Fascinating story about engineering education, rocket science, race car tires, technical rationality’s limits, and embodied understanding!

Can anyone from @NASAJPL say whether it is actually true? Confirms my priors, but I can’t find online verification.

@NASAJPL The problem with contemporary engineering education, h/t @JohnDCook. Kids these days

@NASAJPL @JohnDCook Engineering education used to begin with kids helping fix up old cars or disassembling WWII surplus electronics.

A process of apprenticeship (cf @SamoBurja video I retweeted earlier via @_awbery_)

& embodied, embedded, extended, enactive cognition!

🎙 Robert Kegan explaining his adult developmental theory, with @dthorson

“If you want to be Stage 5 because all the cool kids are, that’s a Stage 3 aspiration. If you want it because Stage 5 is the Correct way of thinking, that’s a Stage 4 aspiration.”

anchor.fm/emerge/episode…
@dthorson Daniel asked Kegan about his claim that no one reaches Stage 5 before age 40. Kegan said that’s what’s in the data from their measurement process: zero cases.

This is somewhat puzzling…
@dthorson Other researchers using similar but not identical measures find “meta-systematic cognition,” seemingly analogous to Kegan’s Stage 5 thinking, starting for some in late 20s (partial intellectual understanding of it sometimes starting early 20s).

Informally I think I see this too.

@KevinSimler @context_ing Right, I nearly added a tweet about principal-agent when originally replying to you!

There are lots of categories of things that offer pieces of the service one would want, but most of them are fatally compromised by principal-agent conflicts.
@KevinSimler @context_ing To take the original example, there are insurance advisors and insurance agents (different things), but they are mainly or entirely compensated by the insurance companies, acting as outsourced/freelanced sales people, so their “advice” is unreliable.
@KevinSimler @context_ing And, they don’t do the main thing you actually want, which is not selecting an insurance company, but dealing with their paperwork and screw-ups and (likely-fraudulent gray-area) coverage denials.

@reasonisfun Hopefully maybe soon, but I haven’t done any work on that page since 2007, so possibly not very soon. (I still care about all the parts of the book and “intend” to finish them, but get <10% time for writing, so most of it may never happen.)

However, I can answer questions :)
@reasonisfun So a meta explanation first, addressing possible confusions… this is not “ordinary language philosophy” so it’s not analyzing how people use the word “special” (although that may be helpful). It’s pointing at a “stance” meaning a complex of thoughts, feelings, and ways of acting
@reasonisfun The particular stance this “special” wants to point at is something like “chosen by Destiny,” although not always *quite* so grandiose as that phrase.

Det är svårt att föreställa sig om det som sker i Kina. Uppenbarligen samlar de in dissidenter. All internet trafik är spärrad utom de källor som kommer via den kinesiska staten. Det som pågår i Kina angående #Coronavirus är en krigshandling av främmande makt.
Det här viruset är
gjord av människan. Ryssland, Indien, Taiwan vet att viruset innehåller HIV.

Därmed är skiten tillverkad av människan. Det sägs att den slår hårdare mot kinesiska män än mot andra raser, vilket betyder att denna "attack" kommer ej från deras egna led.

Fortsättning följer.

A thread on how to drive mass sustainability change.

@mokka is asking not for policies per se, but change-mechanisms, that can activate massive change within a decade.

I see four #consensus targets to trigger mass change

1 Limits
2 Infrastructure
3 Aspirations
4 Society
But first a quick comment on this question itself.

The first challenge is framing - where to start, what + how to target: some of the starting points and goals are not obvious.

Pushing a rock uphill is harder than pushing one downhill, obviously.

So: Which rock and which hill?
0 Framing

A lot of change is based on unstated frames of view, mainly:

Democratic (elected governance)
Para-democratic (popular mvts)
Technocratic, and above all
Economic (framing the world as producers and consumers).

These are bad frames. Not these rocks, not these hills.

I would be more than happy to guide on anyone who wishes to start learning #NimblrTA

The idea is let's do it for next 30 days and review where we are and what change it may bring.

Content is what is readily available but would be done in steps.

Once done you may ask queries or if something is not clear or may have feedback, open discussion and learning.

Efforts will be yours to enlearn!

Can we talk about this @DerSPIEGEL lying reporter story and how it shows the sort of imperial, racialised group think many of us have been flagging up for a LONG time.

It isn't just that a reporter LIED but that the organisation and culture ENABLED it.
So let's start with that Relotius won LOADS of journalistic awards including "the German Reporter Prize on FOUR different occasions, the Peter Scholl Latour Prize and the Konrad-Duden, the Kindernothilfe and the Catholic and Coburger media awards"
It continues: "He was named CNN "Journalist of the Year," he was honored with the Reemtsma Liberty Award, the European Press Prize and he even landed on the Forbes magazine list of the "30 under 30 - Europe: Media."

#Russia-n mercenaries are now showing up everywhere in #Africa: one country in particular is the #CAR where Russians are also providing weapons. Also present in the #Niger Delta of #Nigeria actually helping the rebels that target the western oil companies. bit.ly/2KkU0OD
Fascinating story on how #Russia entered the #CAR. It was blocking a delivery of weapons from #France to #Bangui so #Macron told CAR President to go and convince Russia to unblock the sale. Instead Russia saw an opportunity to sell its own weapons to CAR. bit.ly/2rj8kyH
3 #Russian journalists killed in #CAR while filming #Wagner, the private military firm run by Evgeny #Prigozhin used especially in #Syria, part of #Putin's inner circle. Documentary was part of @tzurrealism, supported by Mikhail #Khodorkovsky.
