Emergence of Second Tier Thinking

I have been fascinated with the work of Dr. Don Beck Spiral Dynamics: A model for human development & cultural evolution - WIE.org for a long time.

He says, "It’s not that we need to form new organizations. It's simply that we have to awaken to new ways of thinking. I believe it makes no sense to spend a lot of time attacking the current realities. It is time to create the new models that have in them the complexity that makes the older systems obsolete. And to the extent that we can do that, and do that quickly, I think we can provide what will be necessary for a major breakthrough for the future."

What I am fascinated about is that in my lifetime alone, I have been able to experience or see unfold the different cultures and world views that he teaches. This is clearly dempontsrated in the New York Time Magazine article on Sunday Barack Obama, A Free-Market-Loving, Big-Spending, Fiscally Conservative Wealth Redistributionist - NYTimes.com Read this for yourself and see this new way of thinking that is emerging that Dr. Beck talks about as "Second Tier."

Be well.
