You know it's going to be a great book when the opening paragraph is just chock full of jargon that seems to be getting used in a very specific way and the author doesn't bother to actually give a definition of any of the terms they are using. Especially when they seem to be using said jargon solely because they are big words and therefore it is a very smart and intelligent person who wrote this.
80% of English majors cannot proficiently interpret these paragraphs of great modern literature
Immediately stuck out to me, too. He's using "modern" to mean multiple things interchangeably: 'modern' as in technological progress, modernism as a philosophy (Marxism is modernist lol), and some other thing IDK WTF an "ultra-modernist" is. Maybe a thing that comes after modernism? Like say....a post-modernist? But obviously that's Judeo-Bolshe...I mean "cultural neo-Marxism," so we can't have that.
STEMlords were a mistake.
