Somewhat related: I love to ask philosophers which philosopher they think is the most different from the "standard/received" version of them that gets taught to undergrads. Personally I think it's Leibniz.

Watched this with family recently because we confused it with "Lost in Space." We waited the entire movie for the robot to say "Danger Will Robinson!"

In antiquity, in order to make a novel contribution you had to attribute it to Plato.

Thank you! This does seem very close to what I had in mind. I read this Barthes essay in undergrad a long time ago, so maybe that's what I'm remembering. But in any case, this is helpful!

Terry Eagleton uses it in his book Literary Theory (1983). But is he getting it from somewhere? I have a vague memory of Derrida himself using the dictionary example, but I can't find a citation so I could be wrong.

If Guattari lived long enough to see, for instance, browser cookies, "the algorithm," "dataveillance," the current digitized stock market, what credit scores have become, etc. he'd lose his mind.

Imagine, in the 60s and 70s, already being able to see that history will no longer be made by individuals but instead by autonomously functioning systems of information–financial, cultural, ecological, technical–that we will all be subjected to and shaped by. That's what Guattari saw.

When I was a kid I spontaneously made myself a sandwich like this. Sharp cheese and raw onion on a bun. My mom was not impressed.

Chandler's Semiotics: The Basics gives a good systematic overview with great bibliographies for each chapter. If you're looking for a more literary theory/cultural studies into, I like Kaja Silverman's The Subject of Semiotics, but it's very of its moment (1984).

He's really just saying that people are different, and it depends on how you look at it, and we need to take a nuanced approach
