In this episode, I point out a heartening trend among cultural commentators: an increasing recognition that people, particularly people fighting a culture war, not only think different things, they think differently. A key teaching of integral theory is that human consciousness and culture evolve through stages of development. Each stage has its own receptors, processors and algorithms, and each reveals a different âworldspaceâ which their subjects occupy. When conflicts arise among people of different worldspaces, there is limited common ground and deep divisions remain that are immune to influence. Philosopher Robert Fogelin refers to this divide as âdeep disagreementâ where …

In this episode, I look deeper into the Integral project of âworldview diversity,â where we seek to befriend, appreciate, and be influenced by people and cultures who inhabit different world-spaces (altitudes of development). Topics I hit on: Alexei Navalnyâs heroic, near-death fight for modern values in Russia. âOur people are not perfect, but our culture is superior to others.â Pew research on how Eastern and Western Europeans respond to that statement. How âmean modernityâ blinds us to the deep identity and fulfillment found in healthy traditionalism. Practicing to deepen multi-perspectivalism with individuals and cultures. Plus, I welcome Integral teacher and …

This week I explore an essay published in Israelâs newspaper Haaretz that The New York Times said âshook the Israeli left like an ideological bunker-busting bomb.â In it, Nissim Mizrachi, former head of the department of sociology and anthropology at Tel Aviv University, describes what he calls the blind spot of liberals, who, he says, âdo not see themselves as âclassifiableâ from the outside.â âI think the most blatant phenomenon in world politics today is the resounding defeat of the liberal vision,â Mizrachi says. âItâs a double breakdown: one involving the government, in the sense of the leftâs inability to …

On last weekâs edition of CNNâs Global Public Square, host Fareed Zakaria ardently condemned Donald Trumpâs attack on the election, drawing dark parallels to the rise of Hitler and Nazism after World War 1. His first guest, former National Security Advisor, General H. R. McMaster, chided Fareed for âmisusing historyâ, arguing that the US has modern institutions specifically built to withstand the will of an autocrat. There is an essential truth in both of these perspectives. Fareed is right that the pre-rational tiers of human consciousness can be dangerous and violent. They hunger for great myths, and thrill to the …

The day before this week’s US presidential election one of my favorite public intellectuals, Sam Harris, released a podcast where he announced a breakthrough in his understanding of what had heretofore been a mystery: the appeal of Donald Trump to his followers. His revelation: Trump offers what no priest can credibly offer: a total expiation of shame. His personal shamelessness is a kind of spiritual balm. Trump is fat Jesus. He’s grab-them-by-the-pussy Jesus. He’s I’ll-eat- cheeseburgers-if-I-want-to Jesus. Heâs punch-them-in-the-face Jesus. How painfully partial and depressing is Harrisâs denigration of the 30% of the population who love Trump, and the 47% …
