    Postmodernism both accuses science of being a metanarrative & blames it for not being one.

        'Science is just another know-it-all narrative trying to explain everything.' 'Science can't give us purpose, morality, beauty, love!'

        Science is a social construct, gravity is a social construct. Postmodernism is a secular religion. These ideologies are like creationism.

        A lecturer of mine at university described postmodernism succinctly: "Some say it's up its own arse."

        Consistency is not a pomo strong point. It criticises metanarratives, yet is itself one. And if it's not it has no purchase on science.

        Excellent observation. Mencken (paraphrasing): think of all the men put to death, not for error, but for the WRONG error.
