This article shows what an insulary bubble of groupthink that academia has become. Sokal, undoubtedly under tremendous peer pressure, had now recanted his exposing of the foolishness of academia, and is now blaming the right (conservatives) for the discrediting of the liberal professors who bought into his hoax in the first place. Leftist university professors have become a caricature of themselves. They are utter fools who think that they are bright.

Will also mentions Randall Jarrell’s “Pictures from an Institution.”

Academia’s idiocy is to the point where it’s becoming criminal.

I got my last of three diplomas in 2012. In the time I was in school, my observation of higher ed is that it’s populated by pretentious, pompous, self serving losers who couldn’t do anything worthwhile, so they went into education.

Universities are replete with professional predators.

Best academic hoax ever. Pop goes the academic smugness bubble.

Sokal should not have lost his nerve.

Never apologize for being right.
