So the vision of the future is people pushing back and forth, the chuunibyous trying to fill the world with dark magic rituals and the postmodernists wincing at their unawesome sincerity and trying to paint everything with as many layers of awesome irony as they can.

This is the unextrapolated awesomeness. I think we would tend to agree on much more of what is awesome if we extrapolated.

Also, from a personal perspective, I rather like quiet comfort, although I cannot really say it's "awesome".

This is a serious bug. Non-exciting and comfortable can be awesome, even though the word doesn't bring it to mind. Thanks.
