"I think these trends are due to the abject failure of post-modernism as an ideology and suggest a return to modernism or even pre-modernist thought."

"People in poetry world tend to blame modernist elitism (among less compelling suggestions like lack of diversity and the rise of rap) - there is something wrong with the *content* of poetry that's turning people off - but I don't think this is true. Elitism emerges as a response to popular stagnatio"
"STEM people are one of the best examples of why modernism failed. These academics simply not tuff!!!"

"The modernist idea of art as a sacrosanct and autonomous communion with the object is actually good and necessary. This is more true than ever given the sensory overload of modern life and the constant intensification of social media driven by the desire for profit and behavioral manipulation."
