Discernment Discipline II: Metacognition
There is a difference between doing the thinking and supervising the thinking.

This companion essay explains the intellectual spine behind Discernment Discipline II – Metacognition. It is not a full literature review, nor is it meant to be. Its purpose is to show that metacognition is not a fashionable slogan or a soft exhortation toward “being reflective.” It is a serious discipline with deep roots in psychology, philosophy, judgment and decision science, and the study of group behavior.
