Get the Meta mug.The umbrella term for any higher-order cognitive process that manages your thinking. It includes meta-cognition, meta-reason, and meta-strategy. It's the executive function of your mind, deciding how to approach a problem, which mental model to use, and when to switch tactics. In a world of information overload, meta-thinking is the skill of being a good boss to your own brain.
Example: "Faced with a complex project, I didn't just dive in. I used meta-thinking: 'This is a systems problem, not a linear one. I'll map the components first, use a second-brain app to track ideas, and schedule time for divergent thinking.' It's thinking about the thinking, before the thinking even starts." Meta-Thinking

Get the Meta-Thinking mug.The practice of knowing when to not apply pure, cold rationality because the situation calls for something else—empathy, intuition, trust, or commitment. It's the understanding that unbounded rationality can be self-defeating (e.g., rationally, you should never trust anyone, but that makes cooperation impossible). Meta-rationality is about choosing the appropriate epistemic framework, which sometimes means turning off the hyper-logical analyzer to actually live your life.
Example: "Rationally, she knew the odds of her marriage lasting were statistically bleak. Meta-rationally, she chose to commit anyway, understanding that the irrational leap of faith was necessary to create the trust and bond the statistics could never measure. She called it 'statistically informed love.'" Meta-Rationality
