"Saul Kripke" isn't real. The man known by an*lytics as Saul Kripke is an actor, paid by continental philosophers to humiliate an*lytics by demonstrating how they'll fall for literally anything, any pseudo-philosophy, as long as it's presented autistically and smugly enough. After logical positivism had its asshole devastated, when an*lytics stumbled into babby's first epistemology and were forced to grapple with elementary issues that continental philosophers naturally ponder from childhood, an*lytics started getting cocky about how their "philosophy of language" was revolutionary, unprecedented, despite being a bootleg version of continental hermeneutics (while paradoxically maintaining the positivist love of unjustifiedly hypostatizing random things, like "concepts," "facts," and "propositions," of course).

A few naive and well-meaning continentals who didn't understand how the an*lytic mind works tried to inform the an*lytics that they were rehashing things already said generations prior by Dilthey, James, and a thousand neo-Kantians, a fact well known even to philosophers that an*lytics mistakenly claim as part of their own tradition (from Boole to Sellars). Predictably, the an*lytics only laughed and babbled about this "continental jargon." They mocked "meaningless" statements of the well-meaning continentals, statements like "I'm not even saying you can't hypostatize things before 'deducing truths' about the things you've hypostatized, just explain why you're doing it, or at least admit THAT you're doing it!" and "[if] Philosophy is described as the science of real existence and the research of causes ... I am then compelled to assert that, according to the view of the nature of Philosophy, Logic forms no part of it ... [W]e ought no longer to associate Logic and Metaphysics, but Logic and Mathematics" (George Boole) and "Bertie Russell trying to excogitate what true knowledge means, in the absence of any concrete universe surrounding the knower and the known. Ass!" (William James). As ever, the an*lytics were as insufferable as they were impenetrable.

Seeing the failure of their junior colleagues, the older and wiser continentals hatched a plan. They would concoct the most embarrassing caricature of an*lytic imaginable, with a realism so naive even Herbart wouldn't touch it, and an epistemology so scholastically unreflexive about its givens and their "apodictic" consequences that even Rabelais could not improve on its self-parody. They would condense it into a pamphlet, and hire a vagrant to be its mouthpiece. After some initial debate over candidates, it was decided that an*lytics are in fact so stupid that it wouldn't even be necessary to hire a wizened old man. Everyone immediately knew that an*lytics are in fact so unbelievably that any random parvenu with an 80-page pamphlet discoursing on naive realism could be built up as a philosophical bombshell, as long as a critical threshold of consensus was produced that it was "true."

Within hours, a homeless man at a bus stop in Nebraska was offered the gig of a lifetime. He was bathed, given a trim, and several tweed suits were purchased for him. The fake pamphlet took slightly more time to prepare. Although the continental philosophers initially had a good time shouting out the most absurdly naive philosophical positions they could think of, as conscious beings they naturally found it difficult to simulate the level of unconsciousness possessed by the average an*lytic philosopher. There are rumors of self-induced narcotic comas and even lobotomies. In any event, after five gruelling days "Naming and Necessity" was complete.

Using their superior social skills, and with the aid of some slimy Frenchmen (of whom, for some reason, the secretaries of *nglo philosophy professors are quite fond), Naming and Necessity was astroturfed in various an*lytic journals. Continental philosophers, smoking pipes and donning supercilious sneers to disguise themselves, wandered college campuses and repeated in earshot of suspected an*lytics that Naming and Necessity was simply "true," that it had no "jargon" in it at all. Within the year, "Saul Kripke" (born Bob Hepple) was hired at Harvard University as full-time professor of philosophy. Disaster almost struck as "Kripke" suffered a severe stroke in his first year of teaching, rendering him mentally disabled and barely able to speak ever since. Fortunately, an*lytics didn't even notice.

The joke was complete. Saul Kripke's entrance onto the an*lytic scene was a bombshell from which it never recovered. A new wave of realists, with no sense of what this even means or what their metaphysical or epistemological commitments even are, rushed over the derivative "ordinary language" philosophers and their confused crypto-architectonics of "speech acts." Shockwaves were even felt in disciplines reliant on an*lytic pseudo-philosophy, like cognitive science, artificial intelligence, jumped-up *ngloid calculus ("maths"), and computational theory. Even now, as an*lytic departments are gasping their last, and being fully subsumed as adjuncts of their local Computer Science department, a mysterious cargo cult of "Kripkeans" can still be found on the internet. When asked to explain their philosophy, they can only mumble incoherently in the style of their guru, and begin pointing at random objects and saying "that's chair... chair is chair in all possible worlds... no post jargon... the nothing nothings..."
