I “earnestly engaged” with it by doing a humanities degree 20 years ago when this stuff was taking root.
The only field that seems resistant to being overwhelmed by it is history, possibly because the scholarship must be grounded in original sources.

No, it really isn't, and virtually no one who earnestly engages with the thinkers in question would come away thinking that.
