  1. AN EMBELLISHED ENCORE PRESENTATION

    I must confess a sorry fact.
    
I comprehend not the Abstract.

    And though today it is the fashion,
    
I have for it no hint of passion.
    
If you think this makes me stupid,
    
I might just concur with you, kid,
    For, Alas! I am no Euclid!

  2. Don't feel bad. I posted it so that I could spend some more time learning it. I need to re-read the chapter in Zizek's "The Sublime Object if Ideology"
