A helpful review of *The Listening Society* in Integral Review by Elke Fein. I share the impression that Hanzi's 'effective value meme' combining stage, code, state, and depth is not (yet?) philosophically coherent, nor is it empirically grounded. integral-review.org/the-listening-

Today's Browser Interview is with the great on moral movements. Including this fantastic line: "By doing justice, I mean squeezing, as much as I can, the full complexity of a given topic like a lemon to season a dry meal"

Listen to "Creating Balance for the Physical Body as an Instrument of the Sadhana" by Sri Aurobindo Studies.
Contributions, showcased? What clumsy & ham-fisted language to describe Sri Aurobindo, his role in the world and how he should be presented. You cannot just club him in with Bose because of Bengali ethnicity. He stands apart & way above. This hardly counts as honor in my book.
Great. Sri Aurobindo was entered into a competition for best float without anyone knowing.Face with rolling eyesIt just makes me sad that the most divine beings ever to walk the earth are made to parade in front of such an unappreciative & ignorant audience as the kind that watches these spectacles.

It's common on Twitter that once you follow a handle it becomes insipid soon. That may be the reason why the recruitment process in offices fails to deliver. US therefore has the system of two terms but in India dead persons remain in power till the hospital makes an announcement
Supporters of present govt take pride in keeping the Congress, Communists, and Muslims out of power and that's not a mean achievement. But how far the Modi charisma gels with the Hindutva agenda is a moot point. So the situation is like, as they say in Odia, Chake gale bara hata.
While it's good that govt is trying to do something for Sri Aurobindo that is overdue. it's not difficult to gauge that I'm not happy about BJP, RSS, or Hindutva appropriating #SriAurobindo. Being born and brought up in a village, I'm well aware of their hollowness and hypocrisy.
