      The de- of deconstruction signifies not the demolition of what is constructing itself, but rather what remains to be thought beyond the constructionist or destructionist schema.

      Put another way by Derrida:

      But undoing, decomposing and de-sedimenting of structures was not a negative operation.

      Doesn't sound like you're doing any deconstruction to me!

        Yeah, what "remains to be thought beyond" is called the Information Operations Center of the CIA

        But undoing, decomposing and de-sedimenting of structures was not a negative operation.

        Mf that's geology not philosophy, "negative operation" what kind of happy-go-lucky magical nonsense is this

          Deconstruction is indeed a kind of magical geology, a dark necromancy that elevates the precense in a way many consider unnatural, a kind of infinite becoming, always to arrive, attempting to halt this movement of "time" and examine the structures inside the object or idea. :barthes-shining:
