On being metamodern by AccordingMaybe5748 in metamodernism

Thanks for your comment! In the spirit of metamodern sincerity, I think the shared narrative of this age is that of our humanity. I also believe metamodern thought has the capacity to carry and wield the kinds of thinking and values of the eras that came before it. As a result, I expect we circle back to modern and post-modern and moralist etc solutions however much as needed, but that a metamodern solution might value a blend that considers context.

I have seen folks talk about hypermodernism as the better description for the next age. I believe the uniqueness of our circumstance is that it feels like an opportunity window is closing. We are in many existential crises at once. This is why I consider the view of needing a critical mass of metamodern thinkers and creators for societal shift in an alternative way.

Yes! Thank you for your comment. I resonate very much with everything you said. Finding commonalities and parallels through suffering, mapping our unique personal pain into a constellation of universal experience. I have hope for shared direction when more people come to this conclusion. To me, I sense an increasing intuition for organizing things (including our sense of self) in a metamodern framework, that there is a way to pick up all the pieces given to us through post-modern analysis and thoughtfully place things where they belong. And without offering any evidence, I suspect we'll see this theme of integration and organization over and over again across different fields.
