Pootwattle: post-human, post-Turing
Pootwattle writes: “The logic of the culture industry reinvents itself as the internal structure of an anthropocentric history.”
Which is almost certainly true, although at the same time there’s plenty to argue with. The thing is, Pootwattle is a random sentence generator. So does this demonstrate that meaning lies in the mind of the reader/critic, or that academic work is often utterly meaningless?
Even more fun: I could have a dialogue with Pootwattle almost as readily as with a human academic; does this mean he passes the Turing test, or that the mode of academic discourse fails it?
