I don’t like the Kegan framework, as I think it’s missing an important factor about what level of map is important to correct decision-making. And it tends to ignore actual value divergence between individuals.
Keep in mind that it takes both “mental maturity” AND trust in your correspondents’ maturity to focus on communication and truth rather than personal and tribal signaling. As trust erodes, training and encouragement of individual maturity is reduced in value, which further erodes trust. It’s not clear that either one (education reduction or trust erosion) caused the other.
