GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL: Here I am, ready to donate millions of dollars to the worthy cause of disease research.

NIHILIST POSTMODERNIST FRENCHMAN: Everything is subjective! The body is just a text! You can feel better if you think hard enough!

GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL: Oh, well I guess I'll just donate to anti-abortion groups.

    I am probably being too generous and assuming they're worried about science that saves lives, instead of just being worried Luce Irigay will stomp on their new iPhone.

    'Luce Irigaray stomping on technology made by SCIENCE' is actually a niche porn genre popular with the French postmodernist community
  • stomping on new iphones is always fun though

    I'm sure you already knew that
    and my phone isn't rooted anyway

    Postmodernism is weird. #understatement I'm sure
  • also, clarification
