This is true of art as well. Just learned that EH Gombrich got this view of art as problem-solving from Popper.

I'm thinking of it in relation to paragraphs like these, both from Deutsch. (But he may be misreading Kuhn here, and I may be overdrawing the analogy.) I have to get back to work, but will think harder about this before my next @LetterWiki reply! Thanks for engaging. pic.twitter.com/KxVRmLJwSq

The analogy to Kegan I was driving at is that there are "problems" that seem to point more directly to the need for ontological restructuring. Unless an alternative is available, we tend to hold on to the prior paradigm -- and should, provided we don't deny there's a problem.

Presumably there's something different about what was going on in Feynman's mind when playing plates than in the circus performer's (consciously or not). How was he handling theories? Can those methods be made explicit?

Maybe there's not much of a conflict here. @Meaningness thinks there are relative, heuristic, fallible ways to arrive at good guesses. CR is largely agnostic about how the guesses get generated, but says that criticizing and (when necessary) replacing them leads to progress?

May be helpful to disambiguate the Deutschian CR terms:
Problem: Conflict between "theories" (including things like emotions, perceptions, and procedural knowledge).
CR: Evolutionary process by which we solve problems. Variation (conjecture) and selection (criticism/refutation).

But hard-to-varyness (the property of that makes explanations good) is only ever determined relative to a given parochial problem. Deutsch admits this, and that "theories" can be non-propositional, so the question is: how are we reliably implementing this?

This is very helpful! Is it from a forthcoming Eggplant chapter? This bit from Kegan does seem very Popperian, but I guess CR would have to explain how the conjecture and criticism processes are getting micro-implemented in everyday practical action. pic.twitter.com/v4Xvu8NqoY

In Deutschian terms, Chapman is largely criticizing foundationalist/justificationist accounts of rationality. Doesn't generally help to read him as a critique of CR. I think if there's a critique of CR there, it's that it doesn't attend to how people actually reason in practice

Kicking off my @LetterWiki exchange with @Ideopunk on metarationality. Eager to try to get a better handle on these ideas! Thanks @peternlimberg for the nudge to give this a shot.

On the contrary, this particular one talks about "reversing the stack," beginning with empty mind and working one's way back up?
