Postmodernism

Amaze your Friends! Now you too can engage in content-free discourse in the finest Academic tradition of Postmodernist thought. From "A Simple introduction to Postmodernism" courtesy of English Professor, Mary Klages :
Many modernist works try to uphold the idea that works of art can provide the unity, coherence, and meaning which has been lost in most of modern life; art will do what other human institutions fail to do. Postmodernism, in contrast, doesn't lament the idea of fragmentation, provisionality, or incoherence, but rather celebrates that. The world is meaningless? Let's not pretend that art can make meaning then, let's just play with nonsense.
In that spirit, may I present for your edification and enlightenment, the Postmodernist Essay Generator, guaranteed to generate essays of as much intellectual merit as the best products of Postmodernist philosophers.
