"Grok"? Someone got their circuits blown out by Stranger in a Strange Land, methinks.

[Huntress]

He should have changed his name to Flake.

It's a sad commentary on the state of leftist intellectualism when a reader like myself can only be certain that this piece is satire by searching out overt indicators such as the keyword "satire" assigned to this article.

“For Grok, 44, the move to a cave was a natural step in his intellectual progression”

So that’s how the college crowd spells stupid now.

[curiosity]

Darn, I shouldn't have put that keyword there!

[Huntress]

Ping!

It's IowaHawk double-feature day ...

"Like the developing world, I had been seduced and entrapped by their addictive steam and cardboard technology."

Sadly, I am trapped as well. I feel no better than an animal caged at the zoo with no purpose but to be stared at by other pawns of western industrialism.

so okay... Wasnt it just last year that the democrats were accusing conservatives of being "Knuckle Dragging Neanderthols"???

[EternalVigilance]

This is one of the funniest things I've ever read.

Not too many things can make me laugh uncontrollably, but this brilliant piece did!

"My dissertation at Columbia synthesized the seminal works of Jacques Lacan, Derrida, and Michel Foucault," says Grok, referring to the influential French deconstructionist philosophers. "I was able to prove, conclusively, that conclusiveness is not conclusive."

Still laughin'! :-)

[dsutah]

I know! I couldn't resist looking to see if it was a 'humor' piece.

[curiosity]

You might enjoy this.

[Petronski]

Isn't this dude the soundman in the Geico commercials?

[FreedomPoster]

A committed animal rights activist, he does not skin or eat the dogs until they have died of natural causes.

ROFLOL! I'm dyin' here!

Very nice work, great satire of the buffoonery in modern academe.

What is it called if satire is satire is reality? Deconstructurlism? What if there is a God? Or is no God? Or God is a woman? Or if I am God? It is called puberty, and some people never, ever, outgrow it and reach maturity.

The answer is ... go eat a dog or have sex with a hobo... is it really satire? hhhhmmmmmmmmmm?

"Walk on living things?" He asked with incredulous horror.

[Paleo Conservative]

That is so condescending.
