Interesting disconnect between performed and felt identity these days. I think many can seem to perform "have self-authorship" on instagram/twitter without actually being stage 5 in their lives overall.

Yes… although dissonance between public and private selves, and the alienation that induces, has been a major theme for a century or more.
What seems new: social media make everyone’s performances more public, and also atomize their productions into disconnected fragments.
I think you're going to lose the pedantry battles if your popularization succeeds :D
I just remembered I wrote this thing in 2007 about this stuff. Hadn't heard of Kegan at that point. Would be interesting to revisit in Kegan light. I was also younger
I was post-authentic before it was cool 🙂
Speaking of which there seems to be a sudden crop of posts on post-authenticity. Maybe idea is finally going normie.
