That sounds remarkably like Jerry and Kramer explaining the whole thing to Elaine.

And she couldn't give a shit.

"Obama is both the Kwisatz Haderach and the second coming of Bruno Latour. " Did nerddom take a unified position on the Sokal - Latour foofaraw? Or were there schisms? Schisms are fun.
