To level with you, I'm a scientist, electronics engineer. At the end
of the day I fall back on equations and measuring stuff. But I never
closed off the other me, the one that likes poems, books, making
music... the human part. That's been useful to balance things. Now I
find myself in cybersecurity it all fits together somehow.
In academia I never actually encountered these mythical
"post-modernists" responsible for the "ruin of reason".
This [0] may not be to your taste (or say anything helpful), Peterson
always being a wildcard, but this conversation with Camille Paglia
sticks with me. For her the whole thing was phoney. At least in US
America pomo was akin to a "red scare".
I suspect she's partially right. Pomo was cool when it was cool for
loafers, and then suddenly... hey iPhones! and then books by
traumatised Jews weren't cool.
