I should have phrased my previous comment as a question—what do you see as valuable about the second half without the first half?
Maybe I can mostly answer that question for myself, though.
“Developing Ideas” is related to the first half, but it’s in an inventive frame—so confabulation is much less of a concern. (But we might similarly doubt it and ask for empirical support.)
“Inner Sim” has separate validation presumably (although I haven’t looked into this).
The motivated cognition section?
“Correcting Yourself” has a pretty obvious story about why it should be useful.
Explaining things to others is very generally observed to be useful, and the connection I make to the first half could be seen as spurious or at least not particularly important.
The question of how to do gears thinking more and better is just pretty important all around. But I think my particular remarks are not any more empirically validated than the memory stuff I mentioned.
Understanding others—same as gears. Important, but not a lot to back up my remarks.
I think what I’m going to do is post a question about what could/should go into such a sequence.
