      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 …

      Yep. This stuff. Do not be fooled by people who tell you metamodernism is about taking the best ideas of modernism & postmodernism. This implies a rational evaluation akin to Enlightenment thinking. Metamodernism actually breaks things down further & makes a big, confusing mess,pic.twitter.com/e1hqdmEr9k

      We absolutely do not want to be blurring distinctions any further, believing contradictory things at the same time, mashing all sorts of things together & being even more subjective. This will not help our post-truth problem. It is a further assault on truth.

      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

          Metamodernist buzzwords have been in the arts for at least a decade, as a response to there being more art mediums (and artists wanting to play with everything at once). I think culturally we need more 'both/and' right-brain thinking, but otherwise it's potentially catastrophic.

          Perhaps a test for whether you are using post modernism in a bad way: If your postmodernism has created a narrative that it would itself benefit from a postmodernist deconstruction you’re doing it wrong.
