Robert Kegan explaining his adult developmental theory, with @dthorson
“If you want to be Stage 5 because all the cool kids are, that’s a Stage 3 aspiration.

And once you realize 4 can’t be made to work as advertised, you are only at 4.5 which can be several years of hell (although this seems not everyone’s experience) before you get to operate at 5 reasonably reliably, because you need to learn the 5ish skills and there’s no guide

Is there any reason to think that immersion in domains where nebulosity is more obvious (e.g. meditation, Twitter) could accelerate development? I know you've mentioned that broader cultural atomization might facilitate the development of fluidity.

I believe the answer is yes, and some academic developmentalists have suggested that this is the case too, but empirical studies are scant. I think e.g. King & Kitchener have done some intervention studies but I’ve read only summaries

I know when Zak Stein's work on stage theories emphasizes that people aren't "at a level" but that instead the level describes something that happens in a particular interaction, when supported by a particular context
-
so may be useful to think about the transition as a general stage-5ification of more and more interactions across more contexts—rather than as a whole tidal change all at once
