what happens if I just use t.s. eliot’s ‘whispers of immortality’ lines: “but our lot crawls between dry ribs/ To keep our metaphysics warm.” pasted repeatedly to fill the 20,000 word count of my dissertation?
with the final paragraph being an in depth analysis and the titles of each chapter are relevant to the whole thesis/ just present the main super interesting points that i can’t fit in the chapter?
AND each paragraph like is in the shape of something relevant
or the entire text is actually just an elaborate analysis of that snippet and at the end i’m like, “you read through this whole thing and are marking it legitimately as a dissertation piece for a masters degree called modern liberal arts and all i wrote about was this one smidgen of one text. If that doesn’t prove the end of metaphysics while simultaneously proving its consistence because WHOLE analysis = WHOLE meta-analysis i.e. metaphysics. i.e. philosophy. then NOTHING WILL”
and then draw a picture of me awkward smiling, but like REALLY accurately.
I think it’d work. I think it’d work a HECK of a lot better than what i’ve currently got going on
