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 never said you didn't mention problems with postmodernism. I am claiming that the problems you raised about postmodernism, does not adequately support the articles thesis.

Why don't you write something? You're being far too vague for me to respond to. It';s all 'but why is postmodernism worse than liberalism' when we set out our rationale for that in many words. Please go away now.

The problems that we raised with postmodernism are the reason we think postmodernism is bad. The benefits that we mentioned of modernism is why we think it is good & much better. I thought this was obvious but if you still don't understand, I'm just going to have to give up.

I will try one more attempt at clarification, and then I will leave you alone. At one point, in the article we are discussing, you guys mention that postmodernists "claimed to be continuing the modernity project", but the only point you raise to object to this is the following:

"many of those structures and institutions are, in fact, products of Modernity that the majority seeks to incrementally correct and ultimately protect." I read this as, postmodernists want to radically change institutions, and that is bad because those institutions are modernist

The burden of a coherent argument here really needs to be with those advocating for structural overhaul and what they mean by that. No one is saying changing instituitons is bad, but that sci/reason/dialogue are best tools to do so.

I work with postmodernists who would agree with this statement. What does that tell you?

I don't understand the source of your confusion here and I don't have the time or the inclination to get to the bottom of it. I wrote some things which explain my view. Read it and try to understand it or don't. I'm tired. I've had enough. Please stop now.
