Gary Marcus

The statement 'Avant Garde is French for Bullshit.' — John Lennon' is a humorous and potentially sarcastic comment that reflects John Lennon's personal opinion on the concept of 'Avant Garde.' The conversation leading up to this statement involves a critique of the misuse of the term 'exponential' in discussions, which is a lighthearted take on the precision of language. While the initial tweet by @GaryMarcus could be seen as a critique of language use in public discourse, the reply by @Zachary_Louie and the subsequent quote from John Lennon do not substantively address public issues or policies. Instead, they seem to be part of a casual conversation about language and do not contribute to civic dialogue in a meaningful way.
