I am interested in the philosophical status of metacognition, particularly within epistemology. Have philosophers developed significant accounts of metacognition that go beyond its treatment as a psychological phenomenon?
I am also interested in the possibility of a system that not only reflects on its own reasoning, but is capable of changing the conditions or structure within which it carries out further reasoning.

Sometimes after reading philosophy/math/theoretical stuff for a long time, I start encountering words that I’ve literally never seen before, but somehow my brain immediately goes:
“Oh yeah, I know what this means. It’s obviously something related to abstract structures…”
And then I actually stop and ask myself: “Okay, explain the word.”
And I fucking can’t.
One time I even caught myself doing this with a completely made-up word. I imagined the word “trubzis”, and my immediate reaction was basically:
“Yeah, trubzis… I can’t really explain it, but obviously it has something to do with structure and abstraction.”
I literally invented the word and still somehow felt like I understood it.
So I started calling this trubzisness as a joke.
Has anyone else experienced something similar after getting mentally tired from reading highly abstract material? Is there an actual term for this?

Hello, I’m looking for someone to collaborate with on topics related to philosophy and science. I’m interested in various areas of philosophy, especially epistemology, philosophy of mind, and the relationship between philosophy and science. I’m also interested in economics, neuroscience, and cognitive science, particularly how these fields can contribute to broader philosophical questions.
I have written several scientific articles and preprints, including a peer-reviewed article published in the Journal of Neurophilosophy. I am currently developing my ADM (Automaticus–Deliberativus–Meta) cognitive-economic model, exploring questions related to cognition, metareflection, epistemology, and the relationship between biological processes and higher-level reasoning. I am also studying mathematics, category theory, and modern approaches to logic and epistemology.
I would be very interested in discussing ideas, exchanging perspectives, and potentially collaborating on research projects. I am also open to exploring new topics and approaches, even if they are beyond my current interests or differ from my own views, as I believe that productive discussions often arise from exposure to different perspectives.
I would be happy to hear about your ideas and research interests. I am currently working independently on these topics
