His generalization that modern culture has become completely machine-driven and dehumanizing. Quoting the article quoting him... “the primary, if not the only, goal of human labor and thought is efficiency” “technical calculation is in all respects superior to human judgment” “human judgment cannot be trusted because it is plagued by laxity, ambiguity, and unnecessary complexity” “subjectivity is an obstacle to clear thinking” “what cannot be measured either does not exist or is of no value” “the affairs of citizens are best guided and conducted by experts.” Now, I'll join Postman in criticizing Fredrick Taylor and scientific management all day, but Postman is utterly reductionist in his argument, turning a valuable and important point into a mere strawman. For a much more subtle and cogent critique, read Matthew Crawford's "Shop Class as Soulcraft".
