Human institutions are flawed foundationally and are therefore epistemically invalid. Subjectivity is all that there is. We do not deduce facts, we create narratives.
-
I see postmodernism as a lens to criticize institutions with. However, if it is your only lens literally science itself just becomes another narrative - and that's really not great in a world of pandemics and climate change.

there's no such thing as truth. everything should be viewed through the lens of personal experience. how you feel matters to reality.

Modernism = explicitly justifying things in terms of basic values. Postmodernism = people noticed that modernism itself can't be explicitly justified in terms of basic values.

I like how you framed this. Can you a real life example?

For understanding some object of our attention, both content and context are required. It may seem tempting to believe that some objects have content that is stable under all contexts (e.g. maybe truth, beauty, outer space), but very few objects can survive this. It's humbling
-
Some take this too seriously and believe no content exists. That's sad. Some content works in most contexts, even if not all. So we can have morality & community Others find the humility too intense and give up. That's sad. Choosing your life's content is heroic and rewarding
