Re: When will the Postmodernist period end?
There is probably a post-modern answer to this. Although it might not really be an answer ...

I've never understood Postmoderism. There are bits of it I like, but I've never understood what it actually is.

Well it is what happens when everything ends up being modern. Its the day after that. This happened on June 23rd 1987 I think.

The dinasaurs didn't go into the night without first having be'en hit by a asteroid. Perhaps post modernism is the same and requires a global catastrophe to nudge it along?

When P.T. Barnum's corpse walks the earth.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."
