All right, great questions from X. What are some of the important epistemological and other

lessons we learned from the successes and failures of the postmodern age? So the question

of hallucination, I guess, has been looming fairly strongly in philosophical discourse,

obviously coming out of the issues with AIs, right? So AIs, if you make them

not hallucinate at all, then they're not creative at all. If you make them hallucinate too much,

then they become less useful. So it's kind of an Aristotelian mean. So postmodernism is

that there's no such thing as objective truth.

There is only vengeful morality. That's postmodernism. There's no such thing as an objective

truth. There is only absolute and vengeful morality. Morality as a tool of punishment.

Superstition is related to making morals absolute and unquestionable, while making reality

subjective and open to endless interpretation. There's no such thing as objective reality.

There is only punitive morality. So if you have some real primitive tribe, they don't believe

in objective reality. They use peyote. Everything's the dream of the catfish or whatever nonsense

you've got going on. But if you disobey the witch doctor or the

tribal leader, then you are put to death, right? So that's an important thing to understand

that postmodernism is a return to primitivism. It is where there is no possibility of truly understanding objective reality, there is only the

infliction of punitive morality. So the typical example which would make the most sense for most

people is, there's no such thing as truth, but racists must be deplatformed. There's no such thing as truth, but racists must be deplatformed.

There's no such thing as reality, but sexists must be destroyed.

And it has to do, of course, that once you let go of objective morality,

then you let go of rationality and universality and the desire for reciprocity, the need for

reciprocity. In other words, the sort of the turnabout is fair play kind of a question. What's good for
