In the face of these challenges…we can respond in one of two ways. One choice is to defend ourselves…[by using] innumerable psychological & cultural defenses:… inauthenticity (philosophy), unconsciousness & defensiveness (psychology), or ignorance, delusion, and sin (religion)

IntegralLife retweeted: Underlying cultural values are powerful forces shaping our world, current events can be seen through that prism, brilliantly mapped here.

Integral Life’s @robbsmith‘s analysis of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is now available. The invasion is not just a violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty, it is a coordinated attack, with China’s cooperation, on the “Green”, dominant late Information Age… integrallife.com/russia-is-cata…

2/ global network, especially the US dollar as global reserve currency. And while it likely counts on a devastating financial counterattack from the western alliance—after all, Putin is a Judo master and wants to use his opponent’s weight against them—it underestimates…

3/ the global values coherence of the “Green” structure of sociocultural evolution that will yet hamper a serious bipolar Russo-Sino block from gaining momentum. But it may come to represent a signal opportunity for the US to lead much-needed reform in the global order…
