Wish I could recommend a good source instead.https://twitter.com/everytstudies/status/1108008134839320579 …

Yes, in some ways the “stages” presentation is misleading, and I seriously considered dropping it in the Cofounders piece. I emphasized gradualness there.

But, there IS a sharp bend in the river. The vector from 4 to 5 is points in a completely different direction from the vector from 3 to 4 (and both of those are reasonably straight once you are heading in the right direction).

Agreed. Not obvious that it has to be this way, though: rationality to meta-rationality looks counterintuitive mostly because of how rationality has been traditionally conceived. But some people seem to go to meta-rationality directly. I think most could, with right explanation.

Or maybe I should say that some people seem to learn rationality and meta-rationality in an intertwined way, so that meta-rationality never looks counterintuitive because it's been part of the lesson all along.
