Subject: "integrative complexity" ?
To: econowmix at googlegroups.com

Some links below lead me to think :

How politics may be controlled not by "what" is learned at school,
but what modes of thinking and operating are being imposed or incentivized
through various learning, living, interacting environments,
including monetary systems... ( " compartmentalized thinking " ? )

Hence how to change politics based on opening up experiences to integrative
complexity and or other modes of perception and decision making ?
Using specific games ?
Using overlapping narrative visualization tools ?
Certain approaches to de-schooling ? ...

*Integrative complexity* is a research
psychometric<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychometrics>
 that refers to the degree to which thinking and reasoning involve the
recognition and integration of multiple
perspectives<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_%28cognitive%29>
 and possibilities and their interrelated
contingencies<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contingency>
.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_authoritarianism

According to research by Altemeyer, right-wing authoritarians tend to
exhibit cognitive errors and symptoms of faulty reasoning. Specifically,
they are more likely to make incorrect inferences from evidence and to
hold contradictory
ideas <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublethink> that result from
compartmentalized thinking. They are also more likely to uncritically accept
insufficient evidence that supports their beliefs, and they are less likely
to acknowledge their own
limitations.[2]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_authoritarianism#cite_note-Altemeyer.2C_B._1996-1>
Nevertheless,
there is no connection between authoritarianism and either low or high
intelligence. Measured against thefive factor
model<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits> of
personality, authoritarians generally score lower on openness to
experience<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openness_to_experience> and
slightly higher on
conscientiousness<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscientiousness>
