people can easily feel drawn in farther than they had expected or wanted. When spiritual and “self-development” communities create more intimate ways for people to share their inner lives, some feel pressured to overshare and end up having their intimate secrets used against them. When we feel alienated, we seek reintegration. Metamodern politics, and the listening society, must empower people to reintegrate the parts of life that have been spliced into shards: the personal, the civic and the professional.
