pimpin' da post-modernists

[jolly]

"Why also is it every time I hear "ad hominem" I tend
also to hear a rather less latinate backlash as well?"
 
Why is it when I hear  post-modernist  boys of letters such as you belch I tend to practice my right jab? 

 

"You tell us, Sir Karl Pooper.  They need to?   Maybe I
ought to have taken one for the team and covered that
Farina intro at that, but I've barely been able to

Naw, deep thinker.  You tell me, Monsewer Derriereda,  whether you are consistently anti-logocentric, and thus refusing to make use of your car, computer, light switch, bridges, doctors, etc.   
 
Postmodernist readings of Pynchon miss a great deal of what the novels are about.  Derrida provides no guide to  understanding thermodynamics or chaos theory, for example. Did you read Pynchon's essay on the Luddites and note his favorable mentioning of CP Snow 's "Two Cultures"? Start there.
