9/ Some try to apply the label “metamodernism” to the metatribe. This could work in theory, but in practice, metamodernists are a sociologically distinct group that is only one part of the metatribe.

12/ Canonical texts of the metatribe include Dune, Thinking Fast and Slow, Foundation, the Sequences, The Matrix, and Impro. Yes, here is me shilling Dune again bc Herbert described the mindset of metatribe back in 1965. The culture has only recently caught up.pic.twitter.com/dM5EW0NuGZ

13/ The metatribe is an inevitable reaction to postmodernism and globalism. As the world fractured into a million narratives, the mind still strove for integration. I will do a separate thread on why I think the metatribe is coming together now.

14/ Toward the end of 2020 and start of 2021, the rise of remote work will finally enable the metatribe to gather from across the world to form in-person community.

16/ The renaissance came from the plague. A new renaissance will emerge from the new plague. The metatribe will lead it.

Replying to @vgr
I don't know how this would account for the ability of the relevant people to identify one another from across the room (Also, they mainly want to date each other and are beginning to have babies together)
