The Power of Deconstruction
Darrida: Deconstruction is when you pause it, let's see you have a binary. The binary is hot and cold. How do I know what hot is unless I have a measurement of coldness from which to compare it? For someone in Canada for instance, having it be 10 or 11 degrees in January might be pretty hot whereas someone in Florida that'd be freezing cold. So these terms are relative but we must recognize that the only way we have any purchase on what either is is by knowing what the other is as well.
