The course is no secret. It's history. As to where you, if you mean the rational pov went off course, consult the nearest humanities dept, as they will be happy to regale ya for far longer than you will be willing to listen. It's -centro city. Euro, ethno, anthro, phallo, dude, it's a list a mile long, all of it imperialistic marginalizing madness from their pov. Ya freaked them out wholesale, and freak out they did.
The PC, diversity, multi-cult movement in the universities is a big part of the result, never mind a serious distrust and disregard for science as an ultimate arbiter of truth. They fucking hate that idea, just as much as you hate to hear about God's tender love and watchfulness or whatever mythic madness makes your skin crawl.
That's why it's called post-modernism. It's the umbrella term for the reaction to the modern. You guys were big on universal truths and they emphasize the relative nature of truth, and you both think the other is batshit crazy, though you are in agreement that the fundies are even worse. And you know how the fundies feel about you and the relativists.
