Postmodernism isn't a coherent ideology, though. It's like saying you reject romanticism.

It was its relationship with truth that we were discussing.

Fair enough, but I think some postmodernist art is valuable.
-
Not talking about art. Art is neutral. I'm going to write a thing on this soon. What people are criticising when they criticise postmodernism in a political context.
-
Please do. Maybe I'm a little dense, but I find postmodernism to be a really vague term that brings together people like Foucault and Pynchon and John Cage who otherwise would have nothing in common.

As a total aside, your tweets make me wish I paid better attention in art history class.

I don't know very much about art history!

I have it but have not read it. I'll have to get around to it.

In art school everyone was busy with their own 'style', which seemed to mirror postmodernism. I took the Odd Nerdrum approach and ended up reading a bunch of different philosophies, failing to adopt an individual movement. My political philosophy seems to be born from Wabi Sabi.

But I'll write that down to read it. Even if I disagree with it, it's important to me to learn opposing ideas to make my own understanding more valuable and complete. And there's always a chance I might learn something I didn't know, which will make for better conversations.

Couldn’t agree more. But postmodernists are quite easily hoisted by their own petards, when their own thinking is subject to the same criteria they apply to others.

Rejecting postmodernism is rejecting endlessly pontificating about definitions to the point where institutions crumble in the confusion.

To reject postmodernism is to reject mental masturbation, and, I’ve been told, you should love yourself. Maybe postmodernism is just masturbation advocacy taken to meta levels.

That reminds me of when religious apologists claim they are the proper thinkers and intellectuals, and everyone else is ignorant and close-minded. Postmodernism is just another riff on the "other ways of knowing" trope.

2). The arrogance of Postmodernism rejects value with narcissistic celebration of mediocrity. A most suitable entertainment befitting all.

Postmodernism is the result of economic failure of the (Marxist) Frankfurt School, now implemented socially & destroying organic constructs.

Postmodernism is a wrecking ball. May certainly deconstruct a construction or two. But problem is we need those constructions to function - as individuals and as society. Tear them down and we tear ourselves down in the process.
