Yes. But he won;t acknowledge anything about it. I don't think he knows a lot about it.

I've no idea. There's no requirement for scientists to be interested in PoMo where it doesn't impinge on science.

I can name several good ideas coming from theorists but we don't need the denial of objective truth etc to have those. Can be done sensibly.

I don;t know any proponents of postmodernism who deny science uses objective methods. Wondering if that's a straw man.
