Here are the first chapters of my book 'The 6 Hidden Patterns of History'. It's taking much longer than anticipated, but since the theoretical framework is already finished and in a readable state I thought I could might as well share it with you. metamoderna.org/the-6-hidden-p…

Here it is, the main theoretical framework of The 6 Hidden Patterns of History (the day before yesterday I posted the introduction). The book is not coming out anytime soon, but we thought we could might as well share the foundational theory with you. metamoderna.org/the-6-hidden-p…

A deep commitment to progressive, complex politics must drive us towards a superposition between pessimism and optimism: Pessimism in tactics -- optimism in strategy.

Directionality and pattern do not presuppose a pre-given purpose. Historical evolution has recognizable patterns and directions, but probably no “end-goal” or “telos”. And if it has no end-goal, it has no particular “destiny”, either.

In the introduction to the metamemes model from last week there's a reference to an appendix about chaos theory. If you're interested, most of the ideas are summed up in this article titled "Is Metamodernism the Last Stage of Development?" metamoderna.org/is-metamoderni…

I seek to contribute to bringing about a metamodern world revolution, and I am looking for fellow revolutionaries—or rather, what I call co-creators, “those who write new values on new tablets”.

If you’re curious about how human culture has evolved from the Stone Age to the present, how various historical topics can be interpreted from a metamodern perspective, and what the next stage of development might entail, then this course is for you. dandelion.events/e/6-hidden-pat…

It is important to decenter the view from “humanity”, because our evolution must travel beyond humanity, if humanity is to survive (along with lots of other lifeforms). So the focus on humanity must take a backseat and allow us identify with a wider world of emergent properties.

Reality resides at the crossroads of fact and fiction. It is born precisely at the point where our imaginations, the stories we tell ourselves, meet the facts of the world and put them into context.

Art isn't supposed to make you believe in magic. It's supposed to kill all magic in the world -- so that we can create it ourselves.
