Daily life changes under postmodernity must be deduced after the fact rather than experienced

Evidence

That the “new narratives” lack the allegorical capacity to map or model the system can also be seen when we turn to the managerial role of the business class and its command relationship to modifications in daily life. I believe that since we now grasp social reality synchronically — in its strongest sense, which has lately been revealed as that of a spatial system — changes and modifications in daily life must henceforth be deduced after the fact rather than experienced. — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 752
