I figured someone has a paper due at the end of the semester (only a few weeks away) and they needed some research. I'm sure there's somewhere in the postmodern curriculum you can write about 'the speculative psychobabble of senile fucks' for college credit. A bit of a digression, but someone was telling me about an anti postmodernism academic who submitted load of gibberish to see if it got published, and it did. Not sure if that was because of his name or if it was an anomymous submission. I should find out who this guy is. |

Sokal worked in tandem with another academic, Jean Bricmont, from Belgium. They both signed the book about post-modernist intellectuals who applied to philosophy scientific concepts they misunderstood. Bricmont is a stern Chomsky supporter, with pro-Palestinian views, and he's often used in France or Belgium as a caution, or more exactly useful idiot by various anti-semitic leaders.
