“In today’s cynicism, the disavowal of knowledge is not embodied in a fetish object – things are bought to a self-referential extreme so that the fetish enables us to disavow knowledge itself. “Knowledge” functions as an obstacle which prevents … seriously accepting and assuming knowledge itself… You accept knowledge precisely in order to neutralize it.”
