Jordan won the argument because language is as Derrida observed, an unending socio-historical project. The plurality it contains makes routine reference to ideal objects in order to function. All of Jordan's interlocutors are continually making appeal to some or another of these ideals, while claiming not to believe in any ideal (picrel), as atheists, which is just a euphemism for nihilists. An image of the exchange could appear as a chapter heading for "Mauvais Foi" and it would be quite fitting. Jordan's opponents would have been better served to have stripped his clothes off, ripped him to pieces, and eaten him if they wanted to "win" ("winning" is already a metaphysical idealized concept) in accord with the ethical system to which they purport to belong. Jordan still lost though because he's a faggot and a retard, and you're a faggot and a retard if you don't recognize Jubilee to be a buzzing hive of faggots and retards.
