If that system were to be changed so that the people take care of it, the rest will fall down. Being able to control the issuance of the money and forcing people to use it, is the major PROBLEM.

No easy solutions to this fine mess, for all the reasons you allude to, that’s for sure.

And for 8,000 years prior to that, various empires engaged in conquest. Before that, tribes vanquished other tribes, etc. Assuming that Holistic-Integral paradigms are "better", then they should confer some adaptive social benefit even in times of decline. Indeed, they may be the only hope that the decline may be reversible. If we are going into a period of global totalitarianism, or Plutocracy/Kleptocracy, the "revolution" needs a theme of a better future. Integralists are generally people that are from counterculture background. They already rejected, in some form or another, the dominant paradigms of the establishment and the failed liberal/progressive/postmodern "alternatives". The question is: can Integralists "deliver", at this point? If you look around in the comments for Jennifer Grove's statements, you will see links to IMPORTANT information on the FAILURE of the current Integral movement's leadership. There are the usual Zen-guru sex scandals. There are absurd failures because Wilber and his business partners have failed to "democratize" their organizational cultures. They have fallen into some predictable dysfunctional "corporate" patterns: lack of transparency, lack of accountability, etc. As a result, there is a movement within Integralism to be open to critics, for instance at the annual Integral Theory Conference. Besides criticisms of Wilber "guru" worship, and "orange meme" corporate pollution of the Integral movement (LOHAS), there are deeper philosophical questions about "bad science". The use (or abuse) of the term "evolutionary spirituality" in particular has been identified by Wilber critic Frank Visser as a very weak point in current Integral "marketing". What evolutionary theory tells us is that human beings are driven to be tribal and also driven to seek transcendence (via ritualized social bonding). These are horrible contradictions, and limited by DNA. I look forward to your feedback.

Ken Wilbur is certainly very bright and articulate, and it all sounds touchy-feely good, but my response is that the integral mind is coming along too late in the game. We've spent the future's inheritance, and far too many of the seven-plus billion people on this planet are too locked in unintegrated paradigms to make any kind of meaningful turn. I'll be glad to be wrong, but at this writing, I sure wouldn't want to be reborn into what I see coming around the bend. An interesting interview.

No other teachings have transformed my way of thinking and being like Ekhart's have. Time after time, I keep going back to his books. Without reading his books, I would probably be thinking that my mind is 'me'. Now I am aware of the invisible observer of my thoughts! Thanks, Sal.
