can anyone translate those three massive paragraphs to english? I've spent as much time as I care to analyze it, and I'm pretty sure it says "Butler thinks it is obvious that gays should have rights, but some dudes are not gay! Whoa!" and it's not exactly a stunning insight.

No, it's just a quick reference for what I was talking about. The last time I wrote about this at length, it turned out to something like fifteen pages of text. I'm sort of hoping that you prefer the clear, concise writing in that quote, and can dig up the original source for the rest. Basically, it carries on with the later Zizek's Hegelian materialist reading of how history is interpreted from the present outwards (as opposed to starting from the past), and how postmodern theorists ("transcendental historicists") presuppose a certain historical position which defines a set of limits to thinking. Butler, Derrida, Foucault and such fall under this. Derrida fx. said there is no philosophy in China, only thought, as φιλοσοφία and 老子 don't really exist in the same universe. There is no ahistorical position for a philosophy that relies on this historicity, as he or Butler does (per the view). Were cavemen living out their gender performative lifestyles in the prehistoric age? What about Ramses II's court or the local peasants? If yes, not in a way which would have enabled Butler's work to exist. The inverse can be applied to the future in how so long as we grant that history will change, their theory cannot be universalized as the timeless absolute reality of gender. The notion of the social constructionism of gender identity etc. is itself socially constructed by the present historical moment. That's part of it, anyway. I barely mentioned the particular/universal part in one sentence previously IIRC, so that's neither here nor there, but you should find some content on it by searching for Zizek talking about BLM.

There is something ridiculous in asserting my dignity which I resist automatically. My teenage son identifies with this undermining of my own authority.

Please stop writing altogether. If you can't stop yourself, get a copy of "The Elements of Style," and learn from it. It's only 80-some pages, it's full of practical advice, and gives examples of how to simplify and clarify your writing. The most important chapter, I would argue, is titled "Omit Useless Words." I used to tutor other students in undergrad on essay writing, and your writing is what I would've called "garbage." You never actually state your point, you hide your lack of a point under too many words, and include far too many irrelevant details and asides. You need to go back to the most basic tenets of writing, and not come back here. Please.

I can't imagine anyone who writes about Hegel or Zizek with the kind of clarity that might be acceptable. Turns out -- of course I knew this -- Zizek didn't pass the test. Lacan is almost unreadable, though Fink is pretty clear on him. Butler has been crowned the worst writer in the world. Hegel was one of the worst writers in human history. They tried to ban Derrida from a professorship in the U.S., largely for the crime being such a bad writer. I've read your book over a decade ago. If you can name me one person writing on the people or topics I've mentioned and who hasn't burned your book, I'd be interested. You just don't write about continental philosophy on those terms. It's not about making a point in propositional logic, but building a position. Writing about Zizek, more than anything, tends to look a lot like flailing around. Ever heard him speak for ten minutes? So far as writing and teaching about some of these thinkers, I've gotten great feedback for tutoring in the past. That's not exactly the role I've been playing here, I'll admit. That's sort of difficult to even think of doing when you're under fire from five directions for being, uh, I don't know what I am at this point. I've tried to dumb down some academic concepts lazily, often just so I'd get away from talking about them. Not to say I'm a great philosopher, because I'm not. Technically my writing could be better for sure. I do alright for a third language speaker.

Nonetheless, so long as my favorite thinkers are renowned in the English-speaking world for being unreadable, I don't worry too much about the sincere concerns (:airquote:) of people who show no interest in reading them. It might just be I'm in good company.

This is literally the only relevant part of all of that.

Your writing is not technically good. This is what people are telling you. You understand the vocabulary and grammar, but you're still writing very, very poorly.

Everyone would like you to stop, or respond in less than 1,000 words and with a coherent point. You can't/won't, so stop.

Also, why do you only respond to my post about writing and not any of the ones about Jorper's views and how he wants them implemented in society? Stop posting other people's opinions, everyone wants to hear yours without filtering them through references and vague sentiments.
