Welcome to the (Weird) Postmodern World

Postmodernism is the ideology that there is no 'one truth', but many truths. Truths can exist only in the mind of an individual. That is the only truth that postmodernism purports: that there is no one truth. Thus, it follows that language cannot be used to create meaning, but that meaning is determined solely by the individual's perception. There is no real reality, but that the real existence of something exists only in one's own mind.  Everything that is said is a bias, and so therefore everyone thought of is a bias since there are no truths. Truth no longer guides us to shape our principles and values. Justice is now a matter of politics.

Welcome to the weird postmodern world.
