Dear, Postmodernists

Dear,
Postmodernists

It's often very clear what a writer said. Unless the work is intentionally meant to veil its meaning, like Cantos by Ezra Pound. To which, that is a true Postmodern Work, where the meaning is supplanted from the mind. It has no meaning. Some say it is the Inferno, I say it is Child Harold's Pilgrimage, the truth is the Cantos were written to expressly be imprinted on by the reader, through buzz words. It has every Buzz Word in history, some in over forty languages, and it is an artistic failure. Because no meaning can be found in it.

What is the reason we write books? What is the reason we read books? It's a different question than why do we watch movies. Even though movies often have the same elements, movies are not pure thoughts. They cannot create imaginative effects, but rather do everything for the mind. Same with Video Games. These are purely experiential. However, books are for learning. And if one wants experience from a book---well, a book will never create as full of an experience as a movie will. Sure, they will create imaginative settings, sure they will create images. Sure, they are pleasant. But, simply put, they cannot compare with movies, TV and video games.

And TV, Movies and Video Games are different mediums, by which perhaps it is true that nothing of real sustenance can come from them. There is no real literary quality to any of them, and they are purely meaningless, experiential platforms on which an individual will blow time and fully immerse themselves. There are themes, there are plots, there are ideas in movies. But, one does not sit and think about those ideas, themes or plots. If one does, it's less to the effect of Life Altering, and more to the effect of entertainment. Though, I'm splitting hairs because even movies prove your concept is bogus.

If art is not to convey a meaning, and if the meaning is impossible to discern, why create it? Why indulge in it? Certainly, I bring up movies because they are pure experience. They are pure visceral pleasure. Same thing with music---though the poetry in music also proves your theory bogus. But, I'm deriving the sense that your Philosophy is driven by the experiential. And I'm not talking about Heidegger's Postmodernism. The art of Postmodern Analysis can be used, truly, to identify meaning in a text. Good Postmodern Analyses will not evade meaning in texts, but will rather find meaning in the most unlikely places. 

However, Postmodernism by today's standard is a fascist, racist culture meant to erase from civilization all the constructs which have bettered it. It is a weapon used by Princes to annul the populace's wisdom, to take from them any autonomy, and make them reliant on a corporate network so large and unbreakable, that every man woman and child are dependent upon the sustenance provided to them by their corporate Kings. For, if you destroy the meaning of the Constitution---which Postmodernism has many ill effects, and one of them is the misrepresentation of law---then you destroy the happy civilization we've enjoyed. If you nullify the fact that a law can be interpreted, or a book can be sufficiently understood, then you nullify the very real principles of truth.

A book can be understood. It can be understood perfectly by two or three different people. And if we forget this, we will throw all semblance of society into chaos. Civilization will cease. For reason dictates that meaning exists, and objective truth can be attained. If it cannot, then all that remains is power. And power flows through those who have corporate control over the resources. And you, being Postmodernists, are the source of that Power Structure. You nullify the basic truths, you nullify the foundation on which Democracy can be sustained. Anarchy always breeds Tyranny, as men are destined to create social contracts in all circumstances. There can be no Anarchy, as men will either order themselves by Law, or they will order themselves by Force. And in order to be ordered by Law, Laws must be understood. And certainly, they can be understood.

With this being said, when you nullify poetry---when you try to evade its core meaning---you do yourselves and society a disservice. You refuse to understand the point of view of others, and trap yourselves in infernal narcissism. You refuse to believe that others have expressed something, and you doubly refuse to believe that you can attain to the knowledge of what they have expressed. Communication can be difficult, but all things considered, raw utterances are not helpful. Evoking implicit conjurings of imagination, and making people experience, and then saying that the experience cannot be wholly similar between two people---this is itself wrong, and it is also dangerous. People are slightly different from one another, but abandoning our commonalities for the purpose of trapping oneself in a vacuum of narcissism, that is all postmodernism is, is the narcissistic belief in our own autonomy and independence from all other minds.
