Enlightenment: Fact over fiction
Modernism: The facts are the fictions
Postmodernism: There are no facts; there are no fictions
Post-Postmodernism: It’s a fact that your fictions aren’t marketable[/b]

Kant: set it free
Hegel: set it free and watch it come back
Nietzsche: set it free, watch it come back, and kill it

Monday mornings I wake up, get a cup of coffee, and reflect on
Schelling: the infinite pain of thought
Kierkegaard: the haunting creep of unbounded anxiety
Kristeva: the abject horror of knowing I’m still alive
Žižek: how best to boost my sales on Amazon

Nietzsche: the questions they pretend not to answer
Heidegger: the strength of their conviction that a question asked is a question answered

Epistemology: I know what I know
History: We know what it was
Politics: Whatever!
Then cue the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
