<p><span>Technological development, climate change and globalisation are challenging the national institutions and modes of goverance we created during the industrial era. In order to maintain meaningful lives, social calm and liberal democracy, we need to upgrade our meaning making to match the complexity of the world we are creating.<br/><br/></span></p>
<p><span><strong>Metamodernity</strong> is an alternative to both modernity and postmodernism, a cultural code that presents itself as an opportunity if we work deliberately towards it. It contains both indigenous, premodern, modern, and postmodern cultural elements and thus provides social norms and a moral fabric for intimacy, spirituality, religion, science, and self-exploration, all at the same time.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span><strong>Metamodernity</strong> provides us with a framework for understanding ourselves and our societies in a much more complex way. It is a way of strengthening local, national, continental, and global cultural heritage among </span>all and thus has the potential to dismantle the fear of losing one’s culture as the economy as well as the internet and exponential technologies are disrupting our current modes of societal organisation and governance.</p>

<div class="column"><p><span><strong>Metamodernity</strong> will thus allow us to be meaning making at a deeper emotional level and a higher intellectual level compared to today; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/michael.grove.98/media_set?set=a.974767569218161&type=3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">[<strong>IT</strong>] <strong>will allow us more complex understanding</strong></a>, which may match the com- plexity of the problems we need to solve. Appropriate meaning making is the best prevention against the frustrations that generally lead to authoritarian ideologies and societal instability.</span></p>
<p><span>Using metamodernity as the filter</span> <span>through which we see the world and as a template, we can create, among other things, new and appropriate education, pol- itics and institutions for our societies of the 21</span><span>st</span> <span>century. <strong><a href="http://nordicbildung.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/The_Bildung_Rose__foodforthoughtpaper_Nordic_Bildung.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A VISION such as this may even give hope</a></strong>.</span></p>
