Even today, the majority of the world’s population, by quite a margin, still operate primarily with pre-modern cultural code. But in the meantime, the modern symbols have broken down under their own weight. This has produced a new cultural code, which is here called “post”-modernism. And then—even postmodernism has broken down, and in comes “meta”-modernism. There is a pattern to this, a Realdialektik: You cannot go from traditional religion directly to metamodernism. Only when postmodernism has been around for decades, can metamodern symbols start breaking through and become part of society.
