Hi All,
  Just checked out metamodernism on Wiki and the posted "Metamodern Manifesto<http://www.metamodernism.org/>". I consists of the incredibly new idea that we should think about ideas in terms of dialectics (poles) and fluctuating tensions between them. As if there were some sort of synthesis that could be achieved via a thesis in tension with an anti-thesis. If that is the depth of that movement, I am not surprised I have not heard of it.

  I will say it here as I have implied in my writings. Postmodernism is the recognition that human knowledge systems, even scientific ones, are built in socio-historical contexts and ultimately function to serve interests relative to power and influence. Natural science modernism did not have a fully effective way of factoring out intersubjective/social construction forces for one simple reason. No one had the Justification Hypothesis formulation of language, self-consciousness, and Culture.

  If you really want to move toward a post post-modern Grand Meta-Narrative, there is currently only one serious solution as far as I can see.

Best,
G
