Скачать или смотреть My Main Criticism of "Postmodernism" (rants included)

I have gone back and forth with what I think about Postmodernism for some time now but I think it could be helpful to make my thoughts public.
Postmodernism is generally understood to be a cultural and intellectual tradition that challenges ideas of objective truth, grand narratives, and fixed meanings. It emphasizes relativity, diversity, and the deconstruction of traditional structures, blending irony, fragmentation, and blurred boundaries across art, literature, and philosophy.

The main problem we will deal with in this video is the form with which some philosophers (but not only) present their thoughts.
The worry is that getting used to a certain form has broad societal implications.

For more examples of obscuring form see Fashionable Nonsense the book by Sokal and Bricmont.

For algorithmic reasons I think it might be useful for me to mention here Derrida, Foucault, the Sokal Hoax, Daniel Dennett, Thomas Nagle, Martha Nussbaum.
