35/
Also, maybe my "High Theory" maps to part of Kegan 4, and "Low theory" / "diversity of theories" maps to Kegan 5 and all that associated @Meaningness stuff

36/ When you start out with a theory that you are convinced explains EVERYTHING, then things that do not mesh well with the theory get denied, ignored, or attacked. When you have multiple small theories, a thing that does not fit with T1 perhaps fits with T2.

37/ This thread touched on earlier trads who want to tie architecture aesthetics into a just economy for the working man, which is tied into traditional families, which is tied into Christianity, which is ... I think, OTOH, that those each demand their own theory.

38/ Ayn Rand also did High Theory, where aesthetics = politics = epistemology = philosophy so tiresome

40/ I'm also a fan of low theory, not high, in governance. Common Law is low theory - "here's what kinda more or less worked over time, and there's no a coherent philosophical basis for the whole thing beyond pragmatism."

Prince-philosopher Coinaday 🤴 🧐 @coinaday1Great thread but missing this: We need such a "High Theory" as the base of our personal narrative. And yet it will be false. The solution is to choose a relatively harmless lie, such as "Coinaday is the only significant Prophet in the last thousand years" and run with it. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1315646152331726849 …1 reply 0 retweets 9 likesShow this thread -
42/ I can't imagine basing my own personal narrative on something that I can't help but see as nonsensical. But, OTOH, that means that I don't have much of a personal narrative. I guess it boils down to "I try to do X, but !@# happens and I end up doing Y instead". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

43/ "Conversational tool", you say? Well, I've tried screaming "you are stupid, and you are saying stupid things, and please stop that" at people, but I can't really recommend it as being effective.https://twitter.com/WomanCorn/status/1315668389164089345 …
