I realize a lot of people have difficulty understanding what I
mean by the concept Cultural Scaffolding.
Cultural Scaffolding are those varied elements that are both
explicit and tacit in the education of young people, by their
parents, social institutions present and in society as
experience as they are constructed for and with the person's
filters and biases.
Now here is an example:
I gave these instructions to my MyPAL, who btw is stratum II
capable, however without modern cultural scaffolding...most
likely most of it is pre-conventional, at the core attractor
of Graves BO-CP-DQ (exiting, nodal, entering), or Spiral
Purple-Red-Blue, or if we look at social perspective from
Kohlberg, it is described like this, as a transition between
level 1 and Level 2: [Note this is a cool dominant, fyi]
Level 1 (Pre-Conventional)
1. Obedience and punishment orientation
(How can I avoid punishment?)
Level 2 (Conventional)
3. Interpersonal accord and conformity
(Social norms)
(The good boy/good girl attitude)
4. Authority and social-order maintaining orientation
(Law and order morality)
Most likely this person would be scored at stage 3 social
perspective (giving them the benefit of the doubt), and in
Kegan, a 3/2, midway through a transition, moving into
systematic, from formal in commons, et al.
Here are the instructions I gave:
go to www.flow.ph/manifesto
wherever there is a reference to flawlessliving, or flos,
replace that with
@F-L-O-W
just copy it to clipboard and then find the instances above
and paste over it
Here was the MyPAL response:
can u give me an example of reference and to change in @FLOW ?
Pls ?
Note that this person, knows how impatient i am with giving
task context.
However, how many of you, and how many people do you know that
are even Stratum I capable can do that task above, without an
example?
Here is my response:
wherever it says flawless living, replace it with @F-L-O-W
or flos
just highlight flawlessliving
or flawless living, or flos
and paste @F-L-O-W over it
I do see now, how
I was slightly out of order, I have a hell
of time sequencing btw, which is why I am so impatient when
people ask me for instruction, rather than context (which i
provide through patterns, they are seeking context according
to their personality dynamics, herb and glenn take note on RO
2.0-->differentiating context through personality dynamics,
filters and biases, as well as developmental trajectory, fyi)
I think she will be able to do it now.
Here's my point about cultural scaffolding.
In cultures I have studied where people do not have access to
social institutions, education, educated parents, daily modern
systems, and where they have access to only those pre-and
conventional forms of scaffolding, most of the "construction"
tool are missing for even simple tasks.
I have had to learn this the hard way, and thank GOD I am
learning finally, because I've spent a decade befuddled by the
dimensions of multifaceted capability while in India, Mexico,
Russia, Argentina, Malaysia, and now the Philippines, after
having lived in East Texas and not had even a clue in
the 80s...go figure...that the construction of what are
basically horizontal KSEs are fundamentally the duty of the
parent, social institutions and society at large and will NOT
occur in the construction of experience if they are not
available!
THIS IS WHY intelligence seems to keep growing across the
world.
The issue is that intelligence can be measured in many forms.
The MyPAL in question is about 22, at 19 they tested on the
LDMA at 10.4, this equates to Stratum II capability in the
Jaques System across to the JAY coefficient. This places the
person on Mode 5. They were highschool graduate, no college,
which means K-10 grad, ph and burma being only two countries
in world on K-10, Ph goes K-12 in 2014, it's shifting now,
with big cultural issues lurking, if you can't pay K-10, how
are you going to afford 2 more years...drop out rates at
k-9-10 levels will skyrocket, and they don't have a clue what
to do, they are too busy helping Europeans...and while that
indirectly is good, they should be investing in programs to
counter act the osciallation they are now creating!!
This MyPAL earned one year of college in our system last year,
they are working this year, will go back to college next if
things go well. They made 90+ average in their first year, all
the while taking care of newborn, and 4 siblings in school, a
mother and father who sometimes have income. This is clearly a
high potential that is being supported in this system, at
pretty heavy cost.
HOWEVER, because they lack the construction of experience in a
conventional, I have a ferrari that can only cut grass.
I see this consistently throughout the BRICS, and related, and
that is why when you offshore work, the system development
and design is so much more critical, not that they are at
lower levels of intelligence per se, but that the construction
of their experience is at levels that are pre-modern.
This person has amazing survival skills, and their
family/tribal skills are adept as well as indicative of this
construction of experience--> grew up no electricity, never
went on a highschool field trip, too poor to afford, i'm
surprised they made it through highschool, although what would
have been clear to teachers, as is clear to another MyPAL we
have, with same, or worse background, is that they had
potential, so they were "helped" along the way, being invited
in the door of nuture's lottery, because they did well in
nature's lottery.
