This chapter is the absurd transcription of a declassified interview between French feminist Medusan poststructuralist philosopher Hélène Cixous and far-right SCOTUS Justice Amy Coney Barrett on Day 2 of Her Confirmation Hearings Before the United States Senate. It opens with a python and climaxes with a metamorphic conflagration, following a brief prelude about absurdism, nihilism, Marxism, feminism, and the clown tyrants of unending class struggle.
