Summary
In Archive Fever, Derrida discusses the nature and function of the archive, particularly in Freudian terms and in light of the death drive. The book also contains discussions of Judaism and Jewish identity and of electronic technology such as e-mail.[2]
gollark: Good enough for what? And again, god is omnipotent; it is entirely possible to know the answer without actually creating a world and having people do things and then *torturing them* because they were unlucky enough to get a bad environment.
gollark: What is being tested? *Why*?
gollark: Oh, and cancer. Why do we get cancer? Whales don't get cancer.
gollark: An omnipotent engineer-god could just not do that.
gollark: There's the entire thing with the appendix, our eyes are *backward* (light sensing bit below the nerves carrying data out), some nerves and such are routed inefficiently.
