This was outstanding, and I love the notion of “transitional dialogues”—I think what Matthew is getting at is really important. “What discourse is fitting given developmental appropriateness?”—I very much like that inquiry. I agree difficulties arise when we then ask what this looks like institutionally, which gives me hope for the new social coordination mechanism that seems to be arising online. “Sin is the closing of a contradiction too much”—that was also fire, and I appreciate the allusion to the “plan vs prepare” distinction. Beautiful work!

Thanks, Dan! I had a blast talking with Joel and King Laugh about this, and I expect this question of development appropriateness, the esoteric, and learning will continue to play key roles in my research.
