Summary of Ken Wilber's Trump and a Post-Truth World

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The response to the election of Donald Trump has been extreme, visceral, and loudly vocal on all sides. The supporters of Trump have often been nasty and mean in their triumphal attitude, while the anti-Trump side has been, if possible, even more vocal. #2 Green, the stage of development that emerged from the 1960s onwards, was initially driven by positive and healthy forms. But as the decades passed, green began to veer into extreme, maladaptive, and even unhealthy forms. #3 The postmodernist perspective is that all knowledge is culturally bound, and there is no universally valid perspective. Thus, all knowledge is based on a mere interpretation announced from a privileged perspective. #4 Postmodernism, the philosophy, is dead. But in academia and the universities, it is a long, slow death, and most teachers still teach some version of postmodernism and its aperspectival madness even if they have many deep doubts themselves.
