Climate Leadership Campaign Meshwork
Hey folks, the "2020 Climate Leadership Campaign" team has a huge pavilion in the middle of the Copenhagen exhibition hall this week for the COP15 climate conference. I thought I'd attach one of the documents the team is using in Copenhagen this week as we enroll leaders into the 2020 CLC global "meshwork" software platform for large-scale change and progress-tracking across key areas of transformation. This effort was launched in Brazil and holds the promise to generate significant transparency and integrating coherence to global climate change efforts, which is probably the linchpin of the whole global endeavor. The meshwork is a sort of "social transformation networking" in critical personal and social areas of renewal and represents a very innovative (and mostly integral) approach to organizing people, feedback, and systems at multiple levels of scale (personal, municipal, state, national, global). Our deep thanks to Gaiasoft and the CLC team in Copenhagen for all of their hard work.
Best,
Robb Smith

CO2 does not cause global warming!!!!!
Posted December 9th, 2009 by saul marcus in response to Thanks for this.Copenhagen is about putting in a tyrannical neo-feudalistic system for everyone to pay a carbon tithe to a corporate dictatorship. The UN is an evil skeleton for a One World Government.
the climate gate scandle has proven that the IPCC data from the UN was made up.
This is a fraud. If you people were really so "integral" you would look at this for all aspects, and look at what truth there is from those who say this is a fraud. And then you'll find the truth. CO2 doesn't cause global warming, this whole thing is a creation of corporate elitist and pathologic green meme people who think humanity is a curse on this planet.
If you people were so integral, you would try to INCLUDE and transcend orange...meaning you would include the positive things from the orange meme (individual freedom...given to us by our creator, not from the EU or Obama!), and not be pro-feudalism, which is a Blue structure. See, you call yourself Yellow, but are really Blue. Pathological Blue. And you people were never Intergral, never second tier, just pathologic green, and what does green do when everyone doesn't conform to group unity...green turns into red and tries to force everyone along (that is if green is acting pathologically).
So here you are, promoting world unity via neo-feudalistic tryanny and calling it Integral, and then if someone cares about freedom they are looked down at as orange (in other words meme-ism). But what if that person at orange is correct. Hey, Yellow is individualist also, yellow looks at the world as a complex network, it's green that just jumps on board with anyone who claims to care about the earth without a recourse to science.
CO2 global warming is the greatest fraud in history. CO2 is part of the life cycle, it is a life giving gas!
And I will fight this tyranny until I am dead!!!!!

Integral theory doesn't cause people to shift value systems
Posted December 9th, 2009 by saul marcus in response to ThanksI believe Ken Wilber said we don't know what causes people to shift value systems.
A few months ago I had the experience of attending an integral discussion group with about 15 people all praising Obama. anything he did they would praise...the fact that his whole administration is made up of elitist bankers and people from the Bush/Clinton regimes was explained as part of Obama's integral wisdeom, his slogan "change" was elevated to integral wisdom...and more, 2 hours of this.
I don't know what to make out of integral politics. People put on the TV, watch the media lies, and then they plug lies into a beutiful philosophical/sociological system and think the philosophy will produce truth from lies. If integral politics is ever going to amount to anything we need to use it in conjunction with facts.
Or to explain it using the 4 quadrants:
no upper left thought process can produce truthful bottom right conclusions based upon upper right facts that are not truthful. What I do see integral doing is taking propaganda geared toward certain segements of our population (bottom left), and even though that propoganda presents untruthful fact (upper right), integral still produces correct understanding about value systems and what makes a lot people tick (bottom left). But no amount of philosophy is going to get to the right side. In fact most of our beliefs about bottom right are really bottom left.
I also think that because our world is turning toward tyranny, the health adaptative response to government tyranny is orange. People in Integrel like to yell and scream that we need Integral to solve the world problems. If only we could magic everyone up to that level. Well, isn't a healthy integral approach to use access to lower values systems when needed, so if the situation calls for orange, then use orange!
Personally (and I know this is a radical idea in the Integral world) I don't think the world needs integral. I think the world needs healthy expressions of the lower value systems. Like with Ron Paul (and I'm no conservative, and I know his ideas are so limited, and reactionary), at least a huge amount of his sucess is talking about freedom, the constitution, and lots of really healthy orange. This is something that integral should support as a (although not the) answer, not look down on.

Hi Saul
Posted December 10th, 2009 by Brendan LaChance in response to Integral theory doesn't cause people to shift value...Interesting post and I will try to engage you a little bit here.
I agree generally that as a community we need to be more careful about what we accept as facts in an upper right sense.
"No upper left thought process can produce truthful bottom right conclusions based upon upper right facts that are not truthful."
I think this is an accurate statement. But in order to determine which upper right facts are truthful or not, the right-hand quadrants can not be severed from the left. We have to understand who is producing false upper-right facts and why. Is a false UR fact correlated to an incompetent developmental level taking up a right hand methodology? I.e. do you trust a three year old to look in a microscope and tell you what the microbes are doing? This would fall into what I think we can call natural or unintentional factual fallacy. This is an inevitable mistake that will occur in varying degrees at every level of development. In other words, I think we need to value the partial truth that one's values shape the "facts" one sees.
But I think there is a second type of factual fallacy that you might be suggesting in your post. This would be an intentional factual fallacy. This type of fallacy can still not be seperated from an individual's developmental level because that will give clues to what motivates them to commit the fallacy in the first place, but it is clearly different from an unintenitonal factual fallacy, obviously in that it is done dileberately.
Okay, with that little conceptual introduction, let's continue.
What I do see integral doing is taking propaganda geared toward certain segements of our population (bottom left), and even though that propoganda presents untruthful fact (upper right), integral still produces correct understanding about value systems and what makes a lot people tick (bottom left).
Just to quickly reiterate, there's another aspect that can be looked at using the theoretical model (well many more aspects but an important one I think you might want to add to this paragraph). We can attempt to understand the "who" that is making the propoganda you are discussing. Maybe it is elitist bankers. Okay, if it is them, let's look at where their motivation may be stemming from. Is it a "red" drive for power that makes them want to employ this tyranny? Is it a "blue" strive for greater order? Is it an "orange" strive for greater profit and opporunity for those willing to compete in a more open and equitable system? Is it a "green" strive to honor diverse cultures on one planet? Is it a "teal" strive to improve the efficiency and health of the entire system? And so on and so on and so on.
Now to answer those questions, we partake in one and/or two things. First, we can examine, for example, an elitist banker ourselves. Or we can listen to other perspectives that are extrapolating the banker's motives for us and examine their evidence. But we can't just examine their evidence, we must also examine the examiner. What are the values of the source of the facts we are provided with? What are the values of people like Alex Jones? What are the values of individual television hosts or the values of a television company? In short, how are the values (which are developmental) of our source of information coloring that very information?
And of course we can't forget to leave out ourselves. How are our own values coloring our perception of the evidence, of the bankers themselves, of the individuals or companies/websites providing us with evidence etc.? Am I completely critical and not open to a particular news source? Conversely, am I totally supportive and unquestioning of a news source? Who's perspectives do I niavely take to be true? Whose perspectives have I done a thorough investigation of their value structures so that I know what "shade" of fact I am getting?
This isn't offered as any type of challenge to what you have stated above. I'm just pointing out what a perspectival mess the whole thing is.
From my perspective, your last couple points about "orange" are right on. Let's help "it" find healthy expression in the world.
