Huh? Are we being Sokal'd?

ETA: Oh, right, April Fool's. Nice use of a top-level post.

Nothing on the internet can be trusted on April 1st. I brought a book so I could still have something to do while at work.

For a minute there I actually thought you were serious about reading a book

That's an interesting question. The Sokal affair happened due to lack of peer review before publishing the paper. In this case, I can publish anything I want until I get about 2200 downvotes (or 220 downvotes on articles). Of course, this would require people to have at least 2200 karma collectively devoted to downvoting me in order to accomplish this.

That said, I think the topic of neodeconstructive rationalism deserves at least as much 'serious thought' here as semiotic postcontextualism.
