He does have a PhD in Philosophy from a university in Slovenia. However, he's generally lumped in with the post-*-ist critical theory crowd. When he does his inexplicably popular academic guest lectures he's sponsored by the cultural studies department, not the philosophy department (unless it's a philosophy department with a non-analytical bent, like the New School).

He is definitely a troll, though. That's kind of his thing. I think he would even agree with that label.
