Haha sorry, I understand that reaction to quite a lot of sociological theory.
Personally I find this the easiest simple mental model for reflexive modernity:
"Modernity linearly accelerated change. Reflexive modernity loops back on itself and accelerates the acceleration". So a bit of "singularity is near".
The whole theory itself has quite a bit more baggage, but again I agree, the wikipedia article does not help at all.

- maccard 1y agoHonestly the Wikipedia article reads like it was written by someone who doesn’t understand the topic. The linked page to “reflexive” is much better, FWIW.
