Yes, it's a bit mad. The political evolution of PoMo took the cultural constructivism & knowledge as a construct of power stuff & is seen. The philosophical evolution of PoMo - metamodernism - seems to want to take the breaking down of borders, ambiguity, doubling & obfuscationhttps://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/998022020951674880 …

Metamodernism is for ppl who liked postmodernism, realised it is unsustainable but want to continue playing with its concepts & complicating & confusing everything. This has two positives: 1) They've stopped doing postmodernism 2) No-one can understand them so it won't spread

Full disclosure: I am one of those people who likes postmodernism, realises it doesn't work but wants to continue playing with it. It does actually do quite pleasurable things to your brain. Defamiliarising things & making connections & blurring boundaries.

It would be great if it cld be played with as a kind of art form or thought experiment. The problem is when it is regarded as a productive way to look at the world. It is not. It doesn't tell us anything except how amazing our brains are for developing & sharing abstract concepts
