Welcome to Substack! Having now listened to ~250 hours 😆 of your discussion of The Politics of Education, this was the most impactful chapter. Considered alongside your 5-part series from AZ, it illuminates, not only the cynical march through Gramsci's "religious ISA", but also a deeper, more ancient gnostic/hermetic belief system. Chilling.
Question about another angle on this: I encountered a group of Christian Deconstructionists who claimed they were simply examining (problematizing) their faith. When I expressed concerns about questioning "Truth", refusing to recognize authority, incorporating privilege/oppression dialectic to the church, and the incompatibility of Derrida's ideology with Christian Faith, they said "we don't know who this 'Derrida' dude is, but just because he stole our word, doesn't mean we agree with him" 🤦🏻♂️
Would love your take on Christian Deconstructionism. Would you do a podcast on it?
