And another grotesque piece on "postmodernism as the root of everything I don't like", this time by @HPluckrosehttps://areomagazine.com/2017/03/27/how-french-intellectuals-ruined-the-west-postmodernism-and-its-impact-explained/ …
I'm having to block people telling me what I really mean & why it makes me evil or stupid. Too many of them & they all disagree.

Sorry, the text is bad. I'd liked to read good arguments against postmodernism. But I am fed up with all the misrepresentations.

OK, well carry on pretending that my argument is that pomo is responsible for all the things I hate then.Much easier to argue with

An effective critic on a theory cannot start with a misrepresentation (that's actually something Sokal did)…

…Sokal quoted Deleuze selectively and accused him (in short) of writing nonsense that might be on 19th century math at best.

Fact: In this text, Deleuze discussed Maimon's critic on Kant from 1790… Sokal "forgot" to mention that.

Long story short: Noone should ever quote Sokal's book again. It's just a very obvious strawman.
