I take a look at the gravitational pull of Modernity and the failure of postmodernity and metamodernity.

I'm facilitating one of the follow-up discussions for my philosophy course at #ISTA today. We're discussing what a #metamodern #science for the 21st century could look like.

This is a good opportunity to toot my own vision, outlined in this short essay: https://www.whatisemerging.com/opinions/toward-a-metamodern-science

... and elaborated in my emerging book #BeyondTheAgeOfMachines

Unbelievable good shit. This sesson of the 'Downfall of The US Empire' has everything. This is a #metamodern masterpiece of a scene. I know, I know, you never give it to them but come on, it's still a great fucking show.

When a postmodern right meets a postmodern left, everything falls apart. This is why we urgently need #metamodern reconstruction after #postmodern deconstruction.

If Everything Everywhere All At Once is "Metamodern", Outer Wilds by Mobius Digital is also Metamodern.

This video helped me tease out what is meta- vs postmodern:

”Pick a side! Pick a side!”
The world yells at me.

”Choose a team and stick to it!”
It comes again and gets angry:

”You’re not playing fair”,
”You’re mangling words”,
It tells me.

It doesn’t really listen to me,
just asks who I would root for.

No complex arguments allowed.
Just people wanting to hear if I’m for or against them.

Their brand: Personal, political, national, musical, you’re free to choose.
It’s a free country.

Modern liberalism is destroying the world with its exploitative business model.

The postmodern left is deconstructing itself exactly when we need it most against the rising tide of the postmodern far right.

Our only way forward is the #metamodern aristocracy!

@larsweisbrod @leoniselt Oder es wird sehr genau verstanden und unter dem Mantra von Mark Fisher betrachtet, sodass ich eben direkt ein ironischernsthafter 'Sell-out' bin, sehe dabei gut aus und kassiere die Kohle ab, bc why not? Ich überspringe direkt das unwürdige Schauspiel, dass den ehemaligen Untergrundrappern droht, wenn sie sich 'Sell-outen' und machs lieber direkt mit Weihnachtsgebäck im Aldi. Times are tough. #metamodern

Human economies need growth, natural ecologies need degrowth. Therefore the logical sociological solution is to have virtual growth in economies that leads to material degrowth in ecologies.

”Don’t hate the player, hate the game!”

Analysis: This is actually a #defeatist and #anti #democratic #statement that sets the scheme up for never being able to influence the rules of the game.

It’s anathema to what democracies are supposed to be about: Rewriting the rules of the game so it’s more fair and more just for an increasing amount of people.

And the most succesfull of them turn in a huge profit, because they increase amounts of win-win #games over win-lose & lose-lose.

@kolya Ha, that's what I also recognized. I had the pleasure to see them live performing in 2010 at Dockville festival in Hamburg, Germany. But I also think, that this song is #metamodern and was before its time. Masterpiece. :)

#AmReading about #metamodern ironic sincerity. How we can both enjoy Sinatra and know his greatest hit is a total capitalist scam. How Neo really could have beaten the Matrix easier if he took both the red and blue pills at the same time. (And if you’re careful, you can see that happening in the fourth installment of the series.) It’s all around you, that new fresh wave sweeping over the arts. Pay attention! 👀
