Deconstructing Jackie
Postmodernism turns structures into soup. Some corrupted structures need to be deconstructed into soup, and skepticism, cynicism, and criticism are good tools for the job.<p>However, you can&#x27;t build with soup. And postmodernists are typically horrible builders. And overzealous postmodernists have an underdeveloped sense of when to stop deconstructing. And they seem to be unaware that most structures that come from the soup are unimaginably worse than the one that they just tore down.<p>If a cynical skeptic shows up to fix society with a scalpel, that&#x27;s a healthy dose of postmodernism; an adult. If a skeptic shows up with an atom bomb, you&#x27;re dealing with a child. There is no better phrase with which to characterize the current wave of postmodernism than perpetually &quot;throwing the baby out with the bathwater.&quot;
