I'm not the biggest fan of Wilber himself (also not extremely familiar, tbh), but Spiral Dynamics has some value as a heuristic. This particular video seems directed to a certain audience within that context because, well, it's level 8/turquoise/whatever the name is content.
I am curious as to why you think he is an INFJ? The way in which Wilber does not want to outright reject any viewpoint seems to be indicative of dominant Extraverted Intuition.
I wouldn't limit the manner of expression to Ne or Ni, just its dominant position in the stack. But what that manner of expression is serving is actually an ideological position rooted in empathy. From there it's easier to discern whether the values move from the self to others (Fi) or vice versa (Fe). It's a very crude explanation, but Ne-Fi seeks value in others and Ni-Fe finds it in others, both all too frequently when it isn't there, hence borderline tendencies in the former and dependent tendencies in the latter.
Your assumption being based on.....?
The more people involved in a decision, the more difficult it is for the group to reach consensus. The purpose of that statement is to remind stakeholders of this because if they hold this belief, they maintain adaptability in the face of uncertainty.
"But what he seems to have missed is that worshipping consciousness development itself, Wilber’s so-called “second-tier” thinking, leads to the same disastrous repercussions Wallace warned of: vanity, power, guilt, obsession.
/capitalistic society he exists in.
Realizing it exists isn't, now is it? "Reality does not care whether or not "everybody is right / everything has value"."
Actually, the common way to misspell his name is Wilbur. N00bs.
That's not what I was getting at. Family level decisions are things like spending priorities and shopping lists. They aren't going to apply to the household down the street.
): Power is, specifically, the ability to do things even against the will of others. Contrast that with authority, which is willingly given. Specifically, there are two types of authority: Ascribed, which is denoted by title, and achieved, which is earned by merit. Those in power who reach decisions through consensus are using the authority of their constituents. Moreover, in such a scenario, power is much more directly tied to merit as the degree of division of labor correlates with the size of the goal.
