Dmitriev ironically suggested that the leaders of the EU and Britain try metacognition.

The leaders of the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom should master the process of metacognition — the ability to recognize, control and regulate their own cognitive processes (memory, attention, understanding). Kirill Dmitriev, Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for Investment and Economic cooperation with foreign countries and head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), made an ironic proposal on March 21.

"Perhaps the EU and UK bureaucrats should take up metacognition? Analyze and correct mistakes in your thinking? Belgium is starting to show the way," he wrote on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

The head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund left a comment in response to a post by Science girl, who noted that metacognition — that is, the ability to reflect on one's own thinking — is considered the highest form of intelligence.
