“Metamodernism lies between modernism and postmodernism while exerting an enthusiastic irony, a hopeful melancholy, a knowledgeable naivet茅, an apathetic empathy, a plural unity, and an ambiguous purity.”

“We fail to take responsibility, to act productively in the interest of ourselves and others. And in our attempts at a better life, we are often severely limited or thwarted by the immature and socially inept behavior of ourselves and others. There is a great fabric of relations, behaviors and emotions, reverberating with human and animal bliss and suffering, a web of intimate and formal relations, both direct and indirect. Nasty whirlwinds of feedback cycles blow through this great multidimensional web, pulsating with hurt and degradation. My lacking human development blocks your possible human development. My lack of understanding of you, your needs perspectives, hurts you in a million subtle ways. I become a bad lover, a bad colleague, a bad fellow citizen and human being. We are interconnected: You cannot get away from my hurt and wounds. They will follow you all of your life鈥擨 will be your daughter鈥檚 abusive boyfriend, your belligerent neighbor from hell. And you will never grow wings because there will always be mean bosses, misunderstanding families and envious friends. And you will tell yourself that is how life must be. But it is not how life has to be. Once you begin to be able to see the social-psychological fabric of everyday life, it becomes increasingly apparent that the fabric is relatively easy to change, to develop. Metamodern politics aims to make everyone secure at the deepest psychological level, so that we can live authentically; a byproduct of which is a sense of meaning in life and lasting happiness; a byproduct of which is kindness and an increased ability to cooperate with others; a byproduct of which is deeper freedom and better concrete results in the lives of everyone; a byproduct of which is a society less likely to collapse into a heap of atrocities.”

“Let鈥檚 return to the main argument. People are hurting as hell. It matters. We should do something to make them happier, if we can.”

“People are hurt and afraid at a subtle psychological level鈥攁nd are therefore self-absorbed, incapable of taking on larger perspectives and incapable of acting upon the very real long-term risks that threatening our global civilization. We must, at all cost, make the world population much, much happier in the deepest sense of the word.”

“We can and should create a happy society,
simply because we care. Unfortunately, I have found, this is not obvious to many professors of psychology, theologians, philosophers, economists and the like. Pond scum.”

“At the micro-sociological level, most humans are doing better than ever. Yet there is so much confusion, suffering
and bitter resentment. How many beautiful, privileged people have I not heard whisper to me, late at night, that if
it were up to them, they would never have been born; that they are angry with the world; that they were let down;
that they live with guilt and self-doubt; that their friends and families are hypocrites? These are signs of the
alienation suffered by modern human beings.”

“Polarization (and Trumpism) is in itself a kind of political crisis. But all of this would be 铿乶e in the long run,
if the stakes weren鈥檛 so high and the time frames so narrow. As a world-system, we really don鈥檛 have the time
for Trumpism and the like. Global warming and the rapid changes pertaining to the internet age won鈥檛 wait. We are
entering a time of unprecedented transformation and we are in dire need of politics that are progressive鈥攊n the
sense that they anticipate and productively respond to the upcoming multidimensional crisis鈥攔evolution.”

“In plain English, you need to wrestle the doubts and accusations that it鈥檚 all just bullshit. And, needless to say, the majority of the work of the triple-H population is undeniably so. The reason that it鈥檚 so valuable to society is just that some of it isn鈥檛 bullshit and even a small percentage of genuine innovations of software, culture or lifestyle can have a huge impact. Still, you never quite know if you are the bullshitter or the hero, or if you are being sold utter bullshit.”

“Paradoxism is not just another linguistic term or a literature device, but perhaps it is the definition of our post-postmodernism and metamodernism.”

“Metamodernism is a sensibility motivated primarily by a need
to safeguard the individual鈥檚 interior, subjectivebfelt experience
against the potential degradations of postmodern ironic relativism and modernist reductionism; and, also from the ontological inertia of pre-modern tradition. It is expressed through
and is an influence upon cultural artifacts found in areas such
as the visual arts, television, film, music, literature, design and
even philosophy, religion, and politics. As an episteme, metamodernism is periodized historically, beginning around or a
little before 2000, and also can be conceived of independent of
chronology.”
