    So I feel obliged to ask:

    Have you ever tried to read - let alone understand - Martin Heidegger? Hegel
    and Kant are sluring idiots and illiterate punk rockers compiling nothing
    but four-letter-words compared to the high quality nonsense of Heidegger.
    But I guess, you really have to be born and raised with German language to
    be able to sincerely laugh about Heidegger's attempts to explain the
    short-cicuits in his own neural network.
