Whatever your goals, enhanced cognition will help you achieve them.
- It will enable you to develop better strategies for getting what you want.
The same applies to humanity in general. The spread of higher cognition will change everything.
- It will generate a Second Enlightenment and a genuine science of complexity.A new kind of human will enter history and evolution.
This book provides science-based psychotechnologies that you can use to escalate your intelligence and cognition. It shows how to use them recursively to improve your cognition indefinitely.
- The psychotechnologies will enable you to enhance your thinking, then use your improved cognition to enhance your thinking further, then use it to produce further improvements, and so on, open-endedly.
These psychotechnologies will enable you to scaffold an ability to 'stand outside' your thinking and 'see' it as 'object'.
- This will enable you to 'see' and evaluate the thinking strategies that you now use.Whenever they fail, you can identify the reasons and remedy the deficiencies.The book shows you how to do the same for the hierarchy of meta-thinking strategies you use to develop your thinking strategies.
The capacity to 'stand outside' your thoughts and feelings is invaluable for escaping and remedying maladaptive thinking.
- The book shows how it can also be used to escape maladaptive emotional responses and conditioning.
The psychotechnologies also include methods to scaffold metasystemic cognition - a capacity to build mental models of complex phenomena.
- This higher cognition will give you the ability to comprehend and manipulate complex circumstances.The book identifies the new 'movements in thought' that you will need to incorporate into your thinking to develop metasystemic cognition.
The spread of metasystemic cognition is essential if human civilization is to survive the complex existential threats we face. These challenges cannot be solved by the cognition that underpins mainstream science and spread during the First Enlightenment.
- This cognition is largely limited to developing mechanistic, reductionist models. They are too simple to model complex phenomena and produce a genuine science of complexity.
The book demonstrates how higher cognition will enable humanity to comprehend for the first time the larger-scale evolutionary processes that have shaped humanity and will determine our future.
- Significantly, it will enable you to see that evolution has a trajectory that includes a critical role for humanity, individually as well as collectively.
Fulfilling your evolutionary role has the potential to provide a life that is meaningful and purposeful in a much larger scheme of things.
