This is exactly the kind of crap I was talking about, Jukka. First of all,
you assume that because I'm a scientist I'm ignorant about "questions of
history, explanation, and meaning." This would be highly insulting if you
didn't have so little basis for an opinion. Second, without (I imagine) any
knowledge of physics, you are ready to tell me what it can and cannot say
about wider questions. I personally find physics a much better background
to enable one to logically dissect these au courant academic shibboleths
than, say, comp lit or philosophy or cultural studies, etc. If you want to
talk, stop the ad hominems.
