Remember kids: the more obtuse your language is (and the more you [i]reference[/i] ideas instead of discussing them) the longer you get to keep getting paid for being a worthless philosophy professor!
(Most of) the pretentiousness edited out:

What I found particularly compelling were the arguments in favor of interpreting the struggle for the propagation of libertarian values as, in part, a dialectical struggle between sexuality and conservative/ascetic values which is in turn a manifestation of the constant usurpation and evolution of culture as result of its internal contradictions overcoming themselves.[/quote]
Further simplified:
[quote]
I thought the idea that the push we see for a libertarian society is actually an argument to establish the true place of sexuality in our society, and that this is just another example of us correcting our older ideas (such as that the roles given by sexuality are an absolute) was interesting.[/quote]

Thank you. Now that I understand what OP tried (and failed mostly) to explain...I agree with him!

Edited by die wily: 8/9/2013 2:32:26 AMActually, if you had a grounding in the general style of Lacan's psychoanalytic interpretations of topologies you'd see that the OP, much like a work of Mozart, contains neither too many notes nor too few.

Somebody's sucking Eternal Way's cock! And I find it fitting that you mentioned Mozart, seeing as how he was considered pretentious and childish himself in his time.

[quote]If one examines libertarianism, one is faced with a choice: either accept predialectic theory or conclude that sexuality, perhaps ironically, has objective value. Thus, many narratives concerning a self-falsifying whole exist. In Models, Inc., Spelling deconstructs the postcultural paradigm of consensus; in The Heights he reiterates the cultural paradigm of reality. In the works of Spelling, a predominant concept is the concept of neotextual culture. In a sense, a number of theories concerning neotextual capitalism may be revealed. Sontag uses the term ‘libertarianism’ to denote the role of the participant as poet. Thus, Tilton holds that we have to choose between the postcultural paradigm of consensus and constructive premodernist theory. Neotextual capitalism suggests that truth may be used to reinforce elitist perceptions of sexual identity. Therefore, if libertarianism holds, the works of Spelling are not postmodern. Derrida uses the term ‘neotextual capitalism’ to denote the absurdity, and subsequent fatal flaw, of textual class. It could be said that Pickett holds that we have to choose between libertarianism and postconceptualist appropriation. Foucault suggests the use of capitalist dematerialism to attack capitalism. Therefore, if libertarianism holds, we have to choose between neotextual capitalism and the subpatriarchial paradigm of expression. Sartre uses the term ‘the postcultural paradigm of consensus’ to denote a mythopoetical paradox. [/quote]

You simply don't understand....

But there's no explanation why, of course. If you can't communicate your ideas, why should I believe that even you understand them?
-
Do you react this way when confronted with quantum physics, or real analysis?
-
If someone told me "you simply don't understand" and left it at that, yes, I would. Anyone can cite references and point to other people's work: if you can't be bothered to put any effort into explaining what you're trying to say, you might as well just post a link to wikipedia.
