The third leg of the stool that gives us today's woke movement is postmodernism. It is almost as if someone decided to send postmodernism as the "shock troops" to lay the groundwork for the woke movement. Join us as we discuss and dissect the many serious and indeed fatal flaws of postmodernism both from the Christian and secular standpoints.
The law of gravity is absolutely true whether you believe it or not: if you jump off a 10-story building without fall protection, you will die--so it DOES matter whether or not what you believe is objectively true. Everyone instinctively knows this, yet we have allowed shoddy postmodern thinking to pervade every corner of our minds.

Calls for legal child sex rebound on luminaries of May 68, The Guardian Feb. 24, 2001 (1977 petition signed by Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida and others calling for age of consent to be lowered to 12 or 13; "[French law] should acknowledge the right of children and adolescents to have relations with whomever they choose.")
I attributed to Andrew Sullivan a quote that in fact was made by a contributor on the New Discourses website; I apologize for the error.
