In all truth, I think that postmodern thought and the overwhelming liberal domination in the academy are going to be a blip in history. Its presence is a product of a generation that grew up in the intellectual graveyard of the 1960s and my own generation (who are currently seeking academic posts or will be in the next 5 or so years) seems far less inclined to swallow it then regurgitate it to the generations after us. Postmodernism's own contradictions, especially, make it unable to survive as a serious doctrine. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/03/arts/03camp.html
