it means to internalize your consciousness fully - to embrace and question and live every aspect of our perspective; this both removes a personal drive for domination (i.e. oppressive or controlling power structures) as we are autonomous and realize just how radically different we all are, and removes the ability of others to truly control us - if we embrace ourselves via our virtues we will be neither stubborn/idealogical nor weak enough to let feelings we don't truly believe envelop us.
deconstruction starts with "me" - only when we are truly individual can we begin to associate with one another on a compassionate level that operates outside of selfish motives (e.g. capitali trade for use-value and labor) and relate to one another as individually operating expressions of an infinitely unique self.
Today it means ourselves, and tomorrow the world!!
I agree with Ian, about individuality and self expression as the origin of radicality, but don't think it's everything. Today my complit prof said it was acting against dominant ideology, but that seems reductionist.

WHOOOOO! DISCUSSION!
Time is nothing! Don't measure things just so that you know when they end. Scientists are cool though.
