Hmm, This feels like a gift, or perhaps mockery, from the universe. My own father literally threatened to chase me out of his house a few days ago and hasnt spoken to me since. I naturally do not bear the same hate but.... sigh, this is all so tiring, so tiring.
Reminds me of that advice for people frustrated with and desperate to change other people: “Don’t look at them as evil or willfully ignorant, just look at them as limited” xoxo
I always called this cognitive developmental stages ala Kohlberg's ethical developmental stages. One of my sisters was never that sharp but her cognitive development seemed so much higher than my genius sister's. Average sister's lived around the world, worked with people from walks of life, and devoured classic literature. She has perspective. Meanwhile my genius sister got a 4.0 (IN COLLEGE) aka never left her room once. Or, I'm not naive but I really do believe there are two kinds of smart, just it's not streets vs. books
Profound and valuable views. Empirically though, it is very dangerous to establish a hierarchy between views of the world, with one person's worldview deemed superior, and the other person's, inferior. It is, also, almost always factually wrong, and a heavy stunt to growth.
Yes, you are correct. My essay kinda implies a rigid hierarchy but this is not what I actually think. More like a heterarchy. Frames gain or lose weight depending on what real world context demands.
We went to the moon with Newton, not relativity. Relativity is a less incomplete frame, but Newton was good enough there.
I had a philosophy / logic professor that I took many classes from in school. He would say "there are only 2 types of logic problems: completely impossible problems and fucking obvious ones.
"The fucking obvious ones were completely impossible 30 seconds ago"
"It explains why teaching feels impossible sometimes. Why showing someone a truth that changed your life bounces off them like light off a mirror. The receptor sites for that truth don't exist in their structure yet."
Finding a bridge, a clue, a seed to plant. Facilitating a future discovery and "aha" 💡 moment.
A cada reedição emerge outra compreensão, outra cognição. Como se fosse uma prensa incessante de sucessivos prófugos de Gutenberg! Como seria a reedição deste texto?

You would be interested in Robert Kegan's theory of adult development!

This is so so good! Buddhist insights that permanently update how you construct reality in a way that it’s actually hard to remember your old ways…
thanks!
