They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.-- Benjamin Franklin October 28, 2002Marxism and Quantum PhysicsI can't believe I haven't head about this, but apparently, in 1996, Alan Sokal, a physicist at NYU, wrote an article titled "Transgressing the Boundaries: Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity", in which he parodied cultural studies, postmodernism, and so on, writing a paper full of gibberish using dozens of Marxist, Socialist and other "Post-Modern" writers. The hillarious thing is that he actually got the paper published in a peer-review journal, "Social Text" -- which as you might imagine, is full of such postmodern crap.
