      1️⃣ Systematic thinking went out of fashion as a badge of membership in the cognitive elite, back in the 1980s, partly because it’s rigid and brittle.

      2️⃣ Pomo replaced systematic cognition as the badge of high academic achievement, because—done well—it’s more difficult, and it evades the foundational crisis in rationality. Disastrously, though, it’s useless for problem-solving; its only value is personal advertisement.

      3️⃣ Let’s make fluid, meta-systematic thinking the new fashionable IQ signaling device! It's even more difficult than pomo, AND it accurately addresses practical problems!

          4️⃣ We can do this. Intellectual fashions are not ordained by God, or random catastrophes. Perverse institutional incentives, and broad social changes, do play a role... But so does individual choice, and collective resistance to idiocy. We have agency to make change.

          What about not aiming for fashionability but integrity?

          Any thoughts on the best way to present the fluid mode that might appear attractive, captivating, intriguing so that it could become fashionable?

          Well, that’s my project, overall, and I’m doing the best I can in the small fraction of my time available… I expect many other approaches are possible, and hope others will pursue them!

          Systems thinking not as absolutely authority, but as a clarifying perspective.
