He never describes himself as a postmodernist but Foucault basically was and is still super influential in history and is extremely bad

So yes, academics basically.
Have you considered that within the power structures of society, we are all called upon to play the role of the Extremely Bad, and the only difference is the extremity of our baditude?

e:1946 - Foucalt is accepted to the École Normale Supérieure, where he decorates his room with images of torture and chases a classmate with a dagger. Extremely Normale.

Foucault had one good idea and somehow milked it his whole career. I'm just jealous.

It's a 20% rise in three years, it is absolute naked greed and they are right to fight it.

There's no greed involved because the prices haven't really risen at all. The pound has simply fallen so much in the last three years that £1.20 now is worth what £1 was on the day of the EU referendum.

I reckon Eddie Redmayne would do a very convincing Rory Stewart, and he did a good likeness of Hawking, so there we go.

So Sufis would be at the very bottom of that chart then?

I've often thought

quote:

O God! If I worship You for fear of Hell, burn me in Hell
and if I worship You in hope of Heaven, exclude me from Heaven.
But if I worship You for Your Own sake,
grudge me not Your everlasting Beauty.
was one of the best prayers as prayers go.

And it would have pissed the gently caress out of Pascal, so that makes it even better.

Read some of his lectures at the College de France sometime, his work on biopower and neoliberal economics was pretty cool.
