[show more] When totalizing theories like Wilber's spiral off into think-tanks, institutes and "universities," one begins to worry. Plus Wilber's "integral workshops" start at about a few hundred dollars a day. I'm skeptical of any philosophical approach that requires a $900 five-day hotel reservation, even if meals are included. http://integralinstitute.org/seminars/ [show less] Add a comment	Vote! 3 votes 60 pts

[show more] We both lived in Boulder, Colorado at the time. I think he's brilliant, if a bit over reliant on the quantification of qualitative states: The man has a graph for charting everything -- Love. Hope, Illusion. We talked about that and LOTS of other things (He and I both love psychedelic Miles Davis). He's an incredibly generous man (he donates money everywhere, including grants and scholarships) and one of the most open people I've ever met. [show less] Add a comment	Vote! 2 votes 40 pts
