did not like it

Foucault, who was mentally unstable, tells us that there is no such thing as individual human agency except when we're lovingly embracing the slimy tendrils of "power". But "power" can't be defined because it's just out there slithering around for humans to use, even though it's an abstract concept. Oh yeah, and everything that' I'm writing right now is because I've (un)con)science)sciously submitted to the ruling authority of the keyboard, because the dominion of typing, which I will(fully) become the serpentine slave of, is part of an apparatus of discipline (disciple) which tells my hands what to do and by extension (existension) my soul, whatever that is, I'm not supposed to know, just Foucault.
