Meta‑rational thinking is "the capacity to evaluate, adjust, and choose among different modes of reasoning. It operates at a higher level than ordinary rationality by examining how one is thinking, whether the chosen method fits the situation, and when to shift to a different cognitive approach. This makes meta‑rationality especially valuable in complex, ambiguous, or rapidly changing environments where no single model or method is sufficient."[1]
