This is already a similar concept -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-order_thinking

I would be quite happy to see these kinds of concepts rolled into one.

Looking back, most times I heard "higher order thinking" at school, I feel like they meant "thinking at a higher level of abstraction" (as I would describe it now).

You could make an argument that the kind of "nth derivative thinking" identified here is similar though.

While I agree with you in theory, it's worth remembering the only reason The Castle has a happy ending is because someone who was already wealthy offered to help out people (for free) who weren't.

I'm interested to know what the farmers whose properties get taken by mining companies have to say about that.

Though genuinely unsure and curious as to whether that's a separate legal (or perhaps media reporting) issue.
