Just listened to Hanzi Freinacht's podcast in The Jim Rutt Show. It was interesting discussion about the clash between modernism and postmodernism, and how metamodernism is the answer.

For example, Freinacht said this:
>For us to have any idea about where the world is going or should be going, we have to logically see what would make sense for it to go. To do that we have to see the world more hierarchically, and that is forbidden within the postmodern sensibility. For this reason, we have to revolt against modernity, yes. Because modern life isn’t good enough as the postmoderns perpetually point out and it’s not sustainable either way. But we also have to revolt against the revolt. We have to revolt against post-modernity. This creates a horrible, horrible lapse in I mean the jump to metamodernist. If you don’t make the whole analytical jump to metamodernist, you can land into a neoreactionary conclusion. Meaning you read up on Julius Evola, and you put your hopes to Steven Bannon.You will start conspiring against the modern world because you want the world basically to become some version of a Nazi horror show. That’s not a good solution.

This kind of reaction clearly can be observed on several 4chan boards.

Has anyone read Freinacht's books. Is he real deal or pseud?
