Paul Virilio on Terminology - Dictionary of Arguments
Sokal I 193 Dromocracy/Terminology/Virilio/Bricmont/Sokal: with "Dromocracy" Virilio describes the "rule of speed". SokalVsVirilio: Revel(1) pointed out that "dromos" does not mean "speed", but rather "run", "race". The mistake is probably due to Le Monde, since Virilio(2) gives the right meaning. Sokal I 194 SokalVsVirilio: Unfortunately Virilio confuses acceleration and speed.(3) For the correct use of the concepts of physics , mathematics, and set theory see >Sokal/Bricmont, >Feynman, or >Thorne, >Gribbin, >Hacking. 1.
