Re frustration, anger or envy of others who seem to easily function in an unconscious mix of stage 3/4 modes, well, reasoning did help more with that. For one, societies do function without ppl having much understanding about the wheels and how they mesh.

So it is not a terrible problem, not necessary that ppl understand in the mode I do. You have to engage with ppl where they are. This especially helped with anger I was feeling toward ppl in denial about evo psych, genetics, who did not place moral value on scientific truth.

It also helped to appreciate that ppl are importantly different in how they behave, motivate, and believe, and that I was in a weird esoteric discipline space which most ppl were not capable of going to.

I don't think it would be kind to sell postrat view to ppl who haven't stumbled off the stage 4 precipice. But this is not really a problem because it sounds like gibberish to ppl who are secure in their reality tunnel.

"sell" sounds a little weird to me in this context, but I agree with you that trying to force one point of view over another on some one who has to make up their mind for themselves would not be an optimal road to take. Yet, there's society. Doing just that. All the time. To all.

Kind of moot, b/c it seems ppl can't go there unless they both have weird turn of mind and are ready/have no choice, but eg. think about how stage 4.25 pomo and critical theory is being pushed to ppl who are not really even at 4. I'm maybe at 4.62, and it is not a happy place.

This is the first time I’ve seen three digits—love it! Maybe we should have an -ometer?

More seriously, I’ve wondered if some sort of self-assessment tool could be useful. Doing a serious job of it would take serious science that I’m not up for, but but maybe even an amateurish “for entertainment purposes only” version would be of some use.

Of course, it might also be worse than useless. Psychology is hard.

Hmmm, I might know enough psych methods to do a bad job. Re personality psych, it seems that ppl on my Twitters who have mentioned it are >99% on openness, <10% on agreeableness, and probably high on neuroticism.

It could be fun to collaborate on this at some point! (so many projects, so little time)
