Slowly, he stretches back in his pile of straw and examines the night sky, his comfortable pile of straw was a good reminder of how life was a year ago, it had been comfortable. Nowadays, instead of talking to his brother until midnight about how they remember when they were kids, now all he hears is his little brother mumbling in the darkness..

"Oats! That's what I crave, or at least that's what I used to before you, spineless, cainistic brother left me to rot in the pavement of an unnamed street in an unknown universe. Looking for a glimpse of any edible substance I roamed this strange earth of maddening laughter and ironic ruling, strugling to find but a softened up leather belt to stuff my mouth with. In vain were my efforts, oh tiranic brother, for even the more pantagruelistic buffet in that land of rotten morals couldn't fill my oats-driven hunger.
I transcended thus this state in which you now live, this animalistic phase of existing where the earth the air roams isn't circle but oat-shaped. Mind and body united at last after years of the dictatorship of Oats. With this newfound dormant power I traveled far and wide. I studied every great animal in this unearthly kingdom of lust and misery. I practiced every virtue left to us by the shadows that formed every building, every bridge, every very stone that we now live upon. I became a spiritual guide to those in dire need, a villanous figure to those hungry for oats. I acquired fame beyond the lengthiests tomes of recorded history and have been admired by the nameless rulers of this permanently greyish sky. All of this I did with one goal, one finish line in mind. I needed to return, oh piacular brother, to this land that gave us our first corrupted breath of oatsfilled air. To this land where our beatened up mother gave her last breath into our soon to be sinful lungs.
Now, because of our brotherly bond, I shall give you a choice. End your life now, die gracefully in the dirt and mud that our ancestors have created over generations of struggle or perish under my hoofs like an animal.
You choose, oh my corrupted brother!"

>This more and more leads me to believe that the Derrida, at least during that period can be described as eccentric kantian

Derrida should never, *ever* be described as a Kantian in any sense of the word or with any modifier or adjective. Read the death penalty lectures. I know the very topic of 'responsibility' seems to link the gift of death and the first two critiques but the two could not be more separate. read the death penalty lectures if you are more interested in this, or politics of friendship. i don't have the time to break it down for you here but the very notion of responsibility for derrida is in the absence of moral rule; for derrida, rule and responsibility are contradictory.

2. animals
3. destory the metaphysics of presence

To shake you beliefs? I don't know why anyone ever reads something, In the end the decision is always yours no amount of knowledge you gain on the question can help you.

The instant of decision is madness.

Philosophy is a meme. You're not actually supposed to read any of it
