Philosophy (formerly Spiral Wizards)

nthmost

Spiral Wizards roam over vast mindscapes seeing patterns and connections others typically filter out.

Theories and frameworks (lenses) we include are not limited to:

- The Emergent Cyclical Levels of Existence Theory (aka Spiral Dynamics)

- Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Development

- Jungian analysis (archetypes, dreams, personality psychology…)

- The Big 5, aka the OCEAN personality assessment

- Robert Kegan’s model of adult cognitive, affective, and social development

A bridge to meta-rationality vs. civilizational collapse | Meta-rationality

A bridge from systematic rationality to fluid meta-rational understanding may be necessary to prevent civilizational collapse.
