Nice, that means you're Derrida's grandstudent? I regret to inform you that Francis Fukuyama is your estranged uncle:

He initially pursued graduate studies in comparative literature at Yale University, going to Paris for six months to study under Roland Barthes and Jacques Derrida but became disillusioned and switched to political science at Harvard University.

I can only imagine how hard Barthes must've bullied Fukuyama for being such a nerd. He had zero chill for goody two shoes types.

And yeah, i guess that makes me his grandstudent! I actually used some of his work on ethics and hospitality for my master's thesis, and it really stuck with me whenever I think about people sharing food, land, and work... hosting people or being a guest somewhere.
