This must be the FIRST time I've ever watched anyone trying to be as objective as they can be, trying to combine different perceptions and find the separate truths of each viewpoint while attempting to integrate them in a respectful way!

When I looked at clip I first thought it was a political compass before I read the title. Einstein as an authoritarian right winger. Freud as an authoritarian left winger. Nietzsche as a left libertarian. Marx as a right libertarian. It gave me a chuckle.

This past summer, I went through an existential crisis. A friend I hadn’t seen in YEARS reached out and actually gifted me Wilber’s Book - No Boundary. It’s been one of the best books I’ve read. I studied philosophy in Uni, and received my bachelors in 2020. Wilber’s book was some of the best philosophical material I had the pleasure of consuming. Highly recommend.

My favourite subject from each quadrant: Q1: Zen Buddhism, Panentheism Q2: Extended Reality, AI Q3: Hip-Hop Culture Q4: Digital Revolution

I've long been aware that science has its limitations; the mind is more than just a composition of flesh, fat, and bones, and emotions extend beyond mere muscle and tissue. I understood that various philosophies address these aspects individually, but it now becomes clear that a comprehensive understanding requires a range of diverse philosophies, rather than a single unified theory. This perspective helps me appreciate the complexity of the human experience.
@ReddUzi
This is actually a great direction and motivation to learn. I always enjoy learning new things in general but since there’s so much in formation i couldn’t necessarily put the information into one big aspect. The four quadrants should be taught in schools that way students can choose which direction of knowledge they can dive into, and it makes learning everything feel more fulfilling.
@Soltuts
Really great video. What facinates me is the dynamics between the individual and the collective, how our individual experiences are seemingly internal and exteral at the same time and all seem to cohere into some shared collective world or world view. Some people would even deny that an internal collective even exists.

You mention going to a foreign county looking at a culture but not being inside of it. Looking at it as an outsider. For sure I spent most of my life as a sort of outsider in my own culture. And still to this day I feel like a bit of an outsider. I've never embraced patriotism, never made sense to me, and I spent 15 years seeking answers to life's big questions rather than just going with the flow of whatever my surrounding culture told me to think and do. I was even accused of having autism once. It's not that I can't engage, I can. It's that I chose not too for a variety of personal reasons involving multiple tragedies that left me feeling cold. I experienced first hand the brutality of my species and the coldness of an unemotional universe. We live in a world of dichotomies. Seemingly the ones screaming loudest about positivity and inclusion are only too willing to be negative and exclude those who disagree with them. We talk of human rights and protecting the vulnerable while we demonize those on the margins of our society and slaughter the unborn by the thousands in this country each year. We speak of animal rights and are appauled at a man kicking a dog but scoff down burgers and ribs by the truck loads. I've worked in slaughterhouses. I've seen the terror and misery those animals endure in their last moments. But we would almost turn the men who do the killing into national herpes because they preserve our lives. What people really seek is personal certainty and personal success but most are deeply confused and understand the issues they bark on about only at the most basic level. We create boogey men out of our enemies and heroes out of those who confirm our prejudices. The reality is a lot more mundane and also a lot scarier. Likened to the Holocaust it was a mundane daily activity of the grossest violence towards our own species we've ever seen in history. The Incas probably came close though. They incorporated human sacrifice into their daily lives and I'm pretty sure mothers went on loving their children and father's provided a living while they watched their fellow beings slaughtered by the thousands to appease the gods. I can't help but feel that in spite of our best efforts we are still deeply irrational creatures with the few of us trying extremely hard to make sense out of it all, and coming to differing conclusions and fighting each other over it...

This is such a good summary of Ken Wilber's lifetime of works in a mere 13 minutes. I first read one of his books in 1985 and have maintained an interest ever since then.

I have been teaching the science behind Astrology for 30 years. The basic concept for 4000 years of this mindful awareness labeled Astrology, is that the space around us and the space within us gives us this sphere of influence that is displayed in the four quadrants of the one, the one surrounding itself in familiarity, the two, and the two surrounding itself with familiarity. This has been defined with what is called the cardinal cross that divides the sphere into these four quadrants. All that is, is defined by the characteristics we accept in a general way. These four seasons are the essence of our existence. In each quadrant there are three sections of expression, the birth of that sector, the focus/power and the release of power with adaptation. This is done in each quadrant, but through the four areas of the above. Twelve in to total, that gives us the well detailed characteristics that make up the human mind and experiences. We are at the edge of seeing these mental processes coming to a global acceptance. Thank you for your mindful talk. Dan
@dinocardamone-sg1ph
I don't know, literally, how you take in all this stuff... everything you talk about on this channel, there is a limit to thinking...but you seem to live independent of it. That 'is' a compliment.
@doyle6000
I was watching a Ken Wilbur interview and I came back here to understand him better before continuing!
@joebloggs339
I read 10 of Wilber's books 20 years ago. He is the most brilliant author I've ever encountered. He claimed to write while in a non-dual state. His prose was spectacular. Genius and yet he isn't a household name
@asthrea_0718
Politics, Philosophy, Psychology and Physics. Perfect! ❤
@guntervanderwalt7649
Wow. Just wow. I have always found my different pursuits of knowledge (biology and neuroscience to philosophy and mythology; more recently geopolitics and social justice) to be quite disparate from eachother. This, this one video made me understand which quadrants of knowledge I operate from, towards understanding the the whole. You have yourself an enthusiastic new subscriber!!
@darke216
Everything is connected. All the main studies of the human experience from Psychology, Philosophy, Anthropology, and Sociology all serve it's purposes on their own but if you attempt to draw knowledge from only one source as your main perspective, your worldview becomes rigid, stale, and limited. It's always best to learn from them all because when combined not only do you learn from one particular area you may have lacked understanding in and it teaches you wisdom that allows you to fully become whole as an individual
@indranifausch4102
Thank you for making Ken Wilber " bite size" to understand and digest. This is a fantastic video. Thank you and congratulations.
@kangakid5984
The model reminds me of David Howe's Taxonomy of Social Work philosophy. Yes I think you are correct in saying they are useful in helping us to take a step back to see where in the scheme of thought a speaker is positioned. Very well explained. Thank you again.
