Incrementalism/revolution, objectivity/subjectivity, relativism/pluralism are all areas in which postmodernists thinkers disagree, which leads me to the next point.

2) The actual citations used for what postmodernists think are scarce, and not very good at eliciting your concerns. If you think a group is doing something, provide a concrete example of them doing it. Otherwise, I think you are just trying to create a narrative.

3) Fitting with the last point, in several places you say "In fact, wrong" or "utterly false", but you don't explain WHY these views are wrong, or why they are false.

You say there is a postmodernist false dichotomy. I don't agree with you that this is a real postmodernist position, if there even is a single postmodernist position, but even then, I am not even sure the dichotomy is a false one. At least it isn't obvious.

4) Your conception of modernism itself is artificial, in that I think there are going to be disagreements about what modernist projects have worked, or to what extent change is necessary or not. Your argument seems to be, more change is bad. But is that necessarily the case?

We addressed what we mean by modernism and of course, there will be disagreement. Forever. This is productive. That is not the argument. The argument is that liberalism is inherently progressive and produces positive change.

The tension in the article is between good vs bad progress. You seem to think postmodernists want progress of the bad kind, but it isn't clear in your article why it is bad. You think they are wrong about science - though, as I have said, that depends on the postmodernist.

Well, I don't think we can make it clearer than that. We already spent 10,000 words on the problem with postmodernism and premodernism. If you still don't see what we are saying it is and why it's bad, I certainly won't be able to explain it on Twitter.

The quantity of words doesn't matter if the quality is bad. Look, I read your article. It isn't clear to me. Take the criticism however you like, but there it is.

I'll have to take it that your reading comprehension is poor. It seems perfectly clear to everyone else. Some disagree with it but they don't claim we didn't mention the problems with postmodernism.

I don't know what else to do. I'd only be saying the same thing in tweet form or screencaps.
