Journal Article
KENNETH BURKE, NEIL POSTMAN, AND GRANDMA
2022
Overview
Sometimes in life, people have a straightforward pathway, one mapped with clear boundaries. Other times, they wander until they find the course they feel they were meant to take, often through using various maps that overlap yet contradict, with blurred lines and blended terrain. That is how Clements came to General Semantics. He began studying rhetoric in graduate school and took a deep dive into the writings of Kenneth Burke. His books were impressive, though meandering at best. He felt that he could find anything he was looking for in them if he only dug and theorized enough. But then he realized that even the best writing could be bullshit. With this realization in his pocket, he read Harry Frankfurt's On Bullshit. Fascinated by how words could be frivolous, he searched for more information on the topic. That's how he stumbled upon Neil Postman's \"Bullshit and the Art of Crap-Detection\" from 1969.
