Listen "NON-EXPERT EXPLANATION"
Episode Synopsis
SSC's review of postmodernism got very mixed reviews. Some of them made a good point: why should I be trying this at all? I'm not a postmodernist, I'm not a philosophy professor, surely someone much more qualified has already written a blog-post-length explanation of postmodernism. This is all true. My only excuse is that trying to figure out complicated concepts requires a different approach than trying to teach simple ones. Some knowledge is easy to transfer. "What is the thyroid?" Some expert should write an explanation, anyone interested can read it, and nobody else should ever worry about it again.
