On Not Being Understood
If people fail to understand your jargon, that's YOUR failure, not their's.

Which is naturally the goal for certain types of people.
That's all I have time for today; please keep in mind that if you like this blog, or you hate it but can't stop reading it, you might want to click that Paypal "Pundit Patronage" button on the side and send us a tip, to keep me motivated!

Is this not the goal of modern humanities? Obfuscate the fact that you are saying nothing and then claim to be misunderstood by small minds.
ReplyDeletePretty much. Humanities, and Storygaming.
DeleteI am not qualified to speak for all the Humanities, but at least for linguistics and social anthropology, the answer is one big NO.
DeleteAlso, you may claim as hard as you like, that your reviewers or your editors or those guys that made no reference to you in their work have misunderstood your paper. In the modern academic world this is not going to help you a bit.
