"At some point we are going to
have brain-computer linkages. It may even get to the point where we can tell
from brain-scanning what a person's mindspace is. So we will be able to
certifiably say that ‘this person is orange, this person is green, this person
is turquoise.' It would come with a certain amount of authority and people
would trust it. We've had a century of looking at our educational system as
producing higher levels of consciousness, and I think it will take a century
for people to get used to that. But once that happens it's just second nature
that people will take into account the developmental altitude of another human
being. When you have these dimensions of reality that are so real and so
significant, it just can't keep happening that people overlook them."
"Virtually all world conflict
today is one ethnocentric group versus another ethnocentric group."
"Democracy in its present form,
one body/one vote, will be seen to future generations as primitive. Right now,
Mother Teresa and Jack the Ripper would get the same say. What would happen if
we stopped giving physical bodies a vote, but instead give a vote for each
conscious perspective a person could take?"
Ken Wilber in a
recent interview with Jeff Salzman
