Interdisciplinarity never works

Wait until the psych students convince the physics students that they are just hallucinating their pendulums. The the philosophy students will show them all that it’s just a matter of an error in language and they can all go about getting on with their oof!… where did that come from?

  1. But, you know, those interdisciplinary literary critics who go on and on about theory of mind deserve to bopped in the head by a pendulum. And, come to think of it, let’s make that a Foucault pendulum. Call it Michel’s Revenge.

    Whap!

    Inopportune invocations of M. Foucault are considered an act of war (and rather tacky) in most English literature seminars, you know (:

    OMG. I was in a an institute retreat this week. We were talked at by a couple of sociologists. I think one of them should do a study of academic communication, and explain why they speak in such general terms, and why this annoys scientists so.

    In fairness, I was in a stats conference in Norway at the start of the week. I had a *ducks* fascinating chat on the train about creating random fields that were Markov, and *ducks* which even worked on manifolds.

    *ducks*

    Owwww. Physics is not as deterministic as they told us.
