@margaretgaby4506 Not really. The postmodernists had some valid ideas that came about as part of a natural progression (stemming, to some degree, from Nietzsche's work). They just didn't know where to go with them.

@benforshizzle The ideas that finally quashed organized religion in the West and got us to start carrying our own water (psyches) as Jung might say. Postmodernism was a necessary stage of disillusionment that put humanity in its place while destroying all places. Where we choose to go from here is up to us. But the point is that we can really go anywhere now that the constraints of dogma have been lifted. It's a beautiful thing for those who survive the nihilism stage. We get to choose what's sacred, set our own values, create our own myths and live out those myths as we see fit.

@caspar_gomez But it also depicts the truth of men. We're physically oriented and we'll go there if a situation can't find alternate resolution. But we're raised not to hit a woman and I still back that idea 100%.

@iankclark No. Nietzsche was dead on about the death of God. Secular society has desacralized everything so it's up to the individual to decide what's sacred. Agree about the wisdom of the ages, but nowhere did I even hint at the concept of utopia. Write your own story and live it.

@iankclark It's not utopian in that it's an individualized liberation. In that sense it makes utopia impossible because there's almost no chance of everyone going the same place. Your story can be complete fiction. Many people who achieved greatness would be considered highly delusional in retrospect. Use your illusion.

I'm surprised the part where he talks about physical confrontations didn't cause more controversy and discussion.
