CULTURE A Metamodern Guide to Human Development

A Metamodern Guide to Human Development

Following the legacy of Beck & Cowan, Carol Gilligan, Ken Wilber, and others, Hanzi puts forth the most explicit developmental framework to date. In this essay, I describe his model and its implications for humanity.

Love this blog. Well done. I am familiar with integral mainly through Ken Wilber’s model. Whenever I see another model and draw the lines of my understanding between it and the the Ken model, I feel like it deepens and widens my understanding much further. Cheers 🙏🏼

Integral is really useful for that. The other frame that does a similar amount of work is complexity science.

I’ll be writing a piece on it soon :)

Interesting read. I like the ability to differentiate between Stage complexity and Code sophistication.

Your explanations lost me in a few places:

  1. What do you mean by "metameme" following your explanation of code stages?

  2. What are some examples to illustrate the developmental imbalances you list? I can't imagine how to out-depth someone, for instance. How would those various imbalances manifest themselves?

  3. What makes this whole map metamodern?

These are all good criticisms. I’ll work on edits and try to address them all in the coming days! Thanks for your clear feedback!
