I actually just caught this email and watched the interview. Like you Andre, I was following their conversation in great depth and can't say I learned much, but still a great interview (Ken doesn't tend to look so lively since he broke his legs, but he looked good in this). 

I believe you and I have a difference of opinion when it comes to our ontologies, as I almost always concede to a nondual reality in discussions and my own logic.

I definitely agree Wilber loses many people with his sort of cockiness. In his defense he mainly lives in his ILP world wherein he is pretty much worshipped, I can't imagine how hard it would be to be extroverted and have that kind of following without coming off as he does. 

As a fan of Wilber, I'd like to think that is the truest explanation. But while I'm sure it contributes I think the man is really just that sure of himself, a certainty that's been wielded by far worse hands.


Regards,

Nicholas G. Lattanzio, Psy.D.

Hey friend,

I watched about the first 25 minutes. I am very familiar with what they were talking about but I still don’t like what comes off to me as a smug certainty about REALITY

What was your experience of the interview?
