he is describing post-postmodernism as pseudo-modernism/performativism. summarizes the mini-consensus on the issue in a minute sharp. good for ppl with short attention spans. =)
Post-postmodernism to me isn't so much people finding meaning, as it is MEANING finding meaning. It is a means of taking out the "ultimate" in philosophy, and turning the word "truth" into something less dogmatic. It isn't something self-evident or autonomous but is a system whereby it needs OTHER truths to exist.
I think you're right: that sounded like a proposal for postpostmodernism and fear. However, the obvious was stated: narcissism is arguebly a part of a part of post-modernism, especially babyboomers and the associated condicion called boomeritis. His was just a proposal for post-postmodernism, while some people like me claim that there is a vMeme (value meme) that essentially is post-postmodernism, also known as the integral movement that proposes an evolution of consciousness and culture.
the conversation he is having with us is a postmodern one. not a postpostmodern one. his fears of the comming simulated world is the fear that drives pm thought. not a rebelion against it, not an answer to it.
No joke to get. The system of social networking and youtube works, but it is used and glued together with a form of narcissism and self-referencing. Irony is a emotion that according to psychology tries to uplift oneself to appear more better. Still, irony can be justified. Off topic, I've noticed, some people try to apply literary cricism to science, which is one of the most pathological features of some of the postmodernism, including the fact that postmodernism is a culture-only discerner.
@Fubukio No, he is not.

I think he's saying nowadays we're trying to verify whether we're in the Matrix. XD

A less stubborn form of objectivity maybe.
