I've read a lot of books, I have several hundred books in my office and home. Am I the only one who doesn't have a clue about what this idiot is saying? I feel like I wasted valuable time trying to understand what the hell IT is trying convey.

Science in essence is the unrelenting search for the truth.

To: Do the math
The more I've read of this the more I'm certain it's some sort of elaborate joke. Derrida used to play this game, wherein a sentence consisted of common words is meaningless unless each term is deconstructed, stripped of its original meaning to mean something else that only the writer and reader know. It's a mildly amusing model of discourse but not a particularly useful one.

Her screed is 6000 words long. Try to imagine wading through 6000 words of linguistic nihilism. I wouldn't try it for real; Lord only knows what's in there with you.
