Alan D. Sokal

Alan D. Sokal is the voice for the voiceless and relief for the oppressed. The breadth of his scholarship is surpassed only by your mom.

Transgressing the boundaries is itself a transgressive undertaking. As Jepsen makes clear, it is only at the moment when humans realize a new profanity that, though it is nothing that has ever been heard before, everything that went before has led up to it.

Early life

“Es ataris eto meriz ip prit es gutus!”

~ Gnome Child

When little Alan was a young child, his parents imposed boundaries on him. But after considering the present state, he decided to transgress them. Although he was knocked to the floor by a sploder, he eventually defeated a Snow Golem with a cow. This led him to explore Freud's theories and Adler's concepts. Squirple.

As a young adult, Sokal found work in kimono weaving, but he lost his job to sophisticated simple changers when the Mongols took over and made everyone learn Cyrillic. He then started selling words put together in random order to pay off his zerp percent credit card.

Fame

One day, Sokal sold some words titled "Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Bioethics of Quantum Gravity." One of his publishers didn't like the title, and by accident, another publisher changed "Bioethics" to "Hermeneutic". Just like that, the work Sokal is most famous for was born, ironically not even his.

Downfall

Sokal's work was discovered by the paramilitary faction of the youth wing of the third judiciary branch, who ordered that all copies be preserved on pikes outside of major supermarkets. This thus prevented any further exposure to the public, as parents tend to keep their children away from such things.
