Question: How do you feel about Sam Harris' Moral Landscape? Do you think we can say objectively that the worst possible misery for everyone is bad? Because I do, but I also you couldn't possibly know that if you didn't have subjective reality of pain. Hope that makes sense...

Not that kind of subjectivity tho. We nearly all feel pain because humans have central nervous systems.
-
Yeah but that doesn't matter if you don't know what it feels like... We know that the nervous system produces the feeling that is so terrible.

metamodernism is not about understanding, or adhering to any kind of system though. As somewhat of a monist, I'm not sure I comprehend your apparent desire to separate out everything.
-
The entire point of the metamodernism discourse is to attempt to speak beyond postmodernism's abundant failings, so I would think you'd want to engage with rather than dismiss possible developments?

Just when you thought the overreach of postmodernism was at tipping point. Enter "metamodernism". The doubling down
-
On the contrary, metamodernism describes culture's attempt to move beyond postmodernism's dead ends. Your tweet itself can be seen as metamodern, for it voices that discontent with pomo on a metamodern platform. Not a doubling down, but all options on the table to move forward

-
Interesting, are the tenets of MM rooted in contrived notions of subjective reality too?
-
metamodernism encompasses shifts in contemporary philosophy rooted in theorising *objective* reality (which had become almost taboo in postmodern theory), for example Speculative Realism and Quentin Meillassoux's 'After Finitude'

-
"Speculative realism" there is a lack of conviction right there in the title
