One Can Only Hope

“Postmodern theory presents itself as a way of thinking that exists by itself, and not the product of personal choices. Most people outgrow it when they stop feeling insecure or threatened.”

– Edward Mendelson

    The problem is that postmodern thought is basically “group-think”, and groups are always insecure, because they cannot think and act as one.

    I would say that postmodern theory, as it is taught and practiced NOW is group-think. But it didn’t start out that way. I think it is good to not just receive truths, handed-down, without questioning them, without investigation. I believe that wholeheartedly.

    But now the entire theory has solidified and polarized – you are either IN or you are OUT. Buh-bye.

    I miss your blog. I still can’t get in to look at it. :)

    I prefer to think that my blog has entered the realm of dark energy. Or else I’m being punished by the goddesses or maybe the Trilateral Commission for incorrect thought.
