      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

      but one of art's roles is to be speculative, and in this way it can certainly spark progress. The relationship of art and science has itself been constantly evolving, and metamodernism simply attempts to articulate the state of things, as opposed to trying to invent anything

      Art has the potential to speak of anything and everything, just as science has. They are two sides of the same coin.

      if you want to separate the two off entirely, one could say that neither does science alone have the power to discover facts without a spark of creativity

      This is good stuff - been interested for years in this. I think Helen's frustration is encouraging and there's definitely a clash between the artistic brain and the historian/scientific approach

      It could well be that once other people "fix this mess" you'll be able to say "that's exactly what we meant but we were speaking different languages"

      I think the language is what is important. It shows how we think and understand. Epistemology. If one person says the earth orbits the sun because a holy text says so and another says it does because of scientific evidence, these people aren't doing or meaning the same thing.

          And without art, there is no language. 🙂
