I quite like Searle, but Chomsky and Nussbaum are just boring as sin. I think it's clear that Chomsky hasn't bothered to try and understand Foucault, who actually writes pretty clear for the most part, but the public wanted something that sounded "deep" so according to him, 10% added in is BS.
On the other hand Zizek is the opposite, competent maybe 10% of the time, 90% BS. But I think we can learn from his popularity. Unlike Foucault, Zizek takes Derrida seriously, and even though I don't think people keep up with his nonsense, he does hold their attention because he's passionate and overexcited in his speech and his writing. The public doesn't really want to hear conservative philosophy (ie what people think as "analytic") , they probably want more farther reaching conclusions.
Also, simply having a huge beard, t-shirt, shorts and sandals vs the clean shaven, usual off the rack suit and ugly tie professor tends to make you more likable and less intimidating to students, which is I guess not very surprising. But when rating each other, students equated wearing a suit to higher intelligence vs casual look, as people often do.
With that said, Foucault is easily the sexiest philosopher in the past century, next to Adorno in a bathing suit. And raw hems has nothing to do with philosophy, what a daft comparison. Your views do inform everything you do in some way, but having raw hems is just a preference.

Although I cannot comprehend this guys' clothing choices, but why shouldn't he enjoy it in his own way? Easy to talk trash behind his back. Why not reply to his instaposts instead?

That guy has floor seats at basketball games. We're not on his level.
Anyways, I was wondering because this whole stupid "90%," "rich chinese" thing got brought up, if a lot more people in your daily lives started dressing in the aesthetics of this forum how would you feel? I know of course some of you would roll your eyes with your elitism, and immediately think "oh wtf would this person know about _insert designer name_'s work?" but would you be happy such a style became a bit more common? that you would get less strange looks from people? like what happened with slim/skinny jeans? or are you happy this style has it's own little niche?Last edited by BlacknWhite; 04-26-2014, 02:57 PM.
