| - | '''Hypermodernity''' (in some cases synonymous to '''supermodernity''') is a type, mode, or stage of [[society]] that reflects a deepening or intensification of [[modernity]]. Characteristics include a deep faith in humanity's ability to understand, control, and manipulate every aspect of human experience. This typically is manifested in a forward-looking commitment to [[science]] and [[knowledge]], particularly with regard to the convergence of [[technology]] and [[biology]]. The emphasis on the value of new technology to overcome natural limitations lends itself a diminution or outright repudiation of the past, since yesterday's knowledge is always less than today's. | + | In [[logic]] and [[mathematics]], a '''truth value''', sometimes called a '''logical value''', is a value indicating the relation of a [[proposition]] to [[truth]]. |

| - | # What happened necessarily took place under "lesser" circumstances than now, which generates a fundamentally separate context. | + | * [[Bayesian probability]] |
| - | # Artifacts from the past superabundantly clutter the cultural landscape and are seamlessly reused to generate an even greater superabundance from which individuals are unable to discern original intent or meaning. | + | * [[Circular reasoning]] |

| - | Hypermodernity (also called "Supermodernity") differs from [[Modernity]] in that it has even more commitment to reason and to an ability to improve individual choice and freedom. Modernity merely held out the hope of reasonable change while continuing to deal with a historical set of issues and concerns; hypermodernity posits that things are changing so quickly that [[history]] is not a reliable guide. The positive changes of hypermodernity are supposedly witnessed through rapidly expanding wealth, better living standards, medical advances, and so forth. Individuals and cultures that benefit directly from these things can feel that they are pulling away from natural limits that have always constrained life on Earth. But the negative effects also can be seen as leading to a soulless homogeneity as well as to accelerated discrepancies between different classes and groups. | + | * [[False dilemma]] |

| - | [[Postmodernity]] differs here in that it rejects the idea of "reasonable change" while at the same time accepting that the past and its artifacts have as much value as the present. The value is primarily expressed through provisional constructs that have no lasting meaning; we cannot discern truth but we can play with the nonsense. Postmodernity is meant to describe a condition of total emergence from Modernity and its faith in progress and improvement in empowering the individual. | + | * [[Paradox]] |

| - | ==Supermodernity== | + | * [[Slingshot argument]] |
| - | If distinguished from hypermodernity, '''supermodernity''' is a step beyond the ontological emptiness of [[postmodernism]] and relies upon a view of plausible truths. Where [[modernism]] focused upon the creation of great truths (or what [[Lyotard]] called "[[master narrative]]s" or "[[metanarrative]]s"), postmodernity is intent upon their destruction ([[deconstruction]]). In contrast supermodernity does not concern itself with the creation or identification of [[truth value]]. Instead, information that is useful is selected from the superabundant sources of new media. [[Postmodernity]] and [[deconstruction]] have made the creation of truths an impossible construction. Supermodernity acts amid the chatter and excess of signification in order to escape the nihilistic tautology of postmodernity. The Internet search and the construction of interconnected blogs are excellent metaphors for the action of the supermodern subject.
