That should still die.
No, no
Truth isn't real
Everything is a power hierarchy
I don't think Derrida is tied directly to the Frankfurt School.
That's the Frankfurt school
Commie.
I don't actually believe those lol
I know, just needed to let that out.
The people who wrote the grievance studies papers wrote really good articles about postmodernism
That it’s little more than sophistry and hollow words?
Yep.
Postmodernism is cancer upon the West and intellectualism as a whole.
How so?
There are objective truths.
Past events show a clear line of cause and effect.
There are natural laws that must be obeyed.
It's so flexible that it's basically bulletproof
Postmodernists deny those facts and embrace a world of pure subjectivity.
For example "There are no natural sex differences, there are only docile bodies"
Objective facts include that the solar system is heliocentric, the Earth is round, murder is wrong, rape is wrong, cannibalism is wrong, eating dogs is wrong, etc.
No amount of cultural relativism or sociology will ever convince me that eating dogs is morally right or civilized.
You can’t change my mind on this.
wait until you are starving
I’d sooner eat my toes and ring fingers than eat my dog.
The amount of obsession both for and against Jordan Peterson is bizarre
I find the against more bizarre than the for
Lol. I was just about to say "He generally explains when he's giving an opinion vs facts. Whats so controversial about giving facts?"
I must have had a stroke
We exist in an era where basic search for meaning and self improvement is downplayed in favour of forming attachment to your flaws
It's basically the only era where Peterson could be as relevant as he is
Yeah right? I mean why on Earth would I have thought "it's not controversial". I live in a time where people are so narcissistic they pretend to be empathetic
By talking about "muh oppression" that they more than likely don't actually experience
I'm no intellectual though.
I'm just some normie
You can tell when people are actually empathetic because they will approach the issues of someone they don't agree with from an outside perspective, even if at the end of the day they don't agree with that process
There's a Saudi in the church for the bush service
Wow. Michelle and Barrak just shake hands with Trump?
