I guess I would say, invent away! But can someone explain one thing: Why call these things "metamodern" when y'all already have perfectly good terms for the things you're describing--terms that are not already in use and doing work in critical/cultural theory capacities?

I sympathize—It’s worrying and frustrating when a term one invents gets appropriated and used for somewhat different things by some larger group that you don’t have sway over and who may not understand the original meaning.

I find great personal, systemic & cultural value/overlap from all these lenses. My intention here is to get our disparate 'meta' camps to engage more with each other in the name of generative exploration. Throwing some more nebulosity into mix I suppose.

There does seem to me to be significant resonances and overlaps and that mutual awareness should be helpful!

Re “why bring in dev psych”: because of the explicit and apparently valuable correspondence between the stages of personal development and the historical development from tradition to modernity to postmodernity to metamodernity.

Yeah, to me that correspondence is a stretch. For instance, what do you do w the fact that there are plenty of "trad'l people" (or modern, or pomo...) out there in this MM moment, and all these "stages" will continue to be present long after MM is replaced by the next episteme?

Well, that’s explicit in the explanations of people who make this correspondence (e.g. Robert Kegan). Only some people in a society are fully able to adopt the later, more difficult epistemes, which develop at an intellectual cutting edge.

Replying to @Meaningness @JaredJanes and
but still, what do you do when MM is surpassed by the next -ism and yet MM is supposed to be the term for the pinnacle, cutting edge of personal development?

Replying to @LC_Ceriello @JaredJanes and
I don’t think it’s inherently the pinnacle. It’s a powerful new way of being that only a few people have adopted. When something better comes along, some people will adopt that.

Perhaps. I admit it bugs me that so much from these theories,stages and systematizations being couched as MM traveled from humanistic & transpersonal psych through East/West synthesizers incl Wilbur in the 70s-- all extant prior to mm. Why do they have to be renamed as if new?

Well, again I share your concern here, and invented a new word (“meta-rational”) for that reason.
