We don’t live in a post-truth society so much as a post-romantic society. This is far more more dangerous. Post-truthiness can be mitigated technologically. But a deficit of romanticism cannot be solved until imagination returns to public spaces from where it’s been driven out

Reactionary aestheticsand pastoralism != romanticism. I suppose I need a more precise term for forward looking, frontier seeking romanticism

Yeah, romanticism is somewhat of a muddy term. I primarily associate it with Sturm and Drang. I think both pastoral and frontier subplots came later. Primary association of romanticism for me is emotional subjectivity over logical objectivity.
