Ken Wiber not getting green

[TrustTheProcess]

I love Wilber and there were still some nuggets of wisdom in this, don't get me wrong, but I think he may be watching too many sjw videos... a lot of cringe here

You underestimate the SJWs. They can be very annoying you know.

Wilber has had a chip on his shoulder about Green ever since his college days.

I think you develop a chip on your shoulder for green when you’re in colleges and universities. It really toxic. 

Do you know the specific reason why he has that?

It's not as toxic as Orange and Blue universities.

The toxicity of Green is much over-hyped by people with Orange and Blue agendas.

I think his work has been personally attacked a lot by Green and it was never really accepted within Green academia.

Wilber also clearly understands the limitations of Green.

But I think what Wilber misses is that even though university culture is Green, he does not appreciate that the rest of the country not even at Green yet. Wilber wants us to leap into Yellow without appreciating that first majority of the country has to solidly enter Green.

I think that given how smart and advanced Wilber is, he's over-estimating the rest of the populace who haven't even finish university and have no idea the lessons of post-modernism.

Wilber is criticizing Green from above, but he doesn't realize that 50% of the country is opposed to Green from below and that that 50% will have to be forced into Green before we start moving into Yellow.

What the last 4 years of Trumpism has shown us is that America is less developed than most of us thought, that a transition to solid Green is still decades away, and Yellow will not happen in our lifetimes.

The key takeaway is this: however bad Green universities are, the rest of the country is in far worse shape. We have a lot of work to do just to get the rest of the country to the same development level as liberal universities, and even once we accomplish that, we'll still have all of the Green problems to deal with.

We are not going to magically leap from Blue/Orange to Yellow.

Makes sense, when green publicly calls you names it’s normal to develop trauma. It only hurts green when they do that.

I use to be like that for similar reasons, but then I got a broader perspective and realized what I’m criticizing is actually better than a lot of stuff outside the progressive bubble?‍♂️.

Sparked the memory of our Russian stage blue universities here. Oh man, such a vomit kindgom. When I wanted to go to college and was researching different universities and actually going and visiting them I couldn't believe people give their authority to these shitshows
