The provided texts offer an exploration of metanarratives, primarily through a philosophical lens. One source simply introduces the topic with an excerpt from a philosopher named Bry Willis, while the other, more substantial source from a blog called "Philosophics," discusses the postmodern critique of metanarratives, which is described as an "incredulity toward metanarratives" as coined by Lyotard. This second source details the problems with these historical and teleological origin stories, arguing that they suffer from survivorship bias, privileged perspectives, and an unwarranted belief in a predetermined future destination. The subsequent comments section expands the discussion, engaging with critiques of philosophers like Foucault and touching upon concepts such as intentionality and speculative realism.
