You're welcome! I'm not sure what it is exactly that you're thinking about on a regular basis, but you may enjoy the first link at the very top, the site What Is Metamodern? It's a great site looking at popular culture - films, tv, music etc - that bear the hallmarks of metamodernism. Linda and Greg are doing brilliant work.
Thank you for the Metamodern link tip. I will look into that. When I referenced all the stuff I think about, I was referring to the section of your essay that talked about geologic time and how when faced with the billions of years of earth's lifespan, our borders, political games and petty misunderstandings become just that, petty and small. We matter and we don't matter. I loved how you wrote about meaning in our lives being localized. My family is important to ME, and that gives my life meaning. What I absolutely loved about Don't Look Up was it incapsulated the absurdity of our BIG BOX, twitter feed, status mad lives, and at the end it all boiled down to humans breaking bread together and being thankful. Both my husband and I thought that if an asteroid were to hit we would want to go out with our family and friends gathered, eating a good meal and being grateful for the abundance of the life we had. Again, I just loved having you articulate so beautifully what the movie was getting at AND what this life is about.
Oh My GOD, thank you!!! This is everything I think about on a regular basis and you know how to put it into words. Just...thank you.
