But from 50 years in this game, I have learned two things: (1) I can ask friends who work in these areas to explain it to me at a level that I can understand, and they can do so, without particular difficulty; (2) if I&#8217;m interested, I can proceed to learn more so that I will come to understand it. Now Derrida, Lacan, Lyotard, Kristeva, etc. &#8212; even Foucault, whom I knew and liked, and who was somewhat different from the rest &#8212; write things that I also don&#8217;t understand, but (1) and (2) don&#8217;t hold: no one who says they do understand can explain it to me and I haven&#8217;t a clue as to how to proceed to overcome my failures. That leaves one of two possibilities: (a) some new advance in intellectual life has been made, perhaps some sudden genetic mutation, which has created a form of &#8220;theory&#8221; that is beyond quantum theory, topology, etc., in depth and profundity; or (b) &#8230; I won&#8217;t spell it out.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I stumbld upon this: http:\/\/richarddawkins.net\/articles\/823 It seems lejit i.e., not a hoex.
