Continuing from this post, and bringing in a discussion of the conveyor belt from the FB IPS discussion, I've agreed with Wilber's comments that an integral government and law that
would provide that upward attractor while allowing people to be where
they are. He distinguishes between the freedom to think and believe
whatever we want, but not to act on
such beliefs if that behavior is not from the highest societal level.
This seems to suggest that there needs to be some limits on individual
freedom, that perhaps there needs to be some developmental requirements
on how people can affect others. This of course calls into question the
idea of democracy, which assumes we all have the same rights, which
itself assumes we are all coming from the same level of response, an
enlightened, rational self interest. But we are not. So perhaps there is
a system better than democracy to achieve this purpose? See
Layman Pascal's suggestion for a massive internal profiling
civilization in this post, where to hold office you must be integrally
profiled and found worthy.
