	4	+====We begin our discussion with Franz Kafka's "A Report for an Academy". Red Peter, an ape who obtained human capacity, gives a report to an academy of scientists in 1917: ====

	11	+====Universities are defined by prestige and elitism, ordering themselves according to arbitrary rankings, grandiose self-perception, and the market economy. "A Report to an Academy" highlights this alienating bureaucracy, which has intimately tied education to the production of exclusionary cultural norms. Red Peter's transition from savage to academic is a form of cultural death, predicated on a relentless drive for false progress that equates materialist exchange to cultural meaning. This spectacle of technological expertise is imposed upon society by Academia which has become a defining structure of modernity, while masking any critique as "uncultured" and "unaware of tradition".====

	22	+====Structures of domination are predicated on dynamic systems of power which are produced by societal normativity. Subversion is therefore founded not in purely philosophical or political critique, but instead in the practice of producing bodily ethics and actionable methods of liberation. Parrhesia, in contrast to modes of engagement predicated on hierarchical dynamics such as the teacher who espouses tradition, forefronts the singularity of an open, internal, and personal speech. This enables a joyfully cynical questioning from a non-dominant perspective that speaks truth regardless of the powers that be. ====

	33	+====Ethical deliberation is founded in internal spirituality and self-affirmative vitalism. Practices of liberation begin with personal ascetic wills to mutate our anthropologically constitutive structures such as our rituals, praxis, and culture. Investigations of society must begin with developing an internal spiritual framework that propagates externally into transformational practices while deconstructing limiting ones. ====

	42	+
	43	+====Systems of power are tools that can either be used for good or manipulated for exploitation, as power is not absolute but rather fluid in its nature. Intellectuals have a particularly crucial role to play in terms of the restricting of criticism and history given their position within society. Acting alongside rather than evaluating transcendentally is crucial to critical praxis that can produce effective resistance. ====
