Earlier quoted context omitted.
We need to form some sort of guild of engineers who think Deleuze, Latour, Lacan et caterva should be read within our disciplines.
They would be called "unemployable" because they are literal charlatans. Please end our strange fascination with fashionable nonsense. Freud was wrong. There is no Oedipus complex. Everything lacan proposed was wrong. Deleuze and Guattari's mental health clinic failed spectacularly, and Deleuze ended up killing himself at the end (supposedly due to back pain?) They literally describe their thought as being "Schizoana…
Guattari was the psychiatrist-analyst type, Deleuze was uninvolved with that. Also: what drove him to suicide was lung problems, to the point he was (old and) locked home connected to a machine to breathe. Some say it was an accident -- that he opened the windows to let some air.
That's just to correct the record. I have no desire to re-litigate Sokal/Bogdanoff and so on. Good day sir cheerio.
