I would like to think that the obvious comic bits like the Rick Rolling and the vodka shots makes it clear not to take the rest seriously. However we live in a world where disclosing a security hole gets a threatened prosecution from the Governor of Missouri.
Was Sokal fraudulent in his publishing Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity?
I would prefer to live in Sokal's world than in Parson's.

- blagie 5y agoI think the word is "fit." When I submit something which shows my personality, it's a very fast way to figure out whether a place fits my personality. I tend to lead with who I am. Let's pretend this resume reflected my personality (it doesn't, but I've submitted things people would find equally inappropriate). There's a very quick screen on the other side. Let's say you submitted something like this. - If they say "this is fraud," it's probably Parson's world. You won't fit. - If they say "this is hilarious, let's talk to this guy," it probably is a fit. I tend to lead with who I am, quirks, warts, and all. It saves everyone a lot of time. I can think of one or two times it's turned off people or organizations I later wanted to work with, but just one or two times. I can think of many more times it's opened doors.
