Taking the Long View: Immortality and the Technological Singularity

Taking the Long View: Immortality and the Technological Singularity

Anti-aging and longevity research reports, in addition to predicting lifespans beyond 200 years within just a few decades, also report no theoretical reasons preventing extensions into the thousands of years a few decades after that. What if you lived for another few hundred or thousand years? Would you bear witness to the end of disease, the coming of an integral age, the creation trans-human cyborgs, the end of poverty, the enlightenment of the planet — or maybe even flying cars...?

The problem of climate change is so big, so complex, and so politicized, it is almost impossible to know what to think about it, let alone what to do.

The Integralist’s Guide to Understanding Art

The Integralist’s Guide to Understanding Art

How should we go about finding meaning in art? Should we ask the artist herself, or is everything we need to understand a piece of art already contained in the artwork itself? Does meaning exist only in the observer, thereby varying from viewer to viewer? Or is the meaning of art determined by the circumstances surrounding the artist? Listen as Ken Wilber describes each of these major schools of interpretation, how they originated, and how they all fit together into a more cohesive vision of art and aesthetics.

Synchronicity: A Post-Metaphysical Interpretation

Synchronicity: A Post-Metaphysical Interpretation

But in this gem from the "Integral Post-Metaphysics" chapter of the Integral Spirituality: A Deeper Cut series, our own Corey deVos engages Ken Wilber in a lively and provocative discussion of synchronicity — demystifying much of the supernatural claptrap that so often surrounds this word, while reframing synchronicity as an entirely natural part of the evolutionary fabric.
