Postmodern Culchies. A good explanation of Postmodernism, if you know ahead of time that "culchies" is an Irish term similar to American "rednecks" or country-folk. A potential insult, it's also a term that some wear with pride. Good luck catching all the local references unless you're from that Isle, but a nice use and criticism of Postmodernism.

"I Hate Charlie Brown: An Appreciation," by Garry Trudeau.
I found this when I was half thru writing the Tao vs. AAUGH piece. It validates my assertion that Peanuts is Postmodern, but it also appears like I ripped the idea off from this article. I certainly did NOT. ...Except for the bit about "I Hate Charlie Brown" being the punchline of the first ever Peanuts strip. Anyhow, Trudeau misquotes it, so there.
If you can't get Postmodernism off your mind, if you keep thinking about it lovingly with only your left hand on the mouse instead of your dominant but busy right hand, then you'll have to read some more about debates between traditional Rationalists and scientists versus the Postmuttonheads. Here's a section of Zmag.org called "Science Wars" that's pretty good. You should especially check out Michael Albert's critique of Post-Modernism, and the discussions of Alan Sokal's hoax/debunking of the Postmodernist journal Social Text. You can find Sokal's full article, "Transgressing the Boundaries: Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity" in Social Text or on the internet at Sokal's web site -- http://www.physics.nyu.edu/faculty/sokal/.
I came across a page by a young Swedish Taoist by accident. In it, he laments the fact that "most of the folks I know don't take my Taoism for real because I'm only 14 going on 15 and a Skater, so thats a bit deppresing." I fear that his main religious text, and the reason he converted, is Hoff's The Tao of Pooh.
*** As for "The Te of Piglet," read it if you're a fan of the first book, but it really turned me off when Hoff spent several chapters bitching about the problems with all the other characters. Owl is a snob. Rabbit relies on logic, to the exclusion of intuition. Tigger does too much blow. And Eeyore bitches about people and events and his fate, much in the way Hoff spends several chapters bitching about everybody else in the books, finally bitching about the wrong-headedness of bitching.
