The consumption threshold (Antifragile to a threshold) as described in Grow or Die is a generalized description of the concepts brought up by Dave Gray in his video, Liminal thinking - The pyramid of belief.

The relevant parts of Liminal Thinking is that a person will create a worldview bubble to protect themselves from ways of living that are too foreign from their own views.

This is a protection mechanism (Antibodies help fight off body invaders), and isn't inherently bad. But in an interconnected world, there are a lot of competing worldviews (Biodiversity Stops Garden Monopolies). Liminal Thinking is about breaking down those barriers so we can live peacefully in a world of major differences of opinions.

From a Grow or Die perspective, those radically different ideas are just too big to consume all at once. It would be better to break those ideas down into smaller and smaller chunks to consume/assimilate them one at a time until the entire elephant is understood.
