The humanities suffer from what I’d call “intellectual entropy”—a steady decline in rigor that drags down the quality of discourse, both in academia and online. The issue gets worse when STEM folks, confident in their structured disciplines, dabble in this mess without realizing they’re entering something close to rocket science-if not more so. By the time someone who’s skimmed Beyond Good and Evil once gets to continental philosophy they will mostly be “not even wrong” about most stuff Post-structuralism, phenomenology, existentialism are dense, challenging frameworks meant to disrupt conventional thinking. They’re probably more rocket science than rocket science. If people are stuck on master vs slave morality, weapons of the strong vs weak which is a far as the internet seem to go is usually because they’re lazy (lazy being a good thing usually, but not about this)
