Why should I? It’s full of critical theorists, whose whole careers were based on nothing but critiquing things they either didn’t read at all (see Zizek admitting to this repeatedly), or poorly/narrowly read.

It’s absolutely in line with critical theorist nonsense to just critique it without reading it! Very rhizomatic thinking! No biopolitical thinking here at all!



I don't know who Zizek is. I don't think Sartre and Wallace Stevens are pomo nonsense-mongers. (In case that's what you mean by 'Zizek'.)

Criticizing the article without reading it is misleading and a waste of time. I think we ... agree on that? Not 100% sure.
