"Metamodernists" are terribly wrong to co-opt David Foster Wallace
@Kilgoar DFW was basically a very disappointed modernist. The program is impossible, let's continue with the program.

@St_Rev Calling him a modernist is fine, that's a thing that actually exists instead of a Shia LeBeouf fantasy philosophy -
@Kilgoar I think there's a place in the dialectic for modernism in the wake of postmodernism but iunno what to call it. -
@St_Rev Postmodernists call it post-postmodernism. Zizek, Lacan, etc -
@Kilgoar I see Lacan as solidly within the critical-theory morass and Zizek as just a careerist loon. -
@St_Rev Well I do too, sure I do, but I can also see where they'd fall into the "post-postmoderinsm" category -
@Kilgoar Zizek maybe. Lacan was post-Marxist/Freudian, don't see how he qualifies as post-post. -
@St_Rev Seems to share the deconstructionist fetish for double meanings, astounding obscurity -
@Kilgoar Zizek I guess also counts as post-post inasmuch as he's trying to rehabilitate Leninism.
