I strongly upvoted this for various reasons (it seems intuitively right, it’s well written, it’s well thought out, it has subheads, IT ONLY INDIRECTLY INVOLVES AI), but I think it would benefit greatly from more citations/evidence. More and more lately, I find myself bouncing off of text that makes claims without invoking outside evidence pretty frequently (maybe because the chat AIs seem to cite evidence very infrequently). If I hadn’t come in already agreeing with the claims, I would have felt frustrated and might not have updated much, although it’s hard to say.
Yeah, this is meant to be read in the style of learning soft skills; try it on to see if it gives you useful lenses and keep whatever seems to work, discarding anything that doesn’t make sense to you.
I did have a few cites in the cases when I was pulling from specific concrete theories (theories of expertise, global workspace theory and predictive processing, though the PP link went to a review of the book I was pulling from rather than the book itself), but large parts of the model are mostly just a synthesis of personal experience in ways where I’d have to think quite a bit for each specific claim to know where exactly I’ve originally derived it from. It’s easier for me to just respond in the comments if anyone has questions about any particular bit.
