Postmodern thinking allows us to discredit and discount everything, which also leaves us in a lonely and absurd state. Philosophically it’s called nihilism—nihil meaning “nothing.” Nihilism affects us all in some way, but most especially those at the top and the bottom of any society. The elite have the freedom to dismiss and discount everything beneath them; the oppressed finally have an explanation for their sad state. Feister, John; Rohr, Richard (2011-07-07).
