In Integral Theory (primarily associated with Ken Wilber’s AQAL model—All Quadrants, All Levels, All Lines, All States, All Types), paradoxes are not errors to be eliminated, but structural features of a multi-dimensional reality....
Yeah all maps are "out of date" bc the map and the mapping is included in the territory being mapped (i would say this applies to abstractions as well, since we can't divorce the subject making/understanding/interacting with an abstraction from the abstraction)....
awesome, first submission! Thanks andrew.
A few quick notes re the history (excited to dive deeper into the content later):
- Fundamentals: I would ground “Fundamentals” in an older lineage, for example I learned about sentence stems from Nathaniel Branden before I knew the...
Hey Jordan - thanks for your question and sorry for the late reply. I have not. How about you?
What I do have tried is several of your online talks / interviews, and I just started giving "A Beautiful Apocalypse" a try after discovering it on Transformational Connecion's SAS...
TL;DR Bitcoin is an integral artifact that fuses aspects of several levels of development / value memes to create something novel and potentially world-changing....
thanks, yeah i agree this physical membrane thing is often lost in discussions of "collective intelligence" in the integrally oriented community, despite Ken Wilber directly addressing it a few times in various essays....
Weirdly, I was part of a an organization that had a flagship training weekend called Aletheia, that was based on integral principles. Afaict, unrelated to the guy you linked, other than the foundation in integral....
There is something that disturbs me in this post. The codification of the levels, the colors, which I think is from integral theory, sounds to me like magical thinking - another fantasy....

I’ve put all of my energy about this political season into creating the most helpful thing I can imagine....
I wonder about measurements in all four quadrants (integral theory style). I don’t really know what I mean, but I’ll try to point in that direction:
UL (I): Self-report, where you also report relative to the scale?...
What do you guys think about the opinion I’ve been hearing that its a DEI issue—that the secret service compromised on it’s orange excellence to try to add more green diversity (rather than teal transcend and include, to put the argument in integral terms)....
In this case I’m referencing truth that arises by quantity of overlapping consensus. From what I recall, one of the ways Ken Wilber sussed out the AQUAL map was taking every wisdom, philosophy, religion, theory, etc that he could find, and the more of those that a concept was...
I appreciate this!
I agree, and I get a little frustrated by one of the ways this shows up: sometimes some integralists say "1st tier" views all claim that theirs is right, but that "stops at second tier when the integral view can see all the views" —it feels like a weird...
I believe fo any given phenomenon (like attraction), there’s a co-arising of psychological, biological/behavioral, cultural, and systemic factors at play.
This is the essence of the "quadrants" aspect of the integral model....
As an integral enthusiast, I think this is such a broad overview of integral theory that’s its actually not that helpful; furthermore GPT managed to downsample to green by emphasizing diversity and inclusivity, rather than "inclusion" as part of transcend and include, or "no one...
