Almost all of the discourse about "postmodernism" seems to be missing the point. So in this video I tell you what postmodernism actually refers to, and how understanding this can give us the tools to better analyze, and maybe even change, our world. I do it with the help of two guys that wrote really long books that no one actually reads, David Foster Wallace and Frederic Jameson.
