I wonder how many Postmodernists really adhere to a "postmodern
morality"
in the sense described above.  And those who do (Paul de Man?) maybe can
be categorized with pre-postmodern words like: "sociopath".

Show me a postmodernist who would not react in a very
modernist/traditional way, if told that
his/her/other paycheck was just a bunch
of symbols and no longer could be used to buy anything, or at
least that a $100 bill and a penny were of equal value (or lack
of value), and that their medical insurance card was just another
symbol, with no logical connection to any claim
(s)he might have on obtaining medical care.
