I studied philosophy from 2002 to 2006. Back then post structuralist theory was all the rage. Some people told us that it is word play that obscured all progress. It took me years to realise this was actually the case. There was something so alluring to it. Such a waste of times, I could have become an engineer.
For me, it was English but ten years earlier. Yes, all that theoretical "truth" was intoxicating and, to a point, fun to work with in papers, but I grew out of it and got smarter after I learned to see how in thrall my professors were to their own power to "deconstruct," sling sarcasm at males, etc. Good riddance.
Claiming to be an intellectual while being suspicious of meaning is a contradiction of terms, or as we actual intellectuals like to call it, a goddamned lie.
They have whole courses on gender studies, feminism, sexuality , racism... that are complete gibberish like her statement. It's worse than you imagine.
They are so worried that people will twist what they say, that they use ,,Kamala-speak ,, to avoid unequal outcomes that might spark debate because peoples' minds are so twisted out of shape by the Kamala word salada, that their minds seek release in an antidote, namely in someone who is plain speaking and doesn't stop to decipher word salad, which is so questionable or call it debatable, that all it can do is to confuse, confound and confuse the the real issues that could make a difference if really identified and addressed with issues that people don't have control over in real time, not did they in the past, like where and to whom one is born, one's gender, race, ethnicity, the wider cultures, socio-economic background, religion or not, talent or not. The world would be absolutely dull without being free to appreciate these differences that are real instead of creating differences that are fake to gaslight people into submitting to a phoney and indefensibly stupid state controlled narrative.
When someone speaks in a complicated and convoluted way its because what they're saying is complete nonsense. A good idea needs only simple words and expressions to be recognized, the word salad's only purpose is to obscure the fact that nothing of value or meaning is being said.
I don't think so. I think it's because many of them want to make an innovative art of their commentary and field. Spice it up. Without that world salad, you are correct that there is little of value being said, and it is performative, but it's not nonsense because of its style.
Imagine if the topnotch physicists of the old changed the definition of physical quantities every now and then, physics could not have reached this far.
She's arguing against Being having structure, a nihilist proposal for Brute Fact. She has nothing of value to offer, as she is, even relative to her own anti-model.
I came across a great phrase in a Telegraph (London) article: “… the pointless obscurity of academic prose.” That fits Prof. Ronell. It's all just meaningless (but self-serving) drivel.
I'm a Postmodernist and let me deconstruct this for you in plain everyday English. The "smartest " man of the 2oth Century said, "If you can't explain it to a 6-year-old, you don't understand it enough." - Albert Einstein I have studied philosophy from Socrates to Derrida and Foucault. Deconstructed, Avita Rondel is completely unconscious that she is just saying, "My words have no meaning". I have applied Einstein's Maxim to all of my study of Philosophy and there is indeed a very special magic in a Postmodern world view. However, these post-Structuralists and infantile mass media academic postmodernists can't explain anything simply. And they are indeed "The Emperor has no clothes on" frauds! I realize that I'm a lone voice in defense of Postmodernism (Capital "P"). I don't mind being a huge fan of Janet Fiamingo and a Postmodernist. But waiting two months waiting for a new video micro-hurts. Please don't apply modernist assumptions about my politics on me. I have my own way of looking at the world as everyone does. And it's impossible to force everyone to think just like yourself or myself. It's a wasted emotional, labor and resource intensive Modernist goal that never ever works. The universal "Us vs. Them" ideological dynamic is a distinguishing characteristic of Modernism. Yes, dating back to Paul. In fact, Modern was the Ancient Latin word, "Moderni". Infantile postmodernists go on and on about eliminating "binary thinking" about gender, but they never apply it to politics nor ideology. Perhaps, someone else may think differently than me? The Modernist is caught in their own solipsistic thoughts. They can't imagine why anyone would think differently than themselves. To the Modernist, everyone who thinks differently is an "idiot". Oh God, we're surrounded by Modernists.
That thing that she says can’t be grasped or explicated is known by another name. This is called Magnum, Mysterium, and biblical scholars, church, church organist, church, church choir, parishioners, go to Christian churches, no what this phrase means there is a reason it is called Magnum. It is because it cannot be known and that is what we have to live with and accept.

Balanced, scathing assessment. Well done. Thanks for your work highlighting the downside of a victim culture.

Kamala
It is a sign of a person that pushes too hard to sound smart. Never heard truly smart person spoke like that.
Excellent analysis. Superb commentary. Can you tell that I agree with you? Great video.
INTELLECTUAL: A person who has been educated BEYOND his or her intelligence.
My question is:
If there are PopTarts, why isn't there MomTarts?
Must be because of the Pastryarchy.
That is an underrated comment.
Thanks

I would like to see a debate between Janice and Eric Dyson
Was there anything left of him after Jordan Peterson and Stephen Fry got finished??
From the facts presented, Reitman reads as a coward and a user who would rather be seen and sheltered as a victim.
Guess how you read...
