What's missing from our models?

Continuing this post, this article highlights some of my concerns. My only complaint is later in the piece the solution is direct access to the absolute liminal. "Just the thing itself. Felt right now in this moment." I agree that we need to feel our deep connections, but to frame it as absolute reality is another matter. A few excerpts:

"Fierce love and understanding will be the basis of a new story that binds us across culture and political leaning. It will not be the knowledge of the meta-modern intellectual who masturbates over their own ideas in public. It will not come from linguistic one-upmanship, or the cleverness of knowing how patterns now might lead to patterns in the future. We don’t need more knowledge, we need Wisdom — a deep, embodied, living thing."

"Talking about emergence intellectually is like talking in mechanical detail about sex; it’s boring, convoluted, and turns (most) people off. We must live the emergent, and allow it to speak through us and to inspire new narratives. Unless this stays present in our awareness, we risk creating yet another simulacrum of wisdom instead of a real, embodied thread toward it."

"We need a philosophy we can smell, a pheromonal philosophy that draws us into the liminal and gives us the tools to navigate it. And it will not be the intellectuals who get us there. It will not be the autistic machinations of Silicon Valley, or the frothy mouthed proclamations of activists. It will be the artists, the shamans, those who go deeply within through embodied practices, the makers and doers and dancers. It will be those who are not talking about entering the liminal, but those who live there and know it like a second skin."
