In a piece which may be in line for publication I wrote: " There are extensive compositions of words which
relate to nothing but themselves, that pretend to analyze but analyze
nothing, being used to analyze reality based problems in a detached
free-floating analysis that is attached to nothing." I suspect the babble in the above is either an analytical system attached to nothing but itself or the author is in such a state of confusion that his statements are too vague to be comprehended.

I expect that the writer has an education which provides him and his colleagues a context and heuristic for the words he uses --even the order in which he uses them.

Actually I get a charge out of the Post-Modernist "arguments", and they are not that complicated. They always sound like a parody, but are supposed to be serious.
There are maybe twenty or thirty words that have special meaning, "voices", "discourse", etc. He is talking about the competition for funding and prestige in "psychology" academia.
Just read the thing again. It is funny. What a doofus.

Sorry. You're too late. The technique of obfuscating the fact that you are obfuscating is SOP for grant writers, educators, bureaucrats, resume writers, and NGO's. ;>
