metamodernism

the metamodern meme sees most of the challenges in the world as a developmental challenge.

people's psychological development should be taken way more seriously. we live in a laggard world, in which our institutions aren't prepared at all to deal with the large-scale complicated systems we've built and the metacrisis as a whole (which hanzi refers to as the "multi-faceted" crisis).

on their the listening society - metamodernism part 1 book, hanzi proposes a fantastic definition of human development consisting of: stage, code, state and depth and proposes a few enlightening perspectives and policy suggestions based on their sociological analysis.


what do they say about the metacrisis?

i'm not sure if i agree with their super long-term perspective, i'm generally more inclined towards the need for a phase shift.
