The public, correctly, perceives these all as just "stupid ideas with no power to build things." It's like "supply-side economics." Nobody really cares what "scholars" in the field actually think that label means. I'd note that aerospace engineers don't have to chide the public about the precise labels to apply to their field.
Because there is not two hundred different pundits/grifters who tries to leverage the lack of knowledge of the general public in aerospace to make themselves seem clever.
To me it's the same as people try to sell 'quantum medecine' or 'quantum meditation'. On this website, any grifting article about that would be buried fast and not up voted, right?
And critical theory, as a tool for historians, linguists and archeologists has already been more useful than string theory or the multiverse theory has been for anyone, so I guess the public is incorrect here?
Postmodernism ideas are everywhere in the general public, by the way. Because it's an adequate description of the post-80s world, from the 60s. Each time you think 'he's virtue signaling', you think like a postmodernist. Each time you think of an object as a status symbol, you are a postmodernist.
