I'm sick of meta anything

Continuing this post, I don't care for Stein's descriptions of modernism, postmodernism and metamodernism. The last is sooo transcend and include, but where is the "negate and preserve" he talked about in this piece? Not everything is included, and mutual understanding is not always the goal when something like a defunct worldview is to be negated instead of bargained with. He was quite clear about that when it came to capitalism but in this talk so far (I'm only 20 minutes in) the sweetness and light of mutual (meta)understanding is cloying my taste buds.

Update: He describes as time goes on (25+ minutes) via his critique (negation) of earlier educational approaches and how they're better under metamodernism.
