I suggested you write that essay. I'll probably agree. I often retweet James Lindsay's pieces when he looks at this.

Yeah, I don't think we're far apart here. But I don't buy your jump from pomo to its overall cultural influence.

OK. I recommend David Detmer's book on this. He looks at increased receptivity to 'personal truths' & relativity.
