If you are smart and lucky, by the time you get your PhD, you have figured out that your research discipline is fatally flawed and no meaningful progress is possible. Now you are stuck: unemployable except as an active colluder in obscuring this reality.
Institutional reforms to unlock smart people stuck in dead-end disciplines might dramatically increase research productivity https://meaningness.com/metablog/upgrade-your-cargo-cult …pic.twitter.com/hHeqDirqBF
This is a great essay on values vs norms!
:) Can you say more about how it lines up with the way you use those terms?
If you look closely, the values of science (utter honesty, courage, lustful curiosity) differ in kind from the norms (incl methods, publication formats, normal honesty). Norms vs values have different methods of contagion (performance vs admiration/inspiration/...)
and they also inform individual choice differently. This means that through either introspection or studying a social environment a person can separate norms vs values (within their own practice or in a community of practice).
Values can also be named rather precisely. You take the first step in adding lustful to curiosity. But you could go further (see attached). Capturing the values of a community of practice is incredibly useful, especially if you then try to break the norms.pic.twitter.com/Rxs9jtRMv3
Finally, those who've learned to see this distinction quickly, they operate very differently in the world. A difference of the sort you mean when you talk about metasystemicity.
Values vs norms also shed light on the meaning (vs performance) of science. (meaning in the sense of life meaning not sentence meaning). Values account for meaning. Without naming values it is hard to account for meaning and meaning tend to get lost in larger systems.
I think transdisciplinary efforts could go a long way here.
Yes. This would help to loosen up the cult-like practices in academia.
This - "reforms to unlock smart people" - is solution focused... and so fails the market test
The incentives of the system are such that it benefits the institutions to bring in as many students as possible for as long as possible, and to teach them as little as possible! (so as not to compete with their lecturers for jobs/grants/recognition).
