I am not sure why you are sending me these excerpts. I have already said, I don't find them helpful, or even interesting, albeit they are in places a bit poetic, I guess. It seems like a non sequitur from the original essay and it's questions, ...

What can I say - if changing the world depends on movement participants reading merleau ponty - we are doomed. If there is something in merleau ponty, and not elsewhere, that is very important, fine, very good, but then abram or someone else needs...

Frist, I am not sure a person inside the schools of thought I was addressing, say the author of the piece I posted, would even recognize this as closely related, much less part and parcel. Sceond, I agree it is not nearly as obscure as the piece ...

I am not even sure the piece I inserted above is part of the post modern school - which is, however, certainly full of horrible texts. See some of my and others essays on that topic - mine are on znet.... This was suggested to me as an example of...

I believe I said if it was in plain language, we would find simple truths dolled up, meaningless material, and some errors. But it isn't in plain language...and so i asked for some to explain it. Until that is done, I simply can't understand it....

Thanks for passing along. Interesting. To add force, it would help to apply the test to other scholars. Imagine disfiguring a basic Chomsky quote about linguistics. Anyone familiar with his thought would be able to spot the fraudulent quote a mile...

Hi Mäkinen. Interestingly, what you describe is not all that different from my "imposter test" described prior to your follow-up remarks. Your professor's comments about writing that "feels professional" seems...

One more thought. Perhaps one could perform an "imposter test." Here's what it would entail: 1) Start with an individual who is entirely unfamiliar with all the typical jargon associated with the post-modern style. 2) Take a...

My view is that to "frame" parecon in such nonsense is to reduct it to just that. Imagine what it would take to transform a passage on parecon in order for it to conform with such an approach. You'd have to peform the f...

Hi... Can you give me some kind of indication of what it means to frame parecon or parsoc properly in the academic context....maybe an example of doing so?
