      Which will be useful because you can tell me what needs explaining more and better.

      to randomly jump in, the way I view metamodernism's oscillation/simultaneity is as a means to recognise and attempt to glimpse an objective 'truth' of the world beyond merely our subjectivities—which I feel is mm's defining move beyond pomo

      Hello! I cited your manifesto in a recent talk about this. I am not sure how oscillation helps. I think trying to strengthen the distinction between the search for objective truth and the emotional resonance of subjective perceptions is key right now.

          I'm puzzled by that statement, since I see metamodernism's oscillation/simultaneity of thoughts/feelings acting to enable—as you wonderfully put it—"the search for objective truth and the emotional resonance of subjective perceptions"

          We already do this. Naturally. All the time. What is needed is neither oscillation nor simultaneity but a conscientious effort to distinguish between them and to preserve systems which enable us to do this collectively by mutual criticism.

          I don't think what we need is 'a plurality of disparate and elusive horizons' so much as a plurality of disparate & well-evidenced arguments from which we can get the best & most supported ideas and advance our species.

          YMMV; the manifesto darts from one contradiction to another—that's its form—from art to the absolute to science to poeticism, to strive for something beyond. And most of all, to strive for movement beyond postmodernism's inertia. As an artist, this is why I found it useful to pen

          Right. I'm not sure this is meaningful in the way we need it to be if we want to preserve a liberal, secular democracy and the concept of objective truth in a society comprised of many groups with different narratives.

          But living in a time where once again the idea of creating something meaningful, of attempting some kind of beauty or truth, I find to be incredibly useful – despite the inherent dangers of romanticism

          It depends how you do this. The groups doing this most successfully at the moment range from Islamists to the Tea Party to the Corbynite left to the Jordan Peterson cult. I don't find any of them useful.

          But I'm clearly none of those. I'm an artist by profession. That's how I choose to engage, and hope that I am helping change the world to something better in some small way through my actions.
