Measuring Beliefs @Comprehensivist Wednesday

Our comprehensive practice invites us to gather knowledge from all the experiences and all the traditions of inquiry and action of all Humanity. In this way comprehensive explorers are continually considering a multitude of sometimes contradictory, sometimes paradoxical, and often unfamiliar beliefs. How ought we as comprehensive practitioners measure these beliefs?

We will discuss this short 9m video with Rebecca Newberger Goldstein on What is Belief?

This exploration will be guided by the essay I wrote Measuring Beliefs.

This month and last month involved interpreting and extending the thinking in Chapter 6 "Interpretation and Measurement" in "The Design Way" by Harold G. Nelson and Erik Stolterman.

Welcome to the series "Comprehensivist Wednesdays".

Our comprehensivity is an innate-in-children but largely absent-in-schooling proclivity to comprehend the world and each other broadly and deeply. Its guiding epistemic virtue is to strive toward "the adequately macro-comprehensive and micro-incisive" (to slightly repurpose Buckminster Fuller's words).

Here is a playlist of introductory topics on comprehensive thinking:
