Thought it diminished thoughts that should be spent on this life. Metanarratives- over arching theory or set of claims about something, usually existence or life, however it makes a claim of its own that it, the metanarrative, is a universal truth, or a universal truth claim. All claims of universal truth are suspect, using meechoos phrase= perspectives. Fundamentally any system of thought that regards its explanation of reality as undeniable truth and independent of the context of which the system has developed and is maintained.
