Anchor fast decisions
Modernism believes in grand truths and progress; postmodernism deconstructs everything, moving toward irony and relativism. Metamodernism oscillates between these two poles: both sincere and ironic, both longing for meaning and acknowledging its fragility, responding to the era with a posture of 'knowing it may be meaningless but still choosing to engage' (new naivety/new romanticism).
