David French does something interesting on the metalevel. I'm not sure I fully understand it but it's like a reverse Ross Douthat.
He attacks Helen Andrew's argument, then concedes a bunch of conservative talking points. After all, he's a conservative! But then he returns to crush her argument.

Apophenia, seeing far-fetched connections. Pareidolia, seeing faces in things. Pynchon mentions them in SHADOW TICKET. At a metalevel, I'm having apophenia with his work. Like he's specifically writing about recondite thing I've thought about. "Message to you, Rudy." psyche.co/ideas/when-t...

My life would be easier if I was only one of these kinds of procrastinators.
Cleaner, List Maker, Sidetracker, Internet Researcher, Snacker, Perpetuator.... and there must be a special metalevel People Who Pick Types From Lists of Procrastinator Types Instead Of Working 🤣

Peter Brooks has argued that the increasing metalevel commentary on narrative – the savvy CNN viewer’s grasp that each politician or fixer is just trying to craft the narrative – has debased it, encouraging the laziest possible readings of it rather than critical engagement with text. 15/

Not everyone who has multiple counterarguments is moving goal posts. But nice to go on the metalevel if you can't argue with the points being made.

Oukej. V hnutí ANO jsou fakt a vymysleli novej metalevel svých úvodních projevů k programu schůze Poslanecké sněmovny. Juchelka tam teď čte kus projevu Schillerové, který ve Sněmovně přednesla asi před měsícem.

My current view is that to escape blindspots and dogmas, you must go to a metalevel above, and discuss the aspect in metalanguage.
It's what I often fail to see in EduCogSci. Much is just first-order discussion: this research - this classroom practice.

then up another metalevel to tap into frameworks that structure what happened in the past and projections into the future ….I said I know nothing about what brings people together. I know nothing about what it is holds people together. Blind as a dung beetle.

crafting it as a single giant pile of comma-linked clauses makes the sense of being lost and increasingly desperate hit home. it is a metalevel of technique -- leveraging the syntactic rules of the language in service of your craft -- that is purely amazing to me.

… is not the same as adding \frac{Γ⊢♡}{Γ⊢♢}, so one needs to have an intuitive idea of what each rule “means”, and evidently it's not so clear. ❧ Basically, ‘⇒’ lives in the formal system level, \frac{…}{…} lives in the metalevel, but ‘⊢’ lives in a kind of limbo that is neither one nor the other. …

I'm excited for more gaming and roleplay tonight, but I am low key nervous. I know my world will be fine as I am in a different range. We just wont be in his. Which sucks cause I actually like metalevel, because w/out it I wouldn't have learned how to traverse PvP in #fromsoftware games without it.

I think it's a problem for me on a metalevel: I try to appease someone without caring for my own needs, boundaries or even thinking what I need to get out of the question for myself, instead of reflexively answering it in order to prove sth

Yes, and the real problem here is that for a very widespread consumer product the size of the boycotting group needed is so large it probably can't avoid being very loosely coupled and unable to react strategically to new developments. At best it can alter incentives one metalevel further out...

Not mocking me or my statement would be the grown up thing to do, and most of all very helpful! Together we are truth.
