#kenwilbur — Public Fediverse posts

This reminds me of the "flatland" concept Ken Wilbur talked about, where the qualitative study of "interiors" is collapsed into an all-consuming quantitative study of "exteriors". For example the various attempts to replace psychology, as a study of the subjective human experience of being conscious agents, with empirical studies of behaviour,brain anatomy, or the measurable aspects of cognition (eg mental rotation).

"[Zuckerberg's] notion that connecting the whole world on one network was so obviously a good idea that it justified whatever means were necessary to get there."

An otherwise laudable desire for universal human unity, without respect for #DueProcess, or community rights to be autonomous from larger structures of power, is the essence of Empire. #KenWilbur pointed this out in 'A Brief History of Everything'. Democracy is network, not empire.
