Your words: "A close reading of 20th century history indicates as nothing else can loss of faith in the idea of the individual. It is only the individual, after all, that suffers. The group, does not suffer; only those who compose it..."

"...Thus the reality of the individual must be regarded as primary if suffering is to be regarded seriously. Without such regard there can be no motivation to reduce suffering and therefore no respite."

"...Instead the production of individual suffering can and has and will again rationalized and justified for its supposed benefits for the FUTURE and the GROUP."

Are you now talking about Neomarxists and postmodernists as a GROUP, or as INDIVIDUALS? Who suffers? The group, or the individuals?

The benefits to the "group" of students outweigh the potential suffering of the individuals comprising the Neomarxists/postmodernists?

Good argument, but. Neo-Marxism and postmodernism aren't people. They're ideas. Are you arguing that postmodernists are inherently postmodern? If not, what about the "potential suffering" of postmodernists who suffer because of their ideology?

I am against the ideas, but for the people. Assigning the dirty work to an AI is a cop-out on the moral responsibility for their well-being as individuals.

I'm a bit confused of your wording. For the current postmodernists, maybe. For the not yet indoctrinated, avoiding postmodern ideology is positively healthy for their "moral responsibility."

Indicting postmodernists is no different than indicting non-postmodernists. Same argument, different sides. I am not talking about their victims, I am talking about the people who carry the ideas.

Except that some ideas are good and some are bad. Some produce free and flourishing societies, some produce catastrophe and death. Over and over again.

Yes - but you ARGUE ideas and you present your position based on evidence, facts, and reason. You don't assign an AI to do it for you.
