Eli5: What is modernism and post-modernism?
In: 81
Modernism: Science is amazing! Everything is amazing! New discoveries will solve all problems. New art is the way! Make it New!
Post-modernism: Everything you thought was New! was actually a mashup of Old. In fact, everything you think you thought, was actually just a pleasant repetition of other peoples thoughts that they thought they thunked. We should apply this mindset to everything from economics to architecture to art to the physical reality of the world.
