Once upon a time, philosophy crawled out of Plato's cave, and life with it was enjoyable. Talking about it was fascinating, and studying it was ecstasy. This was before Kierkegaard took center stage with his political philosophy, Schopenhauer with his decisive judgments, Nietzsche was no joke, and Sartre plunged us into a storm of intoxication in search of essence. We didn't recover from this dizziness until we were unable to see each other in a giant gray cloud claiming to be the grand narrative; a unified, complete, comprehensive, and epistemologically certain story, in regard to everything. The postmodern ogre devours all knowledge and seeks to describe itself. He appeases psychology in the machine age, infiltrates novel writing with artificial intelligence, and rearranges the original questions of innocence about the origin of the universe and the meaning of happiness. The game continues, and we hear a defense of astrology, magic, and alternative medicine, and skepticism about the values ​​of the Enlightenment. We return to simplicity, addressing issues in traditional ways, and combating the complexities of philosophy with a new, more complex philosophy. Modern philosophies legitimize their truth claims (as they themselves claim) not on logical or empirical grounds, but on the basis of their own accepted stories about knowledge and the world. Distancing yourself from images and ghosts, you rise above the thick cloud of metamodernism in our postmodern condition. In the wake of the collapse of modern grand narratives, people develop a new language game. No one can anymore claim absolute truth, but instead support a world of ever-changing relationships!
