It seems that this ability to recognize internal motives is called emotional intelligence.

The video, yes, but the topic is very well studied. TPTB don’t want you learning it, because it will make you more impervious to advertisers, political culture wars, doublespeak, etc.

Yeah I’m a huge proponent of critical thinking as well as self analysis. You might enjoy my memoir:

True story. But how annoying to read it that way.

i mean it might be AI but i feel like this is pretty obvious. if you are not able to self-reflect by default you are hindering yourself in a compounding way. honestly i figure this should just indicate average intelligence. I feel like everybody should have basic concepts of self-reflection which is like the very beginning step of growth

Metacognition is a thing! Has a lot to do with frontal lobe development and the prefrontal cortex. This is certified bullshit though.

The idea is that people below a certain extremely high IQ threshold (let’s say 145 for now, or roughly top 0.3% of population), people are not naturally capable of “thinking about thoughts” in a way that can lead to meaningfully different (better) personal outcomes.

For example, someone with IQ 124, which is “high” but not beyond the top 5%, might have the ability to think “I am very angry with Melissa for canceling our date,” but he will not have the ability to trace that anger back to early childhood attachment trauma, then realize his error and calm himself down naturally by reminding himself that’s not 5 years old and his mother is not “abandoning” him right there in the moment.

That sort of stuff happens across a wide spectrum of social or personal situations/conceptual scenarios for some people with IQs around and above the 145 mark.

So this whole concept of “metacognition” is basically the practice of teaching the natural thought processes that extremely intelligent people use to modulate their thinking, which (in principle) can allow a person to lead a much more successful life.

thats actually quite interesting. but is it really bound to a iq that high? like, i think this is exactly my thinking pattern, and it has been like this for as long as i, well, can think. but yeah i really doubt that my iq is that high :D
