So the modern skeptic question is "how do I know I exist", and one response to that was "I think therefore I am", but the postmodern extrapolation of that appears to be "I think therefore I am therefore I am whatever I think and so is everything else because I can't actually count on anything else objectively speaking"
And the danger of this becoming a major cultural force that's separate from standard modern liberal conception of individualism is that postmodern radical individualism that doesn't even agree that objective facts exist which contributes to the "two screens" problem we've got.
Am I on the right track?
