The Integral Life/Ken Wilber Challenge

Earlier today (October 30, 2016) I, along with other Integral Life subscribers, received the email below, written by Jeff Salzman. Salzman is a liberal (really liberal-fascist) who serves as the political “front man” for Ken Wilber, who seemingly doesn’t have the balls to put his own face on the front of Integral Life’s political proselytization. Over the past few years, I’ve received numerous left-wing political messages from Salzman under the rubric of Wilber’s “integral” organization “Integral Life,” while Wilber, like a little girl, hides in his “integral” political closet.    

I not only think that Ken Wilber is a political wuss, a pansy-ass libtard who hides his left-wing fascism behind the façade of “integralism,” I also think that he is an overrated spiritual “pandit.” (Check out my reviews of his books in my archived August 2015 article “My Amazon reviews of Ken Wilber’s Books.”)

I would love to debate Wilber on the subjects of sociopolitics and spirituality (though I doubt he would risk taking on a virtual no-name like me). But if anyone who reads this can, by any chance, arrange a “confrontation of Dharmas" between us, please contact me at lrongardner@hotmail.com.

Here is Salzman’s Integral Life email, followed by my summary response:

Trump the Terrible: An Integral Look at the Boy Who would Be King

by Jeff Salzman

Oddsmakers have Trump with an 8% chance of becoming the next President of the United States.
This is terrifying. Not because Trump is a big alpha figure who would bust up the establishment. Not because he's vulgar. Not because lacks a coherent policy vision. Those things can actually be evolutionarily potent in their proper measure.
No, the real problem with Donald Trump is that in important lines of development he is arrested at the level of a five-year-old. I’d also note, with love, that he's not the nicest five-year-old. Donald demands constant attention. He's impulsive, chaotic and vengeful. He lies and won’t follow rules. He loves to fight and rebels against all constraints.  And he believes, accurately, that all of the above will get him what he wants.
Now...  imagine our young Donald with a nuclear weapon.
So, yes, an 8% chance is way too much. (It’s the same chance as me being born in the month of April and yet it happened! I rest my case.)
This podcast is my attempt to use an integral lens to peer into Donald Trump. Unfortunately, the picture it reveals may be even more dangerous than we thought. But only if he wins. If he loses I believe the Year of Trump will actually turn out to have been a tonic for our culture.
So Trump must be defeated and defeated decisively. If you’re a US citizen make sure you vote and see that two, three or more of your friends do too. The rest of you please say a prayer.
Thanks for listening and enjoy the podcast!

My Summary Response

Jeff Salzman is crazy. Hillary Clinton, as proven by her actions and words, is more hawkish than Donald Trump. As Secretary of State, she turned the Middle East into a violent War Zone. She, in effect, created ISIS (and I believe that it will eventually be proved that she profited from weapons being sold to them).  She voted for the Iraq War when George Bush was President, while Trump opposed it. Russia is preparing for WW 3 only because they fear Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump, on the other hand, does not have an acrimonious relationship with Putin. According to Huma Abedin (in the Wilileaks emails), Hillary "still is not right in the head." When, under penalty of perjury, she responded to Judicial Watch's questions about her emails, her every answer was, "I don't remember." What rational person would want a brain-damaged, proven war-monger with a vendetta against Russia to have unfettered access to the U.S. nuclear codes? Moreover, Hillary is a proven danger to U.S. national security, and will probably be indicted for her security breaches when the second (just reopened) FBI investigation is completed. Finally, Google "the Hillary body count," and realize that this evil woman not only is a mega-crook and a pathological liar, but also a serial murderess, who, based on her past history of killing people that get in her way, would not hesitate to nuke a country that pisses her off.
