Philosophy 101

["Michael McGeachie" <mmcgeach@>]

GSB has, as one of its many goals, the general edification of our
patrons.  This week, we present another in our series of philosophical
interviews with leading, yet generic, thinkers.  

Q&A With a Postmodernist:

GSB: Good Afternoon, would you like to mention anything before we begin?

Postmoderist: If one examines subtextual appropriation, one is faced
with a choice: either accept the textual paradigm of reality or conclude
that the Constitution is part of the failure of consciousness, given
that sexuality is interchangeable with narrativity.

GSB: I'm not sure I follow.

Postmodernist: Bataille's essay on precultural nationalism suggests that
reality is capable of deconstruction. Thus, Lyotard suggests the use of
subdialectic socialism to read culture.

GSB: Ok, maybe we'll just move to some of my scripted questions.  When
did you first discover that you were a postmodernist?

Postmodernist:  It could be said that Debord promotes the use of
subtextual appropriation to challenge hierarchy. Therefore, the subject
is contextualised into a precultural nationalism that includes
narrativity as a totality.

GSB: A long time ago, I assume.  But let's talk about Culture.  How do
you feel about GSB as a cultural institution?

Postmodernist:  "Society is unattainable," says Lacan; however,
according to Parry, it is not so much society that is unattainable, but
rather the defining characteristic, and subsequent genre, of society.
The subject is interpolated into a precultural nationalism that includes
narrativity as a paradox.

GSB: That's a lot to swallow.  Speaking of which, can I offer you a
beverage?  I'll have one myself.

Postmodernist:  The subject is contextualised into a subtextual
appropriation that includes sexuality as a whole. Therefore, many
discourses concerning the deconstructive paradigm of consensus may be
found. 

GSB: Did I say our goal was edification of our patrons?  I meant
inebriation.  And it's funny you mention sexuality as a whole, that's a
frequent topic at GSB.

Postmodernist:  If one examines patriarchial deappropriation, one is
faced with a choice: either accept neocapitalist construction or
conclude that narrativity may be used to oppress the Other, but only if
sexuality is distinct from truth.

GSB: I'm afraid we're out of time.  We'll have to continue this at 5:30
today in the 7th floor playroom.

Postmodernist:  If subtextual appropriation holds, we have to choose
between subdialectic socialism and postcultural sublimation at this
