It is very rare to find someone else who picks up on this--the history of America's development, and how it differs from Europe's, and the way this relates to ideology, has been totally misunderstood. I agree it is the main flaw in Wilbert's analysis. I think the argument that "healthy orange," rather than "healthy green," is the place to find stability, is very persuasive. Really enjoyed reading your work! Brilliant analysis.

My main exposure to integral to date has been from the Boulder crowd, and to be honest I was about to give up on it entirely, what with their constant uncritical admiration of Obama and placing him in 2nd tier, which I admittedly cannot wrap my mind around and was beginning to think I'm either missing something big, or, this model of viewing the world isn't my cup of tea. For me, this post, and the past several, gives a much needed counterbalance to the intellectually sloppy thinking coming from many in the integral community, and their disdain/sneering/smearing of orange ("oh those darn traditionalists" as they clutch their pearls while reading the NY Times).<br /><br />My only critique is I wish you would write more often!KZPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17492414337749952126noreply@blogger.com
