but you're railing against the limits of epistemology then, not postmodernism, but ascribing your frustrations to the latter. the amount of things we can know with any certainty is (infinitely?) many, many orders of magnitude smaller than all the information in the universe, doubly so for sociopolitically-mediated information. postmodernism is simply a mechanism for understanding/coping with how little certainty there actually is.
