"Objectivity is impossible and it is also undesirable."

At one time this question was open for serious debate and now it has become dogma. “The only truth is that there is no truth” is handed down as an absolute certainty without the least bit of thought. Revativitism and PC closed mindedness has shut down free inquiry and has sapped the benefits of a liberal education. Liberal education is no longer about enriching the mind, experiencing greatness or something outside our immediate culture that allows us to judge our culture but, rather, its about adopting a lens to view all values as equal because the greatest questions about values have now been answered and activity is now called for to implement social and political justice. Activism is called for, not thought. History is in need of active correction too. Questions about the good life are archaic -- post modernism has all the answers needed... just trust your profs.

Postmodernism: The contradictory belief that there is no “privileged” view, and that any opinion, however uninformed, is just as “valid”, that all views are equal; except for the view that there IS an objective reality and an informed opinion is better than an ignorant one, that is to be hated and despised.

There is no privileged viewpoint except the view that there is no privileged viewpoint.
