He didn't create it, he anticipated it. To be honest, even acknowledging our post-modern status is still a fairly niche position, theres a reason that even some academics talk as if "postmodernism" is an abstract concept they can choose to subscribe to or not, rather than the world they already wake up into every morning.

There can't be an "after" until we recognize our "in". Zoomers might be the transition point. They breathe the postmodern world like air, it suits them. The tik tok videos pretending to be people in times they've never seen, places they've never been. They are the spectacle incarnate. Its incredible to watch, I don't even judge, I find the crazy little bastards interesting but totally alien at the same time.

What would academia even look like if they tacitly acknowledged that fact? Fewer philosophy professors debating outdated metaphysical topics like physicalism, essentialism, etc.? It's hard to imagine academia becoming any more dry and shallow as it is now.

you give up pseud hacks, abandon all so called "philosophers" other than plato/neoplatonists/aristotle/scholastics and then go read the vedic wisdom and FINALLY embrace guenon (pbuh)

Its hard to say but I suspect that the analytic/continental divide would all but dissolve, probably a dash more theology, and god willing, sociology would be kicked to the dust bin of history where it belongs. I think it would bring richness back to academia once everyone gets over their collective pearl clutch.

This anon is correct.

Exactly this. At this point I’m really just anticipating the next big figure who’s going to properly diagnose our current era and lead people to recognize our status. At the moment we’re just locked in the Spectacle and the decadent culture war bullshit it performs. People are not willing to assess our era as a whole, they’re still in the mindset that we’ve reached a conclusive state in the human condition and any disruption is an aberration. I especially noticed this when people were quick to condemn 2020 as the worst year ever even though COVID is still here 2021 and getting worse. They don’t even have the capacity to anticipate life getting worse, they just want to remain locked in a permanent present that keeps us bored

What are the best postmodern works to start with?

>>17431692
We still live in a postmodern world. We haven't overcome it.

>>17431958
Yeah, even after all of this disruption, we've somehow been plunged even deeper into the same presuppositions. We can't see past our own noses. You can almost feel the desperation. "Falling" indeed.

>>17431692
Nothing. We continue to live as per the will and rule of our masters. We can also give a changed ruling style a different name, like "anti-postmodernism" or something. Nothing more.

based and Kuhn-pilled.
There simply will become a more prominent paradigm which new people will flock to while the older postmodernist ideas lose new followers and slowly die away and become forgotten.
