Better ways of thinking, feeling, and acting—around problems of meaning and meaninglessness; self and society; ethics, purpose, and value.

Lots of us are coming at this from very different directions and fields, and are probably mostly only vaguely aware of each others' work. Maybe it's time to curate a compendium, coordinate a network, or start assembling new institutions. cc @patrickc
@EricRWeinstein's discussion of "kayfabe" in science was really great, as you note! At the same time, I think the large majority of participants are unaware that it's pretending, and have never doubted they are doing actual science, because no one has explained otherwise.
I have a draft post titled “How to tell whether your field is bullshit.” I think this should be a mandatory seminar for STEM college seniors before they apply to graduate school. A big part of “meta-rationality” is asking whether your formally correct work connects with reality.
Thank you for the link to the “story of science” piece! I haven’t read more than the screenshot, but that seems spot-on. Feynman’s Cargo Cult lecture is seminal in this area. In case you haven’t read it: http://calteches.library.caltech.edu/51/2/CargoCult.htm …
I’ve written a follow-on, trying to explain a piece Feynman said he wasn’t sure how to think about:https://meaningness.com/metablog/upgrade-your-cargo-cult …
There’s two disciplines that are making rapid, inspiring progress at tackling the fundamental problems, namely social&personality psychology, and statistics. Both are doing what I would call “meta-rational” work, asking hard questions about how, when, whether, & why methods work.
In psychology, this has led to startling and heartening reforms of methods and institutions. Leaders in this area include the @blackgoatpod crew (@siminevazire, @hardsci, @alexa_tullett) and @BrianNosek (as mentioned by @jsdenain).

There’s a meta-rational revolution in statistics now: it’s become obvious that rote application of existing methods gets meaningless results, and you have to ask hard questions about how, when, whether, and why methods work.

David Chapman added,
I think you already know about @michael_nielsen’s work (some of it in collaboration with @patrickc). His podcast that I tweeted a few days ago has some of the best thinking about institutional reform I’ve come across.

Definitely follow @jamesheathers, who (on top of everything else) is very funny and tweets cat pictures on weekends.
He has collaborated with @sTeamTraen, who would be another good source for further sources:https://twitter.com/sTeamTraen/status/1122076071422308352 …
David Chapman added,
I dunno, just thinking out loud, maybe we could learn something from Eric Weinstein about how to create and coordinate a movement…
