Geertz in conversation with Derrida

I think this is an interesting perspective on Geertz's thoughts of Merton's center. An individual's thoughts help to create a center as thoughts are fluid and a person's creativity knows no bounds. However, the problem is that there will always be a larger social structure or center within society that helps to guide a person's thoughts and possibly restricting it's 'play' in some way. For example, for an isolated individual that has never seen or heard of a computer will not be able to create a system of thought that relates to advanced machinery for a person's thoughts is arguably mostly related to what one knows and experienced in the past. The process of creating a new center is definitely not impossible, but very rare and unlikely.
