In terms of development from modern life, to postmodernity, and onwards to what I call “metamodernity” the most fundamental principle is this one: Modernity divides social reality into clearly distinguished spheres, like art, religion, market, politics, science, the civil sphere, and private life. Postmodernism challenges and breaks out of the confines of these categories, escapes the implicit definitions of “what art can be”. Metamodernity begins to come online when art has escaped from its modern confines and now, as a genie out of the bottle, begins to recreate all of society in its radical experimentation and creativity. Let’s be honest,

So what happens to people who are far-from-average-in-multiple-ways is that they gain some pretty unique insight into the frailty and arbitrariness of social hierarchies: every now and then people notice your strong sides, and assume you’re walking around in God mode, and every so often they notice your weak side and write you off as far, far below them. It’s confusing for everyone involved, not at least for the neurodivergent person herself. It usually takes years and years to settle on a path in life and set nuanced and reasonable expectations upon life, as one gets so wildly conflicting messages

Just as she/he is over-exposed to downright debauchery, the child of today is equally exposed to an ethics too high-minded, abstract, and confusing for her/his developmental psychology to fathom and genuinely embody. At least this will be the tragic case for the vast majority of children growing up today: They will oscillate between trying to identify with these higher values and force themselves to feel and to think what is beyond their cognitive scope and emotional capacity, often pretending to feel, or posturing to seem good enough — and rebelling against these same values in a reactionary rage that will

Perhaps the question is not one of “class against class”, nor “class or nationality”, nor even “are class differences justified” — but, rather: How can class relations be optimized for human thriving? The question sounds heretical, even to their own writer. It sounds callous, even cruel, and yet strangely naïve at the same time. To the Modern mind, class was either the fundamental source of ills in society (socialism), a necessary evil (liberalism), or even a strange boon as differences of wealth and power seem necessary for the flowering of arts, palaces, cathedrals, and other aesthetic wonders of civilization (conservatism:
