There is no such thing as “postmodernist” orthodoxy. Dr Dawkins - are you sure you’re actually familiar with Postmodernism ?

Yes, there is. Please see this thread about the evolution of postmodern ideas through critical theory, left-wing politics & social justice activism.https://twitter.com/hpluckrose/status/935389669046603776 …

Helen Pluckrose @HPluckroseBut this thread is an excellent illustration for what I have been saying about people talking past each other on the subject of postmodernism because of definitions and misunderstandings of the term & what is being criticised. I feel the need for a thread of my own. https://twitter.com/AaronRHanlon/status/935155939816235009 …Show this thread2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -
And your lazy conflation is just the sort of nonsense I’m talking about.

I'm not conflating anything. I'm saying what we mean by postmodernism - those ideas about objective truth, social construction by discourse, power structures which evolved through critical theory, activism and politics.

Ironically, the common theme to your post is critical analysis. Which you seem to lack.

You're not really saying anything. What is the source of our disagreement? Do you want to defend postmodernism or current Social Justice activism or universities or what?
