Whatever your goals in life, enhanced intelligence will help you achieve them.
The same applies to humanity in general. The spread of higher cognition will change everything.
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.
These psychotechnologies will enable you to scaffold an ability to ‘stand outside’ your thinking and ‘see’ it as ‘object’.
The capacity to ‘stand outside’ your thoughts and feelings is invaluable for escaping and remedying maladaptive thinking.
The psychotechnologies also include methods to scaffold metasystemic cognition – a capacity to build mental models of complex phenomena.
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.
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.
Fulfilling your evolutionary role has the potential to provide a life that is meaningful and purposeful in a much larger scheme of things.
