This is symptomatic of the postmodernist nonsense that Sokal pointed out.<p>1. Politicising what ought to be science: &quot;What Sokal’s confession most altered was our perception of his own good faith as a self-declared leftist&quot;.<p>2. Claiming that people outside the field are unable to understand that it&#x27;s drivel: &quot;To attempt to speak ill of a field you know little about and yet still find to be trivial or unrigorous is puzzilingly tactless and embarrassingly presumptuous&quot;.<p>3. Pulling up the smoke screen that truth is subjective: &quot;We tend to have a natural search for truth as scientists...one of the fundamental questions though is what is meant by truth and, further, what is the interrelationship between a truth and the context in which it is observed?&quot;<p>4. Using scientific terms in a nonsensical way: &quot;the social sciences is closer to the quantum domain&quot;<p>Postmodernism is a blight upon the human intellect that is not only destroying the social sciences but increasingly also politics.
