"One of the central characteristics of our age – which those of us with
fancy educations often call the postmodern era, although even that term
is starting to feel old – is a widespread crisis of authority. It isn’t
quite true that nobody believes in anything and nobody trusts the
experts, as in the rootless world of moral relativism feared by
conservatives. It’s more that everybody gets to pick their own beliefs,
their own experts and their own evidence."
Some food for thought. Via Jim Wiggins and Muse.
