While progressives have declared themselves shocked at how easily conservatives seem to have given up on democracy,35 that shock is mutual, as conservatives have been stunned by how willing progressives have been to sacrifice the biological reality of sex, and thus the foundation of life.

while postmodernism thus represents a new awareness of how our paradigms construct our world, it appears markedly blind to its own worldview — its own postmodern metanarrative.

adjacency - postmodernism - alternative facts - observation - also we are seeing the shadow side of postmodernism in the Trump era where "alternative facts" have become dangerously fashionable - obviously the complete denial of an objective reality is not tenable while the complete denial of constructed reality is also no tenable - what we need is an integration, as Annick contends

But let's properly define the problem. History and experience tell me it's not a post-truth era: Facts have always been hard to separate from falsehoods, and political partisans have always made it harder. It's better to call this a post-trust era.
We are not post-truth, we're post-trust.
Kind of. A lot of people "trusted" the Denver Guardian because it fit within their pre-existing narrative framework. Maybe we are "post-trust" with the institutions and organizations that got us this far: traditional mainstream media, higher ed, researchers and scientists.

Rather, taste is the basis of judgments not only about what is beautiful (or personally pleasing) but also about what is virtuous.
A curious conflation of opinion, virtue, and beauty. I like this understanding of "taste" as I think it expresses the attitude that opinion is equivalent to fact that has emerged in the past few years with the rise of social media.
