>literally make shit up
>get accepted in a humanities journal
> people get butthurt and try to make excuses

This is the general problem with humanities...you can bullshit alot with buzzwords and obscurification and people will accept it

try this shit and STEM and you will get laughed the fuck out
>>
>>8802967
Happened like a month ago, lad
>>
>>8802981
yes and it got filtered out by scientists that tried to repeat the experiment....

their is no mechanism like that in the humanities...no one knew Sokal's paper was Bullshit until he said it
>>
>>8802988
That's nice, dear
>>
>>8802993
you mad...

your probably a humanities cuck, can't wait to see your groundbreaking paper

"The whiteness of Neoliberal Capitalist Heteronormative Bodies in Non-Binary Hyperreality constructions"

should be a winner
>>
>>8803006
You may be on the wrong board, m8
>>
>>8803025
yeah, this board is only for poor pseuds who fantasize about getting published, not people who actually understand things like math and logic
>>
>>8803028
Thanks for stopping by at least. I'm sure your rationality and logic is better appreciated somewhere else.

Sorry to disappoint you

>>8803039


so do you think these papers are "enlightening"

>>8803045
It's the Jews, isn't it?

Can you help me understand what they're doing to us? Sorry, I am not -- as a humanities 'cuck' -- all too familiar with rationality, logic, and evidence.

Would sincerely like an objective and true enlightening response from a scientific-minded and cognitively superior critically thinking being, i.e. someone redpilled.

>>8803067
What are you even talking about?

I guess science must be bullshit then as well since nonsense gets published, even with peer-review.

>>8802988
Some people thought it was bullshit IIRC.
>>
>>8803045
Those are definitely some bad papers.
>>
Postmodernism is a load of shit, but so is bioinformatics, so we're even. But seriously, check out reproducibility rates before you come over here flaunting the superiority of your fields.
>>
>peer review
why?
>>
Except that's not really what happened. It's not even necessary to make excuses. If you go beyond Sokal's version, it's clear he was just misrepresented to situation to make a point.

>Second-rate literary journal calls for papers from physical sciences asking for their thoughts specifically about science wars as a topic
>Sokal writes a bullshit article for the journal, figuring they would publish anything and confirm an autistic point he wanted to make
>The journal (which didn't even practice peer review) told him it sounded like bullshit, but he refused to change it
>Journal publishes it anyway, because he was the only one who responded to their request and they actually cared about represented what they thought was his view on a controversial issue
>When it gets published, Sokal claims he rused them, and his article being published proves that anything that isn't hardcore STEM is bullshit

All he did was prove he was an asshole who was willing to be dishonest to probe a point. His stunt was basically the academic equivalent of "I was only pretending to be retarded." He set out to make a point, decided to make in a way where he was sure his article would get published, ignored that he was called on his bullshit, and then acted like the dumb stunt he pulled in a nonreviewed, second-rate journal had any kind of bearing on humanities as a whol.e
