In this episode, Vigil and his returning guests, Danny and Matt, discuss the topic of postmodernism. This episode focuses on the differences between modernism and postmodernism and why talking about this topic is essential. The show then goes into whether postmodernism exists only in the realm of art and literary theory, or is it also a social phenomenon. We then discuss if postmodernism leads to cultural and moral relativism and whether that point of view can lead to a generally skeptical view of the world. We also cover the concern if postmodernism can cause science denialism, because of the general belief that we can't know anything for sure, no matter the tools we use. We finally finish the episode on the costs and benefits of using a postmodern lens to view the world.
