Regarding their Cryptome's style: it's my understanding that architecture was one of the first disciplines to heavily take up postmodernist philosophy, and postmodernists are known for their ponderous and impenetrable writing style. So Cryptome's writing may just be postmodernist.
- semiel 11y agoI'm moderately familiar and comfortable with postmodernism, and Cryptome still seems bizarre to me. It's not word salad, like some people in this thread imply, but it's not clear to me that we're supposed to take it as serious analysis either. Part of Cryptome's game seems to be riding the border between insight and absurdity. EDIT: It's definitely a postmodernist writing style, though. You're right about that.
