David, Level-3 thinking is *very simple* to attain.  All that is 
required is to be subject to a situation [for a few weeks] where many of 
your previous mental coping techniques *generate obvious garbage*.  [For 
me, this was my current job.]  For optimal results, the blasted 
techniques should include all of your time management skills.
Under these circumstances, Level-3 thinking will be acquired as a *vital* 
survival skill.  I believe Richard Brodie picked up Level-3 this way.
