I've brought you a man." After this incident, "with broad flat nails" was added to Plato's definition.[23]

Seems like we as a species would be in a better place if we followed the teachings of Diogenes.

postmodernism is/was an umbrella term used by various factions for various purposes: by lazy academics to hide their lack of insight and rigor; by enemies of certain effective critiques, to demonize them; by me, saturated with voda, to put up my butt and get trashed
