I get extremely suspicious of people when I discover that there's some guy whose work they're super into and have made the foundation of their personal philosophy. I do this even if the guy is someone whose work I like, and even if they're someone I like personally.
Ofc if it's something unfamiliar *enough* I have to do the jamming thing. Like every time I try and read Derrida I spend the whole time trying to reinterpret him as something I actually understand

I don't think it's necessarily jamming so much as... analogising, looking at things from different angles, trying things from different perspectives, and using conflicts to highlight points of confusion, etc. I don't expect things to fit so much as illuminate each other.

OK that sounds better. I still like to hold off doing too much of those things for a while, but they are very useful
