Dear Waldemar

Acually no.

The "I" primacy is a typically European modernist starting point and not at all universal.

Still the predominant starting point among within American and European middle class discourse.

But again, not at all universal and not even historically relevant outside of the Cartesian-Kantian paradigm that still dominates Western academia but which the Internet Revolution is about to explode.

You see, the rest of the world starts with a tribal we. Usually around the Dubar number of 157. Nothing is less than 157.

So much for "higher perspectives". It rather seems it takes an awful lot of effort for western middle class people to arrive where the rest of humanity starts from.

Wilber is a Cartesian. I would much prefer if we could leave that religious conviction behind or at least not pretend it is a universally valid norm.

And what does behaviporism prove to us if not that we behave as swarms and/or flocks 99,9% of the time? No "individuals" at all in action. But swarms and flocks that at most contain dividuals.

Tthe future belongs to social psychology (like Peterson and Vervaeke) and not individual psychology at all. We are all already social and nothing but social.

Big love

Alexander
