Fuzzy Math Indeed !

            Why is there more common sense in the corrupt bourgeois

    press nowadays than in innocent, idealistic Academia ?

           Your editorial this morning " Beware fuzzy math "

    rightly sees a connection between this " constructivist "

    rubbish and the more abstruse rubbish : " deconstructionism "

    -which is the ideological basis of much professorial quackery.

           The essence of " deconstructionism " is a disbelief in

    an orderly, rational universe. In religious language it is

    a rebellion against God Himself; in secular language we call

    it HUBRIS .

           Deconstructionism loathes the objectivity of SCIENCE -

    the belief that reality is independent of our wishes, of our

    POLITICS.

           By the way the New Math in my school days was not

    a complete pedagogical disaster : I still remember that : "The

    null set set is a subset of all sets. "
