conceal from myself the fact that it actually determines my activity. Someone who mock his own love for a woman, say, often thereby expresses his uneasiness at being so deeply attached to her.

Speaking of Hegel, allow me to repost a picture I made ages ago
Fear and Foucault in Death Valley
(this is an excerpt from James Miller’s ‘The Passion of Michel Foucault)
Just wrote 14 pages about Hegel and Nietzsche before breakfast, and am now done with all my work as an undergraduate. How was your morning?
I play a lot of Mario Kart, but lately it has been a bit annoying, since every time someone suggest playing, one of my flatmates instantly yells “SHOTGUN GOOD CONTROLLER, SHOTGUN FIRST PLAYER, SHOTGUN NOT SETTING UP”. Therefore I have decided that once I am done with my exams, I will write an essay in which I utilize the Philosophy of John Rawls to determine a set of principles regarding how to set up Mario Kart justly, and to neutralize the factor of luck.
I was wondering if anyone else is similarly bored, obsessed with Philosophy and Mario Kart, and would like to contribute short papers with other perspectives on the justice of setting up Mario Kart so we can turn it into some kind of ebook?
Pretty sure this is how people who are impressed by Postmodernism actually react
