Oh, I had no idea Lip was in The Bear! Haven't seen that one though I keep hearing about it. Also finally did the Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul cycle this year; BCS's epic sprawl is the perfect reframe of BB's Shakepearean gravitas. But my real gateway drug to metamodern TV was Bojack Horseman.

Only partway through your article so far but this is wonderful - now I'm very motivated to read the book! BTW, recently started watching Shameless after you namechecked that as a quintessential metamodern show. I totally see what you mean! In middle of Season 3, great show.

Oh wait, you got Shusterman, not the mythical Schusterman. Much less exciting!
Chris Schuck @chrisschuck.bsky.social · Jun 29
You got Schusterman! Congratulations. Looking forward to that as well as your other interview.

We'll have to talk Better Call Saul sometime - finally finished the whole show.

Thoughtful mini-review of a great Black Mirror episode. Always good to see Davood back on YouTube, when he can make it. Check out his Patreon as well!

Awesome episode, thanks for posting that!

This is a hell of an essay. (Or should I call it a poem?).

"life goes on" is not an ending; it's the beginning of everything you haven't lived yet.

Where did you see this?

In that sense it has instrumental value, I suppose. It's interesting how it tends to get conflated with honesty. Or even self-honesty. But authenticity seems a bit different; as much existential as epistemic or virtue. Perhaps bc we continue to "become who we are." Looking forward to your book!

For what it's worth, I have always thought of authenticity as morality-adjacent and sometimes overlapping with ethics but not inherently ethical in itself. Perhaps it's best viewed in terms of discerning the real reasons for doing what you do or valuing what you value, as opposed to "right" reasons.

Looks great -any chance the talk may eventually be available online? I registered for the webinar but sadly was not free to join because of the time difference.

Oh, that sounds great! That's how I prefer to learn: lots of reference points and discussion of interconnections between them. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I know nothing about this book, but my friend @dgozli.bsky.social speaks highly of Greg Dember's work on metamodernism, so maybe check out his book too?

My immediate thought about the "metamodernism" thing is: old wine in new bottles? But maybe that's the whole point!

Although, one of the commenters underneath made a good point that even from the standpoint of theoretical understanding, psychological systems are evolved for non-lab environments and thus (aside from real-world irrelevance) what happens in controlled lab conditions may not yield accurate knowledge.

Maybe the appeal is precisely that it's a space where they can share and acknowledge their (perceived) vulnerabilities and build solidarity around this belief in a common threat, not unlike people being vulnerable together in non-toxic spaces, only predicated on very different assumptions.

Quite sad to hear Roberta Flack just passed. One of the greats. Do check out her cover of Suzanne (the whole Killing Me Softly album is a classic).

Interesting - makes sense to me that self-report with the buffer of extra time and privacy would be more conducive to bringing out that wider range and diversity vs. real-time interviews, but maybe your experience has been opposite.

Do you mean 2nd ed. self-report, or longer one? Can you say more about what you think it manages to capture, that other analogous scales don't? I have taken it more X than I can count and find it extremely frustrating. But perhaps it's simply the inherent limitations of questionnaires, not Y-BOCS.

Whoa, so that was a bot asking you about novels capturing reality?
Chris Schuck @chrisschuck.bsky.social · Feb 12
Done!

Happy to send it - just tell me where. (And I think it's in her PhilPapers for future reference).
