“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.”

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.
