Warning #1

Specifically, these two edits are not productive: [1], [2]. If you continue to force in unreferenced incorrect information, you may lose editing privileges. Please read WP:RS. This may help you understand why those edits are a problem. --David Tornheim (talk) 22:18, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

I am correct and this article is incorrect. Postmodernism is an anti intellectual philosophy, as it does not construct anything but only destructs. You are wrong here and society will continue to change it to what it right. 72.197.187.131 (talk) 22:20, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Please provide a reliable source that supports this claim. --David Tornheim (talk) 22:21, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Warning #2

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. --David Tornheim (talk) 22:19, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

By definition, postmodernism is anti-intellectual, as it attempts to deconstruct and destroy all conversation or philosophy. Therefore it should be defined as anti-intellectualism, and in fact WILL be defined as anti intellectualism within the coming decades. 72.197.187.131 (talk) 22:21, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

That's your opinion. We do not put our personal opinions in the article. Text must be ground in reliable sources. I urge you to read the rules before continuing with what nearly every editor here will see as a kind of vandalism. --David Tornheim (talk) 22:26, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

It is not my opinion. We just don't have many scientific studies on it yet. But mark my words we will. They are coming out.

Thank you for providing a source! Discussing the source in the context of the article should continue at the article talk page. I have opened up this section: Talk:Postmodernism#Intellectual vs. Anti-Intellectual. You can discuss the justification for your edit there--now that you have a source that reflects the edit. Hopefully some other editors more familiar with the WP:RS can continue the conversation. --David Tornheim (talk) 04:09, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
