Integral Theory and The Cultural Dumpster Fire — Jeff Salzman, The Daily Evolver

Are you bored with the whole left vs right, culture war gridlock?

What if there was a way that this dumpster fire could make us stronger or more evolved?

And could you possibly find some common ground with your bigot uncle this holiday season?

In this encore episode, Jeff Salzman from The Daily Evolver podcast stops by to discuss integral theory. Ken Wilber’s integral theory has had a huge impact on my life, and today Jeff and I are going to explore how it can help us navigate our conflicted world.

In this interview:

  • Ken Wilber and Integral Theory
  • Up from Eden by Ken Wilber
  • A Marriage of Sense and Soul by Ken Wilber
  • Ayn Rand and growing up Christian to become a progressive
  • Spirituality vs religion

Plus:

  • What has us evolve?
  • A new way to see our culture war
  • Learning how to turn criticism into curiosity
  • “If people don’t agree with me then they must be defective or stupid or fooled.”
  • “What do you have to teach me?”
  • What can you learn from your racist relative at the next family get-together?
