I doubt most people have. But they aren't part of or originators of the
US-EU chasm, rather the humanities/sciences chasm (hardly the
originators, but to some extent part of the buttresses on one side
keeping it open). Their effect on the popular mindset is very subtle -
it is there, it seems to be extensive but it is hard to point at any
special thing and say "this is Deluzian".
