ADHD, a live example:

"There is so much Bergsonian metaphysics inside of Symbolism...there is so much of Haeckel's world-riddle and phylogenetic concept re: the fundamental unity of life, and also James's Principles of Psychology inside of Bergsonian metaphysics...no wonder the Symbolists loved phrenology and race-science armchair psych so much...wait that 90s French theorist my professor cited who coined the term 'weak thought' describes it as 'interpretation,' i.e., obligate agnosticism as antithesis to Knowledge, that's just Bergson's intuition and the absolute but slightly more historicized because this guy posits it as a response to the uncertainty and instability of WWI, Stefania already did that in Korzenie, I was literally writing about it the other day--the interpretation/absolute knowledge framework, in dialectical tension, embodied as Jungian archetypes and assorted capital-S Symbols--and she spent time in a Bergsonian salon in Paris during the 20s--oh my fucking gd I think she knew Maurice Maeterlinck, she wrote about the Blue Bird and she lifts a phrase from one of his monographs verbatim, a technical term, fuck me--we need a field of study where we get together and figure out what the blorbos from our research were reading, Jesus Christ--did you know Bergson's great-grandmother or grandmother or something was involved in the OG Hasidic movement and another of his relatives rebelled in the name of Stanisław August? Real classic Polish/Jewish pedigree. Mayakovsky was right, though, in 1927 when he said praising Paris is gosudarstvennoe delo and Polish people should be looking away from France, fuck France, look at the French emigration--!"
