@GlobalUrbanCosmonaut whilst I totally agree with all the points I would suggest reading this book. We are watching modernity with all its boxes, labels and reductionist dogma dying, the question is how can we be with whatever it simultaneously is birthing. @bobonbooks #modernity
Let's start with the basics: #colonisation is, unless you feel/think otherwise, a process and practice rooted in conquest, domination, and extraction, where one group of people establishes control over another group, often through violent means, to exploit their land, labor, and resources. It fundamentally enforces a hierarchical structure, positioning the colonizers as superior and the colonized as inferior. This system is maintained through cultural erasure, economic exploitation, and environmental degradation. So an integral part of #modernity.
Wild Artisan Dialectics: A Path to Authentic Inquiry (AI Generated) Amidst this landscape, a unique approach emerges—one that defies structured dogma while embracing the untamed spirit of organic exploration. This approach, aptly called Wild Artisan Dialectics, is not merely a method but a living engagement with truth, evolving through reflection, dialogue, and experiential insight. #Buddhism

Are we able to hospice modernity or are we part of its evolution. Maybe there is no difference? Seriously I want to talk about this question. @jewishtaoistbuddhist #modernity #themeaningoflife
The phrase "Buddhist Pragmatism and Extended Family Carefree" evokes a vision of everyday spirituality that is both deeply rooted in practical application and joyfully shared among family members. It suggests embracing Buddhist teachings not as lofty abstractions but as lived experiences that help navigate daily life—especially within the dynamic and interdependent web of an extended family.

The monotheistic religions made it normal to squash people: "I think there is something really special about the Bible [...] which is precisely this idea that the revelation of truth comes through the suffering of the weak." (Matthieu Poupart)
Then the Renaissance made it easier to blame the victim: With modernity, "it is the person who takes no initiative who is seen as responsible for the emergence of sexual promiscuity." (Matthieu Poupart)
Jacques Tati’s “Playtime” is a playful visual treatise on modernity portraying the innate incompatibility between human nature and the Modernist expectations of behavior in space. Almost completely devoid of dialogue, shot on a massive set located near Paris known as Tativille, the film dissects Modernist architecture through one of its epitomes: the office building.

I want to learn more about modernism and modernity as a cultural movement. It feels like so much of what’s going on right now is about pushing and pulling against modernism.

"Het is duidelijk dat etnisch-raciale vooringenomenheid een immer effectieve en actieve kracht achter de moderniteit is geworden."

Oh, look! A San Francisco #Substacker has discovered #Europe and its medieval citizenship laws! 
Because, clearly, we should all take lessons on #modernity from the continent that once thought leeches were the height of medical innovation. 
Maybe next time, they'll explain why we should adopt Europe's approach to #tea-time too.

Rethinking the narrative of progress - ‘doing loss’ in present society
How can Western modernity come to grips with loss if its promise of progress has been stripped of its credibility? Andreas Reckwitz, 2023:
"The losses — both those already experienced and those anticipated in the future — can no longer be rendered invisible so easily; they are growing in numbers, and the attention paid to them is growing, too."
"In late modernity, we thus see both an escalation of loss and a growing awareness of loss: from climate change to the losers of modernization, from collective traumata to regressions... the present-day political field turns out to be an explosive experimental space for dealing with negative events."
"The promise is no longer about progress but about the illusion of regaining what has been lost:
To face the truth with open eyes and make loss, the experienced and the anticipated a legitimate and crucial topic of debate does not necessarily weaken democracy but could strengthen it."

I think we are now so thoroughly post-modern that we don't even recognise it as being post-modern.
