validity is one thing, but will people use them? like them? i
personally like my toilet without styrofoam.

people do that, & did that since the inception of techno. people did
that since the beginnings of religion & organized life. should that
really be defined as modernism, be it uber?

that doesn't seem to be the direction we're headed to. or maybe by
metamodernism you meant that some would follow modernist ways & some
postmodernist ones, but all the while _knowing_ that one isn't better
than the other & that both have good & bad sides. so the next step
would be knowing that you're knowing, & that whether you know or not
doesn't make a difference? how far can we go with that?
