Print this article In 2018, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay, the editor of Areo magazine and a Ph.D. mathematician, respectively, achieved internet stardom when they revealed that (along with co-conspirator Peter Boghossian) they had successfully tricked a number of woke academic journals into publishing fake papers on, among other things, dogs’ experience of “canine rape culture,” the potential for replacing Western methods of astronomy with feminist interpretive dance, and the utility of certain, let’s call them “violating,” methods of male self-pleasure in potentially reducing transphobia. The “Sokal Squared” prank, as it came to be known (after Alan Sokal, who pulled off a similar hoax in the 1990s), was a clear demonstration, if anyone needed one, that for a person trained in the jargon of post-structuralist academia, almost nothing is so crazy that some journal, somewhere, won t be willing to publish it.
