Postmodernism Generator and Fashionable Nonsense

My first reaction to this is LOL ...  ROFL

You should try this. Go to this page:

Every time you go in, it generates a new seemingly intelligent article full of bombastic jargons. But, it is actually mere collection of incoherent nonsense. ROFL!!!

I just got this book from the library. Not sure I have time to read it. Haa Haa.

A bit of history. A physicists wrote a piece of incoherent , yet intelligent sounding, nonsense and got in published in a journal Social Text. LOL.

What follows is a full force attack on non-science practitioners trying to use ( and end up misusing and abusing) intelligent sounding scientific terms to appear sophisticated.

At times when I failed to understand some talks/lectures where the speaker carried on blah blah blah, I thought I was an idiot. But now I realize , maybe, I am not that stupid after all. It is the Emperor's New Cloth syndrome. It is time to stand up and ask, ' Sire, have you realized your lecture is as substantial as what is clothing the naked emperor?'

Emperor of All Maladies: A biography of cancer

This is one of the most depressing bookings I have read. I am still struggling the finish it's last few chapters.

Quite some time ago, I vague remember reading gothic fiction like Dracula, Frankenstein and Notre Dame of Paris. That was almost suicidal. 

But this book is notch more painful -  because it is real!

It gives a history of cancer and illustrates the struggle by the patients, doctors and scientists. It personifies the diseases as a person. As we find out more about it, as it evolves and grow. It's use of metaphors is immaculate. Hugely informative: it contains blend of anecdotes of struggles and histories of scientific discoveries and innovation.

The result is an awesome pulitzer prizing winning book (in 2011 for general non-fiction).

As you read this book, you will understand more about the nature of this disease. You will feel jolts of pain as well as hope intertwining in you. You will face life together with its suffering; you will cherish life even more.
