American philosopher Ken Wilber's integral theory postulates that society has evolved according the the following pattern and that the next stage needed is the teal stage or the integral stage.
Magenta - animist tribe/magical thinking Red - power/impulse/egocentric Amber - ethnocentric Orange - modern Green - postmodern Teal - integral / second tier
Teal - all the prior points of view have a meaning and a purpose and need to be integrated (reminds me of collective Jungian shadow integration)
How to know when the discourse has devolved back to tribalism - people stop looking for what's common between tribes and focusing on what's different between tribes (any criticism of a tribe instantly results in tribal retaliation rather than reflection)
If you take tribalism to its logical conclusion, it is war.
Decentralized collective intelligence - Our world is too complex for centralized authorities to analyze, we must rely on each other for the production of a collective truth.
Yet, we are making more and more consequential decisions with worse and worse sense making to inform those choices.
How do we fix our own sense making? Be careful about polluting the information ecology.
Don't spread lies.
