Breakfast With Dave

a satire over people who think they know too much...

If you describe cornflakes as an analogy for the

lumpenproletariat, add milk, then ergo you have

Hegel`s dialectical materialism.

Of course, I don`t want to get too epistemological

about this, but isn`t it a case of reification ?

But who cares - I`m beyond thymos, and

in any case, Marcuse would call me one dimensional,

nothing true in a false system, so why don`t we de-ideologise

breakfast. Another cup of tea mate ?

Author's Note

I wrote this after reading some articles in a very intellectual newspaper. But I even hope
it makes sense...

Very creative and clever word gymnastics
but enjoyable anyway!!

[Allen Smuckler]

wha' happened
Too complex for me....It was like reading Chaucer...looking up every other word...
Were they all real? Or Mugsy of the Dead End Gang
I guess I'm not one of those people...but it sure made me want to have a snack.
Humerous write on pomposterous people
