@billepperly @RobbSmith This is not one we've tested yet in terms of hierarchical complexity. Like EDT, it's difficult because of the incommensurability of instruments (interview vs. sentence completion). Very open to the experiment, though.

1/6 What happens when you put Integral’s altitude map to the test? 🧵

At @IAMetatheory, @BrendanGrahamD1 is using Dawson's Lectical Scale to ask: do the developmental models that Wilber stacked together really align when measured empirically?

[Brendan Graham Dempsey @BrendanGrahamD1]

Curious to get not only an overview of the entire history of developmental psychology but also leading-edge research on developmental psychological models relative to questions of meaning, value, and ultimate concern? Me neither.

[Robb Smith @RobbSmith]

Twitter may be a lost cause at this point. Between what my colleague Bruce Alderman wrote about the “algorithmic undertow” creating demirealities & the selective filtering of posts so no tribe can build real long-term cultural capital means there’s almost all downside and no upside.

It may be time to create or host a space for the Integrative Worldview to convene without these radical malformations, and where it can just reflect and reproduce the flourishing that captures how integralists live.

1/ 🚨 Launching today: the Worldview Studies Initiative.

For the first time, large-scale data will map global worldview development — revealing patterns across societies, connecting integrative communities, and shaping strategies for the metacrisis.

If you haven't caught it yet, I'm putting out a fully visualized, documentary-style video version of my book on how the universe is complexifying through intelligent evolution. Here's the playlist of 7/10 videos (last 3 still to come)
