Derrida

I really feel like Derrida lost me by being so wordy. Maybe he does have something to say, but than why not talk straight to the point? It reminded me of all these people I used to know that thought they were intelligent because they could turn a five word sentence into a fifteen word plus run-on. It's like saying: " I am, without a doubt in my mind, the smartest most intelligent pupil in the known NorthWest and beyond" While Derrida's credentials probably outweigh my own and he may well have something brilliant to say, why make it unreachable? Nothing is gained by speaking to a select few intellectuals. I'm not saying dumb it down, I'm saying don't try to impress me. Don't try to be edgy by putting up all these road blocks to understanding you. If you have something to say, cut it down to the base of what needs to be said. Reading shouldn't be a chore in my opinion.
LESS IS MORE.
