Can we get over ourselves?

so, it seems that postmodernity is becoming as massive as the movement it hates so much. weird. the only problem is that much of postmodernity ends up being like a little child pointing a finger at an object and shouting, "i don't like that!" or, for its supporters with a philosophy class under their belts, "your epistemological bias is showing!" the reason postmodernity is nothing and everything all at once is precisely because it is. it has no perameters. and once it grows up, has some people put handles to it, and moves forward, it will be outdated and reacted against itself. its hatred for analytic philosophy and pride make too many people think they can jot gobbledygook, say it means what they feel, and move on. gobbledygook said by intelligent and grumpy people is still gobbledygook. (kierkegaards don't fall out of the sky--it takes work.)

problem is that you can't just point and shout about how bad things are that you inherited. you've got to do something about it. it's time to move on and do something. you can't just tear down. you have to build--as dangerous as it is. after Babel, there is Pentecost. after Ahab is rejected, Elijah annoints a Hazael, and a Jehu (Oliver O'Donovan).
