one of the best ways to “go meta” is actually to “go object level” very very fast, over and over, while paying attention to what works… if you have a theory about some “meta thingy” for why something worked better or worse… you can do a different thing “with the same meta thingy mixed in” and see if it transfers!
1) get on discord or slack or whatever… with 2-4 people
2) everyone writes things that could be done for 5 minutes, with some IMPLICIT hypothetical justification for why that use of five minutes would be “of enduring value”
3) the czar picks N of them within 5 minutes
4) set timers… do the things!
5) maybe have 5 minutes at the end to go around and say something interesting about the Things that were Done
after a year of this, your meta game will be MUCH less bullshit

the holy grail is skill transfer
this technique is not my invention, i learned it via verbal transmission from za3k
