We are in the Allegiant stadium in LasVegas for the Superbowl LVIII
Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers are on the field. It's after the national anthem sung by Reba McEntire, and Brock Purday, the Captain and quarterback, is about to call the toss.
The three philosophers are sitting in the Premium Lounge on the side of the Chiefs.
M. Foucault: Sorry guys, but this brings back great memories of when I did LSD in the desert. The Super Bowl in Las Vegas, what a trip!
N. Chompsky: Michel, we know you're a sucker for institutions. What difference is there between the power of a prison and the Super Bowl?
J. Derida: Both of you need a little "différence". Put off that immediate Super Bowl blasting experience. Just because millions are watching, cheerleaders are high-kicking, and Tay-Tay is in the stands -back from her Japan concert- please gentlemen, keep your mental faculties.
N. Chompsky: Jacques, you're so anti-French I could kiss you. Everything is "post" with you: post-structuralist, postcultural, postscience. What the fuck, Jacques, "postfuckingfootball"? We are here now and the game is about to start!
M. Foucault: You may be right Noel, but take a look from an archeological perspective: the nobel Aztecs played a pole climbing event that included greasing the pole to make it more difficult. The losing team was either sacrifices or imprisoned. Now that's excitement. *
N. Chompsky: Indeed, you are a fan of prison and the vector of power they represent
M. Foucault : -and the power of the word!
N. Chompsky: and the power of the word. But listen to Jacques: are we not imprisoned by cheerleaders, advertising, adversarial hype, and Tay Tay?
J. Derida: Hey guys, did you see? Purdy won the toss. San Francisco is kicking off.
M. Foucault: Jacques, where did u put the LSD?
*In the 60s Foucault published "Les Mots et les Choses", which explored how football banter through history, was the basis of truth in scientific discourse.
