Quote by Brad Holland

Postmodernists believe that truth is myth, and myth, truth. This equation has its roots in pop psychology. The same people also believe that emotions are a form of reality. There used to be another name for this state of mind. It used to be called psychosis.

Postmodernists believe that truth is myth, and myth, truth.

Summary

This quote suggests that postmodernists view truth as subjective and relative, often equating it to myth. It argues that this perspective, influenced by popular psychology, also considers emotions as a valid form of reality. By noting the connection between these beliefs and psychosis, the quote implies that such a mindset deviates from the rationality and objective understanding traditionally associated with mental well-being. In essence, it critiques the postmodernist inclination to prioritize subjective experiences and interpretations over objective truths.
