Deconstruction is a critical technique.
Your sentence "Not that this means deconstruction is 'stupid'." could be interpreted:
"One has to take at least one grain of salt when certain critical techniques are used."
Depending on how one reads this entire post, that may or may not be considered a charitable interpretation.

- dvanduzer 13y agoI was posting about Wittgenstein over there. "Metaphysics as a true language" does not compute. When Wittgenstein finished deconstructing the entirety of existence in his Tractatus, he reserved the last sentence to tell himself to shut up.
