Sometimes it seems in your writing "meta-systematicity" & "fluidity" are somewhat interchangeable, but sometimes not. Wondering if the distinction includes something like "in a fluid society, kids would grow up in fluid mode the whole time but still need to learn systems"?

Hmm, no, I don’t think so. Growing up in modernity didn’t make everyone systematic.

Every time I read one of your snippets I think “this could have been so much more fun if he’d flipped the coordinate system upside down on day 1 and used the sub- or infra- prefixes”

Unfortunately, I’m just not very much fun, as anyone who knows me well can confirm

One question I've had for a while: is metasystematicity a single skill you develop once and forever? Or do you need to achieve it anew in different domains?
-
I read “in over our heads” a couple months ago and it pretty strongly suggests you need to achieve it in different domains (but once you solve it in one it becomes a lot easier in others)

What is the deep driver of that meta-systematic understanding? What drives neural organization so that one can make the various leaps? Empathetic connection and development. Check out Matt Lieberman's book, 'Social'. Evolution vs. Sophistication also matters.pic.twitter.com/PVyMPG1Ggf

BTW -- this chart is mine, not Matt's.

HGSE has a few researchers looking at second language acquisition like a second system. Language is probably a different system than you envision here, but they are finding interesting later-in-life cognitive benefits to bilingualism...

I wonder...this supposes a rational and intellectual understanding that all models are wrong, some models are useful, and being able to switch between and evaluate such. But is it possible to have direct experience that the map is not the territory without the thought piece?
