This is part 4 of a series where Christofer investigates the ideas of David Chapman with his friend Jake Orthwein. The material covered is mainly from Chapman's two books: 'Meaningness' (meaningness.com) and 'In the Cells of the Eggplant' (metarationality.com).

In the fourth episode they focus on Chapman's discussion of Robert Kegan's stages of adult development. They talk about Piaget's constructivist lineage, how one relates to meaning in the different stages, and give an overview of Chapman's 'Meaningness and Time'.

Jake Orthwein is a writer and filmmaker based in Santa Monica, CA. He studied film and cognitive science at the University of Southern California and currently works as Director of Media for the Psychology of Technology Institute, an academic non-profit focused on improving research on the human-technology relationship. He is also a long term meditator.
