As I said, read the best, not the Internet forums. There are problems with post-modernism just like there are with everything else, but not those described above. Read the best criticisms of it.

The same way cold fusion 'devastated' physics, the Piltdown Man 'devastated' archeology, and nonsense comments 'devastate' Hacker News. I have no idea of the facts of the event in question - not the claims endlessly repeated as a dramatic gimmick, but the reality - and I don't really care because it amounts to very little either way.
Read about actual post-modernism; you might find some of yourself in it. It would make you a heretic in some circles, I know.
- Natsu 8y agoIt's been repeated multiple times, not targeting the weak low quality journals (which, I agree, can likely be done to any field) but the top journals. If the Piltdown man had been published in the journal Science, that'd be more analogous. Some of the criticisms levied by post-modernism are valid, but if the best journals can't distinguish between it and a Markov chain, we have a problem of low information content.
