what is the ehh.. "credits" soundtrack?

I have no clue what Foucalt is saying like 90% of the time.

That's about how much time either would get in today's mass media.

Brilliant!

@Franticalmagic It is poking fun of the idea of "human nature" but that's not the ONLY thing this video is doing.
-
@DaveElectric Chomsky says "a fundamental element of human nature" at which they both fall about laughing.
The video is joining in with the theme that human nature is a ridiculous abstraction for which there is no justification. A common sentiment in post-structuralists like Foucault all the way back to the early modern existentialists like Satre.

@Franticalmagic Actually it is otherwise there would be no point in making a "in 5 seconds" video of it. If it was easily digestable this video woudn't exist. The intent of this video is obvious to anyone who read the transcript. It is obscure and pretentious reading by any standard.
That was only three seconds! This is an outrage!
