I would like to announce that I have discovered the social cluster that has discovered the method of discovering all social clusters, and am now a postmodernist. Seriously guys, postmodernism is pretty meta. Update on expected metaness.
I'm confused. What point are you trying to make about postmodernism?
None, really. I just like how its proponents can always win arguments by claiming to be more meta than their opponents. ("Sure, everything you made sense within your frame of reference, but there are no privileged frames of reference. Indeed, proving that there are privileged frames of reference requires a privileged frame of reference and is thus an impossible philosophical act. I can't prove anything I just said, which proves my point, depending on whether you think it did or not.")
(I don't take postmodernism seriously, but some of the ideas are philosophically elegant.)
I would like this on a t-shirt.
