Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Jul 25, 2016Good stuff. Wish the argument were recast in intrinsic form that avoids the schema of levels/types and metaness thoQuote TweetDavid Chapman@Meaningness·Jul 25, 2016‽ “A first lesson in meta-rationality”: in a STEM curriculum for cognitive 4→5 transition. http://meaningness.com/metablog/bongard-meta-rationality…2210
David Chapman@Meaningness·Jul 25, 2016Replying to @vgrThank you! I’m not sure what you mean by “intrinsic,” or what that would be in this case?3

Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Jul 25, 2016Replying to @Meaningnessthe post itself is probably irrelevant to this discussion. Key q is what are equivalent of arc-length, curvature torsion etc.1
Adam Strandberg@strandbergbio·Jul 25, 2016Replying to @vgr and @Meaningnessthe formulation as Kegan makes it is all about taking what were previously extrinsic variables and making them intrinsic21
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Jul 25, 2016Replying to @strandbergbio and @MeaningnessIt is? The way the levels were described seemed more extrinsic to me. Maybe I'm missing something.1
Xavier Snelgrove@wxswxs·Jul 25, 2016Replying to @vgr and @MeaningnessDifferential geometry is such a beautiful frame to metaphorically understand things! I use it, probably too much :)
David Chapman@Meaningness·Jul 25, 2016Replying to @vgrNot yet ready to comment re Kegan, but reading your post, the 3Rs are highly relevant to my own public work of past few years…11
David Chapman@Meaningness·Jul 25, 2016Replying to @vgrSo, that’s a great post; I will try to think of something vaguely intelligent to say about it and tweet a recommendation…1
