“An integral approach is based on one basic idea: no human mind can be 100% wrong. Or, we might say, nobody is smart enough to be wrong all the time. And that means, when it comes to deciding which approaches, methodologies, epistemologies, or ways or knowing are "correct," the answer can only be, "All of them."” WayMindHumansMeanIdeasEnoughMightAnswersKnowingApproachSmartHuman MindEpistemologyMethodology Author:Ken Wilber

“Once, I ordered two thousand lady bugs from the local garden center and set them loose in the atrium. I sprinkled marigold seeds in the ficus planters and put gold fish in the lobby fountain.

“I also think one of the things that's really hurting us is political activism of any stripe. Michael Jordan had it exactly right, he was my idol - when he was asked about a political question at one point and he said I'm not going to answer it, and they said why not, and he said: Because Republicans buy gym shoes too, right? That doesn't exist anymore, that kind of smarts.” ThinkingKindSaidPoliticalHurtAnswersRepublicanSmartShoesActivismWhy NotGymIdolsThey SaidJordanStripesPolitical Activism Author:Edward Allen Bernero
