      @Meaningness Hi David, wanted to let you know I'm really grateful for your work on Meaningness / the other blogs. Your writing was one of the few things that made my Stage 4.5 flailing-in-the-void bearable, enough for me to kind of grok at metasystematicity!

      I'm still grappling with how I can contribute to the field of metarationality, or at least get the ideas out there in public discourse after they've helped me so much.

      Would you have any suggestions for young students curious about how to proceed and make a difference after looking at these issues - ideas or areas of research that seem unaddressed? Is it mostly a matter of popularizing these concepts? Thanks again for all the great writing.

      I’ll think about that… an answer is not coming immediately to mind, I’m afraid!

          I'm curious to see if something comes up, & my first intuition is to share some of the important aspects of your 4.5 journey in a way that could resonate with people on a similar trajectory. Maybe start with, "I wish this was available on my journey."

          I've mulled over making an "Existential Crisis Survival Guide" for a year now! Mostly hesitating because I don't have any psych / philosophy bona fides and fear that giving bad advice to existentially depressed people could really backfire. Then again...

          I'll selfishly suggest coming to the Monastic Academy...partly because I want fellow travelers to play with (there are already quite a few). Attempting to make it an epicenter of meta-rationality / meta-modernism in the coming years. :) http://www.monasticacademy.com

          Yes, I'm definitely looking out for any chance to come for an apprenticeship between college semesters! I'll let you know when I can stop by and say hi.

          I'm thinking that one way to explore would be, "What am I already involved with / familiar with / skilled in / interested in / caring about, and how might that connect with metasystematicity?"

          Maybe that's through the lens of a specific field or purpose like, "Metarationality for education / communication systems / ecology / politics / economics / spirituality / etc." As in, bringing that translation & interconnection to a particular group.
