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.

I’m also working on this, in my own way. I’ve noticed that having conversations with people about what they find meaningful, and offering reflections about how they are constructing that meaning, is incredibly and naturally engaging in a way that people seem hungry for.

Nice… what you say here reminds me of the “Natural Therapy” chapter in Kegan’s _Evolving Self_

Too put it differently: having conversations about what’s already meaningful and relevant but in a way that gently reveals how the meaning-making is a participatory phenomenon.

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.
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!
