    Perhaps. I really hate that post-modernist crap, but I guess they are their own special type of nerd. I'm afraid I'm willfully ignorant about that sort of thing to judge it's quality. But if it's good, perhaps I'd learn something.

    That's the thing about this sort of site, the subject matter experts can rally, interpret, and translate for the non-experts. That way we can get an expert opinion on the subject, and start to see the merits in TFA. Eventually we can get involved if we see something that interests us, and get some feedback.

      I agree, one of the things that kept me coming back to Slashdot was that when I first came, there were some articles that I found fascinating which I could participate in, and some that went over my head more or less entirely. Over time, thanks to the informed commentary of Slashdotters(plus more than a little outside reading) I very rarely come across anything that is over my head. In other words it was an education in itself. Now if I came to Slashdot now for the first time I'm not sure the same thing would happen. I would like Soylent to be like that, informative and interesting for the average geek, but not too intimidating or incomprehesible for the newcomer, Natalie Portman and those hot grits of yours I'm talking about you.
