"Not to assume it's impossible because you find it hard.

"A metamodern social media user might deliberately misuse a social media platform on the theory that being authentically oneself in a way that is ostentatious and perhaps even a bit annoying is more likely to be an effective form of communication and activism than making oneself smaller by playing by the rules.” -Seth Abramson Benjamin "Benji" George, a lead contributor and the email archivest of Aion Media Co, joins me today and reminds us: "Twitter is the index, not the book," regarding important ideas, and that development of the self is a process not easily captured by cynical soundbites.  This is reminiscent of Alfred Korzybski's quote: "The map is not the territory." The concept of "metamodernity" captures Benji's mercurial satirization of "quick fix" online self-help culture.  Benji discloses his own quest against cynicism and dismissive prescriptions to personal development. Instant "fixes" are unsustainable, but continued diligence and small actions gain traction as the foundations of positive change. By referencing "Sapiens," Yuval Harrari's masterwork, Benji informs us that narratives and stories are woven into the fabric of our species, and should be afforded the respect they deserve.  We also explore the origins of the "Alpaca Male," a spectacularly absurd joke that evolved into a "meta-meme" in it's own right.
