Thanks, Gregg, for inviting me to join the TOK-Society listserv and for sharing several interviews featuring me. I'm digging more deeply into Gregg's elegant model, so I'll need to defer dialogue about how my allusion to infinity within the finite does or doesn't jibe with the TOK. But the statement is grounded in the work of my friend and colleague Steve McIntosh, an Integral philosopher and author of *Evolution's Purpose: An Integral Interpretation of the Scientific Story of Our Origins*, *The Presence of the Infinite: The Spiritual Experience of Beauty, Truth, and Goodness <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.stevemcintosh.com_books_the-2Dpresence-2Dof-2Dthe-2Dinfinite_&d=DwIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=upx6mbq9FjMEaavigzoIa0vr-AQTeuAKWeWJUfM4YU0&s=rYyFTrRrJyKL86WzLJnCKxKxlaofbSH0HgVCPjjIEjQ&e= >*, and, most recently, *Developmental Politics: How America Can Grow Into a Better Version of Itself.* I hyperlinked the second work because it most specifically undergirds my statement. Check there for more info. All the best, Greg On Fri, Aug 21, 2020 at 9:40 AM Nicholas Lattanzio <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Interesting, Gregg.
