The way HN comes down so hard against the lab leak hypothesis is spooky. Opinion about this is thrown around so heavily. Credentials: NPR listener AKA elite understander of things? The tide of understanding the origin of this virus is turning as Chinese propaganda wears thin. Many of you may recieve your comeuppance and I hope you're embarassed by your sheepishness.

John Searle makes sense when wiriting on the mind. Jacques Derrida, who I have read, does not. The post-modernists are obscurantist charlatans who en masse form an institution that demands attention rather than the quick dismissal like one would give a rambling bum on the street. Similar to religious apologists they have created an enormous enterprise of bullshit. You are confusing its nebulousness for profundity.

The pomo people telling the anti-pomo they just haven't the understanding is reminiscent of religious apologists/theologians telling atheist debaters they just haven't ground to stand on because they haven't adequately digested a sufficient body of obscure tomes to dismiss X religion. Or "You just haven't read the Koran in classical Arabic! Understanding Islam is beyond you."
