Philosopher David Storey employs Integral Theory to dissect the post-Trump American Right, revealing a complex tapestry woven from conspiracy theories, tech libertarianism, and religious separatism. Storey’s inquiry probes whether amidst this fragmentation, a genuinely developmental conservatism might yet ariseβ€”a conservatism that embraces growth, coherence, and renewal rather than dissolution. πŸ”— πŸ—žοΈ Source: David Storey πŸ’“ #PoliticalPhilosophy #IntegralTheory #ConservatismReimagined

In our present image-saturated culture, where much of our sensory world is flattened onto the sterile plane of the screen, the challenge is urgent: to cultivate vision that penetrates beyond mere appearances. This meditation invites us to reclaim the full spectrum of human perception β€” to feel the moss on the rock, the ocean's salt, the intimacy in a lover's kiss β€” rather than reduce these to fragments of visual data. It is a call to a heightened awareness and a deeper engagement with the living world, honoring the complexity and richness of sensory experience in an era that diminishes it. πŸ”— πŸ—žοΈ Source: Maria Popova πŸ’“ #PhilosophyOfSenses #PerceptionAndReality #MindfulSeeing
