Post Modernism is what gave us Bitcoin. Cypherpunk is essentially a post modern movement as a reaction to modern Corporatism and 'late stage capitalism'. Remember that Bitcoin was created and tagged forever in a response to the failure of Global Monetary Leadership in 2008.
Denial of universal truth is the only way forward to freedom -- there is no universal truth, and anyone trying to push such an idea has an agenda, and wishes the world to comply to this one true vision of the universe. It is the enforcement of a single universal truth (generally, western religion) that has eroded liberties over the centuries, and only in the last 50-100 years have we regained some liberties stolen from us by the religious zealots.
While I agree that insistence of power as the determiner of truth is a horribly authoritarian concept that will strip liberties from the masses, the non-powerful. Something like the Billionaire class being in control of all the town squares of discourse is horrendous for our society and civilization direction toward liberty.
Embrace the post modern ambiguity of our age. There is no reason the individual needs to fill some societal definition from another era, anything else is delegating ones liberties to another persons dated ideals.
