Interesting post - and I like the distinction between meta-hard and meta-easy tasks.

I just ended up here after a link in an article that was just posted in a Dutch newspaper (paywalled): https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/05/09/intellectuele-luiheid-a4892808

Very interesting. It explains why so many so called therapists or coaches claim to help people very well allthough they mostly help themselves in the first place and earn a lot of money... It is a blind spot and that’s why there should be more control or regulations about this phenomena I believe. Something like BIG registrations.
