Postmodernism

Though it led to a lack of objectivity, maybe the postmodernist mistake is founded on a right desire for complexity, and a reaction against being simplistic in everything. Even here the issue is complex, because not everything is complex.
"The essence of tyranny is the denial of complexity".
- Jacob Burkhardt
**note: "complex" does not mean "complicated", neither does "simplistic" mean "simple".
