anarcho-realism

A political theory of sensualism that is bounded on the material side by synthetic Marxism and on the metaphysical side by synthetic fascism.

The fourth (and last) theory of politics that involves human will or effection.

Precedes meta-realism, metamodernism, or meta-consciousness.

Also known as 'synthetic realism'.

Technologically distinguished by constructivist (conscious) materialism.

While hyperreal primitivism is a subculture of anarcho-realism, meta-culture is congruent to it.

Also called synthetic anarchy.

Synarchy creates the paradoxical (contrapositive) state of law (formalism) and rights (self-reference).

baroque

Aesthetic that follows cues of cyclical time; a cyclical time aesthetic particular to high-context Southern European Catholic countries in the 17 and 1800's. Reflected in its successors including modernism (in particular art deco) and supermodernity (in particular neomodernism).

Philadelphia follows Baroque time in its case Italian design motifs reinforced by German architectural interpretations.

lolife

Life in post-postmodern supermodernity. Post-ironic dystopian existence which lacks even a unifying materialistic mythos (pop culture) emblematic of the 90's; and existence is the only joke. Ironically humorless existence

Also Donald Trump is President. Yay for the glorious future!

In the 90's kids aspired to the Nickelodeon life; as a 2017 adult, I can only look forward to the lolife. Even the cartoons are bad
