What distinguishes a metamodern from a postmodern business

I was more saying that I would then reserve metamodern for something beyond this, or at least do some serious work to tease apart what distinguishes metamodern from postmodern.

@asimong

nice challenge. How do you suggest proceeding? My sense includes the recognition that it might well be useful to include reckoning with the question, why metamodern? What is the role (if I may use that word very broadly) for those with metamodern sensibility in this contemporary world?

Definitions / examples of what teal is

From https://github.com/orgs/life-itself/discussions/968#discussioncomment-7984812

Aside: it seems like https://github.com/orgs/life-itself/discussions/968 and https://github.com/orgs/life-itself/discussions/973 should merge

Makes me think we should gather definitions and examples from these various places (eg Kegan stages, teal orgs, teal in wilber etc) and then contrast and compare - this would be useful in its own right.

Eg

Kegan
Laloux
Wilber
Beck
I also think there is a lot of confusion with personal (ego) development and cultural stages.

Capacities / skills for a Second Renaissance

• What would be some capacities of the future? What capacities / skills / ways of being do we need to individually and collectively evolve? Main question for discussion on 2024-01-19
• What are individual vs. collective (emergent?) capacities? Can we distinguish them? Main question for discussion on 2024-01-26
• How does structure facilitate the development of certain capacities of being together [emergent collective capacities]? (from 2024-01-26 meeting notes)

Knowledge commons / education

• What knowledge commons content would provide a good start to supporting both 2nd renaissance and DDS? And how can we structure that content in a way that is most conducive to learning? (from 2024-01-19 meeting notes)

'Building' the transition

• What are the important societal roles needed to support a second renaissance? (from 2024-01-19 meeting notes)
• How can we facilitate more 'virtual culture' online to help support the networks we are building, through certain rituals or events, not just discussions? (from 2024-01-19 meeting notes)
• How can we have conversations (within and outside our network) to 'prepare for paradigmatic systems transformation?' (from 2024-01-19 meeting notes)
• How central should energy supply and availability be, to 2nd renaissance visioning? (from 2024-01-19 meeting notes)
