A professor of mine went to go hear Derrida speak once. The entire talk was about cows; everyone was flummoxed but listened carefully, and took notes about...cows. There was a short break, and when Derrida came back, he was like, “I’m told it is pronounced ‘chaos.’”

If this story is not true, it should be.
As the great philosopher Mason Williams once observed, "Who needs truth if it's dull."
Full disclosure, I am not a fan of post-modernist philosophy
