Alan Sokal’s original publication and then the more recent The Grievance Studies/Sokal2 affair expose the worst of what the humanities and social sciences have become. The fact that they changed nothing, except made journals check IDs before accepting submissions, as they were more upset by the fact that they were tricked but not interested in addressing what was exposed because it turns out that social science and humanities publications are a massive scam set up to enable third-rate academics to keep their jobs/get tenure through publishing garbage in low tier journals where the reviewers are just passing publications so that their garbage gets passed too.

I have multiple publications in top tier medical journals and this shit makes me sick.
