Hey @Meaningness do these poll results track with Kegan? I'd map first 2 options to level 3, third option to level 4, 4th option to level 5 maybe.

Yes, I can see an alignment there, analogically at least. (He uses the term “stage” rather than “level,” to be pedantic about it.)

Interesting disconnect between performed and felt identity these days. I think many can seem to perform "have self-authorship" on instagram/twitter without actually being stage 5 in their lives overall. I'm amazed at how teens manage the schizoid condition

Yes… although dissonance between public and private selves, and the alienation that induces, has been a major theme for a century or more. What seems new: social media make everyone’s performances more public, and also atomize their productions into disconnected fragments.

To be pedantic again, Kegan used “self-authorship” to describe stage 4, not 5.https://medium.com/@NataliMorad/part-2-how-to-be-an-adult-kegans-theory-of-adult-development-ddf057b4517b …

I think you're going to lose the pedantry battles if your popularization succeeds :D I just remembered I wrote this thing in 2007 about this stuff. Hadn't heard of Kegan at that point. Would be interesting to revisit in Kegan light. I was also youngerhttps://www.ribbonfarm.com/2007/11/01/personal-brands-identity-and-perception-management/ …

I like that post! And, yeah, it’s a similar arc. Kegan did draw on all the psychologists you mention. So the similarity is unsurprising.

I was post-authentic before it was cool
Speaking of which there seems to be a sudden crop of posts on post-authenticity. Maybe idea is finally going normie.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

That’s interesting… denouncing authenticity has been on my to-do list for a decade. Too late I guess.

The posts I’ve seen so far have all been about fashion/design/hipsters etc. Nobody appears to have done the psych angle yet.
