(metameta note, I think going meta often comes off as snarky even though not intended, which might contribute to Why Our Kind Can’t Get Along)
People’s metabeliefs are downstream of which knowledge representation they are using and what that representation tells them about
Which things are variant and invariant
Of the variant things how sensitive they are (huh, actually I guess you can just say the invariants have zero sensitivity, I haven’t had that thought before)
What sorts of things count as evidence that a parameter or metadata about a parameter should change
What sorts of representations are reasonable (where the base representation is hard to question) ie whether or not metaphorical reasoning is appropriate (hard to think about) and which metaphors capture causal structure better
Normativity and confidence have their own heuristics that cause them to be sticky on parts of the representation and help direct attention while traversing it
