He isn't answering the question of "Being" but rather explaining how he would approach the question. This is exactly what I needed. It's so simple, but our brains go for the most complex way to address our existential angst and get lost in the thought. Thank you, Mr. Derrida.

This is excellent. I love the way Derrida thinks. He has the unique ability to really get at that essential thing. The great thing is: it is accessible to anybody.
-
this video shows how deeply he is influenced by Levinas, the trace, the violence of language (the said) and so on, are themes of Levinas's philosophy

Thinker way ahead of his time 🙏

Fuck yeah, that's awesome, thanks (a dozen years later... yow). That's an outtake? Jesus, that's the most I've ever felt like I understood what my man is up to. Thanks again to the past you that is something other than the modified present you. ;)

"Blame everything on Plato and the rest of get away with the whole she-bang." (No doubt)

"So then, his ideas are correct as pre-conception, but untrue as examined, conceived of, or iterated by voice." (Irony)
-
"Who's ideas?" (Plato)
-
"Why? Your ideas, dear Sir." (Irony)

This sums up the whole Derrida thing. Read The question concerning technology and there you have Derrida.

L'effect

Poor Derrida, he must've been an overthinker who can't sleep, sometimes it's more efficient to understand and see the truth when you just believe without questioning too much. Reality is of a major question itself rather than the existence or being, the best thing to do is just to be a believer.

Derrida has no ontological understanding of Being becuase Derrida is without Dasein as we witness 'here' with Derrida not being 'there'. Derrida has no presence of the present unable to be present unable to come to presence: Being is not 'interpreted' as Presence: Being is Presenve.
