Case said: I will review to two or three Wilber works I have. They are A Brief History of Everything and Kosmic Consciousness I also have some stuff he did on the Matrix. I will then happily provide specifics on where I see Wilber leading people astray. As I said my initial impressions were that he raises interesting points but abuses the data. Despite your claims to the contrary my impression was also that his logic was driven by his conclusions not toward them.
dmb says: Hmmm. You assert that he abuses the data to lead people astray even though you don't yet have any specific reasons? Perhaps you ought think about who else uses a logic driven by his conclusions, eh? I mean, you've expressed your disapproval many times but all I recall is a lot of attitude, not actual reasons. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate your willness to check it our for yourself. And I've learned to trust my hunches to some extent, especially when I smell bullshit. Just don't forget that a reading can be powerfully effected by the attitude of the reader. I imagine that a positivist like yourself is going to bristle at his shamelessly spiritual vocabulary but I also think that if you look at the psychological backing for what he's saying you'll easily see that he's not refering to anything supernatural or whatever. Heck, with the right attitude you might even enjoy it. _________________________________________________________________ Exercise your brain!
