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.

Collectively, we have some choice about this. Intellectual fashions are not ordained by God, nor are they random catastrophes.

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!
