OK. Could it do it in straightforward language whilst devising workable plans for the promotion of science and reason and strong institutions and addressing the problems in the universities and generally defending secular liberal democracy, please?https://twitter.com/Luke_Turner/status/948269334673219585 …

Or if it is purely to be incomprehensible art which witters on about 'oscillation & simultaneity, between & beyond' can it just stay out of the way whilst the rest of us talk about what is actually happening & how to fix it?

What the heck? "Stay out of the way"? Metamodernism is describing what's happening; it's not forcing anything on anyone. It's an attempt to articulate what is actually happening, and those developments will therefore be metamodern. It can't step out the room if it is the room

Of course, you are free to go around saying the world is metamodern in abstruse, incomprehensible, unusable terms. Can you just not do it when grown-ups are talking because we have to fix this mess.

Again, which part of this is abstruse, incomprehensible or unusable? It's very plain, easy to understand English that has evidently been helpful to many. I've not attacked you in any way, but tried to engage. I don't see why you feel the need to be rude.http://www.metamodernism.com/2015/01/12/metamodernism-a-brief-introduction/ …

How can this be used? It's fundamentally meaningless. Have your 'metamodernism discourse' which is 'descriptive rather than prescriptive; an inclusive means of articulating the ongoing developments associated with a structure of feeling.' I see no worth in it.pic.twitter.com/Z9HlaL5OsW

I appreciate your good nature and civility, Luke, and I see your good intentions. I apologise for my rudeness and impatience. Perhaps we could try to have a conversation another day but I really think our mentalities are fundamentally opposed.

Replying to @HPluckrose @GrowTheFuckUp66
thanks Helen, I often enjoy conversations with people with fundamentally opposed worldviews, but my frustration here is I feel we're arguing for essentially the same thing—just with different language. Would be good to talk someday about how we all engage in enacting change.
