Derrida should have been a Tibetan Buddhist. He probably would not have written as many philosophical stuff as he has thought.
Most of Western Philosophy cruxes on the notion of the static, inherently existing "self", or the "I". Derridian thoughts, as much as it does a brilliant job playing around with the eternal fluctuation of that static "I" or "presence", that line of thinking also falls heavily on the preconcieved notion of "I".
What's wrong with being too philosophically hung up about "I"? Take a look at how much crap there is about "self-confidence" vs. "low self-esteem", about "identity", and "individuality"....Teenagers up to Tweens and early thirties spend SO much time trying to establish their fragile ego's when it really is a waste of time.
Who cares "who you are"? You're never the same one moment to the next. So don't be so self-conscious and just live with a mindset of doing what makes other people happy.
