He talks about a lot of stuff and offers his opinion, which I guess you should take with a grain of salt. His actual field of expertise is in Ideology, and there I believe he can offer quite a lot. Regarding him "sounding profound", I guess it must be because of the way continental philosophers construct sentences, and us not being able to relate to their terms.
If you thought he was bad, you should listen to someone like Derrida (he's dead btw).

Most people on this post are talking about languages. There could be other things more important, like AJAX (which isn't totally new), Amazon AWS, Google Android, but mostly it would depend on what you are trying to accomplish I guess ?
