Thanks for a great post rejecting Ken Wilber's half baked approach to
philosophy.
dmb replies:
Mark, your weird attack is a response to naked Pirsig quotes that do not
mention or refer to Ken Wilber in any way.
Mark 26-7-04: I'm not attacking Ken Wilber dmb. I simply observe his
philosophy is inconsistent. I find Pirsig to be most consistent.
Mark 26-7-04: Two points: 1. I have found KW to be poor reading for many
years before introducing coherence. This is a matter of public record. Therefore,
i am being consistent in my views. 2. I could not care a monkey's chuff what
you say about coherence, because it is plain you have been disingenuous.
Mark 26-7-04: Aldous Huxley is one of a vast number of thinkers who KW has
used. Even KW's term, 'holons' was coined by someone other than KW.
Mark 26-7-04: I have no problem with perennial philosophy. I do however feel
that KW does it an enormous injustice; he's making allot of money out of it.
Mark 26-7-04: May i use a rather unpleasant analogy dmb? KW's books are like
a dog turd filled with diamond dust the dog had licked up off the floor.
Mark 26-7-04: Ken Wilber has set himself up as a social icon. KW is almost a
brand name in transpersonal psychology. The KW brand has been used to sell
'spiral dynamics' and 'beyond the green meme' crap to business for example. This
is the body of the KW turd.
Thanks,
dmb
Mark 26-7-04: I shall leave you and your ego together.
All the best,
Mark
