it happened to be the case that the rise of naive modernism caused both atheism and ugly architecture, but i don't think the two are necessarily linkedhttps://twitter.com/mechanicalmonk1/status/1329042545071054849?s=20 …

maybe when you say atheism you mean something like secularism and maybe you can't build beautiful things under secularism, that sounds more plausible but we'll get better forms of atheism, just watch retvrn to Spinoza

i suspect that Spinoza's brand of atheism if you want to even call it that is not the sort of thing that is readily accessible to Mankind

i think secularism is already dying and non-theistic religion will be the next big thing the metamodernism movement is the first envoy of a change that's going to come over the next couple of centuries

i swear post-rat-esque thinking is a precursor to the next philosophy of the zeitgeist

the curious thing (to me) is that it doesn't actually feel like a new aesthetic going through Durant's histories of thought, I see a lot of commonalities with postrats and eg Montaigne, others lots of people writing toward the same end

i think the problems are 1. its almost definitionally not systematizable 2. relatedly, even if you get a core of people who figure it out it is very difficult to convey to others and so you get a succession/saeculum problem some examples herehttps://meaningness.com/metablog/stem-fluidity-bridge …

It's definitely not new thinking. I think it's just that rationalist types have somewhat independently convereged on there being benefits to tradition, myths, feelings/emotions, etc. But those are all things people have been talking about for centuries (think Nietzsche + Hegel)
