How should we evaluate tools for thought? There's no simple metric, as far as I can tell. The best tools change your paradigm anyway, so your old metrics (books printed per year?) aren't what matter. Here's one (vague, but focusing): how much meaning is unlocked on the margin?
I'm worried I don't know what you mean by "leading indicator" but it seems to me that you might analyze the discourse surrounding the tool. The shared google doc convo for instance generates a certain kind of conversation. And is it really thought if it's not shared?

(Leading indicator: something you can measure as an early sign for what you really want to measure) This is a great point! E.g. impact of many reform teaching ideas in
#mtbos discourse before in widespread academic outcomes. Re: your last q—transcendent spiritual experience? -
(Thanks -- now I get it!) Transcendent spiritual experience is interesting. Though if it's really uncommunicable -- in images, words, poetry, etc. -- I start losing confidence that there is anything really experienced. Though I have to admit this is hard for me to think through.
