It's interesting because postmodernism is correct, it's just destructive because it stops there.
Deconstruction with no reconstruction.
My book is going to piss the Richard Dawkins types of the world off badly because I believe they are postmodern as hell.

I think postmodernism is 100% correct about there being no objective reality. It doesn't exist. Perspective affects all input, period. BUT This is not just "how things are," this is a problem that denying the existence of will never solve. Saying "I don't believe in postmodernism" doesn't solve the issue that all people see things subjectively.
Collective reality is the closest to objective reality we can get. Yet so many shun collectivism with all they have.
Individualism exacerbates the problem presented by postmodernism: that your reality is up to you. To some degree, obviously we all have personal truth. But individualism has created an environment where it's normal to go much further.
It's hyper-individualism. Obsessive individualism. The Religion of Me.
