The Postmodern Viewpoint

 We hear the word "postmodern" circulating in cyberspace. What is postmodern? In my view it is a philosophy that is about as useful as a dead plant. Here are the main points of the postmodern view:

• Denies the possibility of ever knowing ultimate and abiding truth.
• Truth is subject to ongoing revision.
• Ultimate reality depends on individual belief. (Each individual determines what is right and wrong.)
• Life has no meaning except what each individual gives it.
• Human life has no special worth.
• The universe originated in some primal cosmic accident.
• Empirical scientific method alone gives reliable information.
• Humans are intelligent animals without a spirit and void of divine guidance.
• Rejects the supernatural as legend and myth.
• Most major universities and so-called “intellectuals” advocate a postmodern worldview.

With no universal standard for truth and human behavior disruption and chaos percolates through society and civilization crumbles.
