Hurricanes, tsunamis, drought, global warming, melting icecaps, eradication of biodiversity—to many of us, these harbingers of our planet’s seemingly imminent environmental meltdown are becoming more and more apparent each year, while the need for effective and enforceable sustainability policies on a global scale are becoming more and more urgent. And as is usually the case with human development, we find ourselves locked into the dialectic of good news/bad news, with our own fate as a species quite possibly hanging in the balance. First, the depressingly bad: the very notion of ecological sustainability requires at least a worldcentric set of values—yet according to research over 70% of the world exists at egocentric or ethnocentric waves of development, rendering "one-person-one-vote" types of democracy miserably incapable when it comes to saving the human race from itself. How, then, can we possibly develop and implement the policies that we so desperately need?

This has to have been mentioned here somewhere, but i can't seem to find anything. I apologize if I am being at all redundant--just point me in the right direction if someone has already covered this.

Everyone has been talking about one of McCain's latest "Special" ad, focusing specifically upon the odd inclusion of the word "yet" at the very end. But i kind of think this "yet" business is a bit of a red herring, to distract from the real message of this ad.

Seriously, do you guys see what i see? Cuz this jumped right off the screen for both me and my girlfriend.

Do you actually think this was intentional? Or can we chalk it up as some sort of kerning-related blunder?

I can understand how it can be seen that way, but I don't think it was intentional.

Here is a free series of offerings that we have recently produced, which i thought i would share with you all. I hope you enjoy!

As the US Presidential election rapidly approaches, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and confused about what might be the most important electoral choice of our lifetimes. But how can we rise above the noise, stay engaged, and bring some much-needed sanity to our lives and to our world?

We would like to suggest the following Integral Life offerings, all of which can help revitalize our sense of hope, clarity, and stability in these trying times.

This message was approved by Integral Life.

A founding pioneer in more Integral forms of law, politics, and federal regulation shares how he got his start applying the concepts of an infamous political activist to all areas of our modern economic society, offers a fascinating glimpse into 18th-century American political history, and suggests how a more Integral Politics can illuminate and enlighten even the realm of bureaucracy....

In this free video, Integral philosopher Ken Wilber discusses the many problems facing the emergence of a genuinely Integral "Third-Way" political party (most notably the issue of developmental elitism) and offers a remarkably simple-but-effective definition of the political Left and Right.
