Took me reading a whole book to understand the importance of this. (Edward de Bono's "Po: Beyond Yes & No". Which, unfortunately, is written in such a way as to be very hard to read for people who don't already understand the very concept he's explaining https://amzn.to/2WyPTUE )https://twitter.com/devonzuegel/status/1111664519544135681 …

At the bottom I link to this book review which isn't particularly great but given that my draft/outline isn't even finished might be helpful. https://jamescrisp.org/2009/10/23/po-beyond-yes-and-no-by-edward-de-bono-book-review/ …

i am going to save the link for later, found your outline very approachable and helpful and have no plans to read the book at this time and am not even sorry.

Yeah, I think that while PO has 3 meanings, the first is probably the most key? Also ffs everything is just getting subsumed in McGilchrist's
hemisphere model.
Still useful, but really important to understand that this thinking shift is not a small one—a whole paradigm.pic.twitter.com/imBP9Q8SIK

Feels related to @Meaningness's fluid mode too. Looking for certainty ~ a form of eternalism (https://meaningness.com/eternalism ), looking for other ways of looking at things ~ ontological remodeling (https://meaningness.com/eggplant/remodeling …).
