WILBER WATCH BLOG: "Eros or Oops?"
http://wilberwatch.blogspot.com/


Zakkariya Ishaq sent me his humoristic attempt at both criticism and defense of Ken Wilber:

COWBOY KEN WILBER: THE BAD, THE UGLY AND THE GOOD - Zakariyya Ishaq 

"But if by the spirit of genuine love, respect, and the search for truth and intent to raise 
humanity, we take it upon ourselves to judge your work in an objective spirit, then we in turn 
Ken Wilber put ourselves at that same alter of judgment that we dare impose on you. 
But we accept this, because we are warriors too, maybe not at the forefront like you, but at 
the foundation of truth, always ready to defend our own truths, as you are ready to defend yours. 
If our criticism is genuine, and I believe it is, for the people here are as noble as you, 
then my friend, my companion in the search for truth, it is never to degrade you, or to dismiss 
you, or to marginalize you. 
Indeed none of those. For it is to exalt you; and to keep reminding you that we are in this together."

New responses to Scott Parker's "Winning the Integral Game?" were received this week:

THE WILBER EFFECT? - Anonymous
"It is very interesting that so many persons describe their early encounter with Wilberian 
Integralism as if it were an intoxicant--they use terms like 'giddy' 'drunk' 'fired up'. 
Scott Parker also mentions something else--the sense of superiority he felt. Years ago, 
I read something by a person who wrote that science fiction, at least that from certain 
authors, can have a mood altering effect. 
It's worth asking whether Wilber's material, or at least some of his more famous books 
have a mood altering effect."
