ME: Whenever you speak of Aristotle, I don’t recognize Aristotle.
Whenever you speak of Hegel, I don’t recognize Hegel.
Whenever you speak of Marx, I don’t recognize Marx.
Whenever you speak of Heidegger, I don’t recognize Heidegger.
Whenever you speak of Eldred, I don’t recognize Eldred.
Would seem to indicate that you-and-I exist only in a mode of privation.
