> children should be introduced to, and taught, multiple styles of thinking I agree with this as a descriptive fact about what a good education looks like, but I may disagree with the motivation. Thinking is for predicting the world, understanding which parts you can control, and then using that control to make progress towards goals. Multiple styles isn't an end on it's own as if they were different essential nutrients. Different models will give more or less predictive value in different cases, which is maybe what you were saying here: > understand the strengths and weaknesses of those styles for different tasks and situations. The goal is still to produce the single best model for predicting the world. The best will depend on cost to evaluate as well as accuracy. That will be a hybrid of these different ways of thinking, but it's still one coherent model, not separate ones that we respect for no reason.
