This is the modern world (Denaissance)
From the online Guardian:
“We aren’t actually living in the Dark Ages. We know the world is round and orbits the Sun. We aren’t rejecting modernity. But we have moved on from modernism, which took the perfectability of man to aggressively utopian lengths. We were made existentially queasy by post-modernism, which challenged objective truth and made all values relative.
But there isn’t yet a word to describe what happens after postmodernism. We crave reassuring certainties, but have run out of the intellectual steam to find them. The big questions of the Renaissance are still there: What is man? What is he for? Only now we answer with another question: ‘Am I bothered?’ That is the spirit of Denaissance.”
Ever wondered what the Hell was wrong with us - why most citizens of the dumbed-down, decadent, whining Western world seem to be so utterly useless?
