Lol Sokal is a moron who doesn't actually know what postmodernism is. Are you someone who believes that his work is actually legitimate research?

> The post-modernists are obscurantist charlatans who en masse form an institution that demands attention rather than the quick dismissal like one would give a rambling bum on the street.

Yes, like any legitimate discipline of proper research.

> You are confusing its nebulousness for profundity.

Where you see a nebulous blob, experts see an ordered set of ideas. Similar to when an engineer sees a bridge as a series of forces and structures designed to mitigate them, or as when a chemist understands complex chemical formulas while a layperson may see a somewhat disordered series of letters and numbers.

Something isn't wrong just because you don't understand it.

No, I'm saying that you're conflating atheism with being an arrogant moron.

No man, the texts are available, go read them. It takes time, effort and respect towards the perspectives of others to actually understand how complex things work, such as theories about human mind and social order.

Would you encourage someone with no experience in chemistry to start mixing chemicals without understanding potentially dangerous effects? Would you encourage someone who is not an engineer to construct a bridge without adequate preparation and planning? Experts can be authoritative because their experience grants them the ability to know better than non-experts in their respective fields.
