Pat was feeling libidinal so Ben clues him into the postmodern philosophy of the man who put a name to the movement: Jean-François Lyotard.

In his seminal work The Postmodern Condition, this French theorist/human chimney identified postmodern philosophy as a shattering of our most deeply held narratives, and a subsequent turn to the variegated experiences of different perspectives and truth regimens. Mai, oui!
