RE: Bruce Alderman on The Sword In The Stone Challenge I AM - David Long 2023-01-24 | Dealing with the predictable academic pushback.
Happy Sword in the Stone Day! I AM - David Long 2023-01-21 | Last year I made a basic ground-up case for Emergentism from an Integral perspective demonstrating how a person who might want to debate me can make a reasonable ground-up case from the agreed-upon epistemic primary (I know I exist) to their ontological/cosmological view. This video is meant to remind people about this line in the sand, or sword in the stone, as a challenge to Idealists and panpsychicsts that they cannot actually rise to! Thus these thinkers and these positions cannot be considered "rational" or up to "Integral" meta-theoretical standards.Every Jan 20th let's remember and remind everyone that these ideas don't stand and they can't rise to the challenge to justify them reasonably!

I think this is one of my best and most important videos. What do you think?:In Part 1: Sacred Naturalism, I talk about a personal approach to Integration.The Integral Stage, Round One of a WHEEL OF PERSPECTIVES panel discussion featured Rev. Michael Dowd, Layman Pascal, Tim Winton, Chris Dierkes, Dave McLeod, Laura Pustarfi, and Kai Drachenberg.Here is a link to the original talk:youtu.be/_qbgduN5HzwIn Part 2: One Human Family, I argue that the future of religion lies beyond pluralism and conflationism and I draw on Joseph Campbell's work to begin to imagine a translineage tradition that can serve the whole spiral of development.

INTEGRAL 2.0 I AM - David Long 2020-08-08 | In this video I AM - David Long discusses the Key differences Between "the Integral Brand" and Integral 2.0:1. No Idealism/creationismNo “spirit” underlying everything, or inherent telos to the kosmos, No afterlife, perfection or transcendence. - We do not believe in mythic supernatural ideas about where we came from and where we are going. - We say YES to life, this world, this reality. We see suffering and impermanence as things that make life worth living, they help us to appreciate what we have and motivate us to make things better. Life is not an illusion or a dream. - Reality is real and we have a healthy relationship to it.2. EmergentismConsciousness is an emergent quality of matter, not the source of it (idealism/dualism is antiquated) this emergentist perspective cannot be reduced to empiricism or UR reductionism. (no tetra-arising all the way back - only in sentient beings) - chemistry is not love - that is anthropomorphic projection (acting like inanimate objects have human feelings) and pseudoscience (working backwards from what you would like to be true and trying to find ways to make the world fit into religious/mythic preconceptions about it).3. Pre/trans distinctions.The cup (poetry) and the sword (rationality). Understanding the relative nature of all language, we can speak poetically within our community using any and all symbol sets and we can qualify our poetry in terms of something real. - We can also use the power of these distinctions as translations down the spiral - to speak the language of other traditions or worldviews from within other traditions and move them towards goodness and truth. - skillful means.4. Epistemic skillfulness and humilitynot making claims and assertions we can’t back up with good reasons and evidence - responsible leadership. - Understanding the quadratic validation process.5. Embraces LifeBecoming, creating, and self-mastery, not just self-transcendence and states. Post-formal Integral religion. 4 S’s of spiritual practice. Reality is real and we have a healthy relationship to it. Our ultimate goals are not “personal spiritual enlightenment, freedom, and transcendence” but a better world in the here and now for us all.6. Movement/Lifestyle vs Products/EventsSkillful leadership organization integration and outreachAffordable and available events for all economic classes.Encouraging, connecting and expanding/refining, and participating in the integral movement/culture.7. Embracing Debates and DisagreementsWe care about the actually true/good - Creative friction and tension help us refine and grow.8. rEvolutionaryNonviolent approach to rEvolution, New transformational (governance, educational, religious, social, etc.) systems, not just translation. Collective-individualist Integral synthesis (move the hierarchy from the economic sphere to the public sphere - move the society more to the middle and focus on individual needs/growth as investment in the future - so individuals can bring their skills to the project of humanity - integral emergent transparent interactive governance system.9. Anti- RacismRacism is not tolerated. If people make explicit racist statements or implications they will be kicked out unless/until they denounce racism and apologize.10.
