Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them

[bouteillebleu]

I finished reading Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them last night. It's far more terrifying than, say, Intellectual Impostures was, because the latter isn't quite as dangerous. Academic dishonesty is to be condemned, yes, and it's certainly true that there are people (some of them quite well known and respected in their fields, such as (the late) Jacques Derrida and Jean Baudrillard) who have written books with passages that make almost no sense whatsoever.

But they're not running one of the most powerful countries in the world.

On a much lighter note, this animation is highly amusing. :)
