@vonmallinckrodt.bsky.social Die Argumentation entlang dem Klang von Wörtern anstatt ihrer kontextuellen Bedeutung ist eher problematisch. Es gibt ein sehr empfehlenswertes Buch hierzu, das möchte ich jedem empfehlen: Eleganter #Unsinn von Alan #Sokal.

Sokal-Affäre – Wikipedia

@gwup In einigen Punkten stimme ich zu, muss aber fragen: Warum diese Kampfsprache? Warum adaptiert dieser Beitrag eine Sprache die doch sehr politisch motiviert anmutet? "woke Ideologie", "Infektion der Gehirne", "ideologische Pathogene" etc. Ist das nicht genau was #Sokal und andere kritisieren? Die Verwendung von wissenschaftlichen Begriffen aus Disziplinen ausserhalb des Kompetenzbereichs des Autoren, einem Philosophen? Begeht die #GWUP nicht genau den Fehler, den sie eigentlich kritisiert?
Also after reading several complaints on how last installment in Syberia series is too woke and too gay I finally gave in and brought "The World Before". For me the first Syberia was pivotal experience in my gaming life, so... we'll see. I'll try not to expect too much from it.

I did not expect to learn that #Amerzone is going to have a remake. I thought it was too little known, too niche. Fingers crossed the remake will be any good. Original was very on the short side, there is a room for expansion, if it is done honoring the source. Sokal's games used to be a big thing for me once.

Ce n'est pas un bel hommage à Benoît #Sokal que je vais rendre ici, mais j'ai toujours été extrêmement insensible à ces jeux d'aventure français des années 90 pourtant très beaux (à part #Dune évidemment, le GOAT). Sauf que comme tout le monde les a achetés, et que beaucoup de gens les ont revendus, on se retrouve forcément un jour, quand on collectionne un peu les #bigbox, propriétaire d'un ou deux exemplaires presque par accident. #videogames #pcgaming #jeuxvideo #retrogaming

> #AlanSokal laid siege to postmodern theory with a Trojan horse.. #Sokal wrote a deliberately preposterous academic paper called “Transgressing the Boundaries: Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity.” He filled it with the then trendy jargon of “critical theory,” and submitted it to a prominent journal of cultural studies called Social Text.

#ChatGPT had the ground prepared for it by the #BullshitOfAmbition in #PublishOrPerish organizations?

> #Stapel confessed that he had made up many of his results... was led astray by “a quest for aesthetics, for beauty—instead of the truth,” and also by ambition. To actually run the experiment would have been to run the risk that a disordered environment has no effect on racial attitudes—a “null finding” that would mean he’d wasted his time, because journals aren’t usually interested in experiments that don’t prove something new.
