Full disclosure: I am one of those people who likes postmodernism, realises it doesn't work but wants to continue playing with it. It does actually do quite pleasurable things to your brain. Defamiliarising things & making connections & blurring boundaries.

It would be great if it cld be played with as a kind of art form or thought experiment. The problem is when it is regarded as a productive way to look at the world. It is not. It doesn't tell us anything except how amazing our brains are for developing & sharing abstract concepts

I just don't have the kind of brain that can operate at that level of abstraction.
