Interesting quasi-discussion regarding Ken Wilber's claims that Darwinism cannot sufficiently explain evolution at IntegralNaked, VomitingConfetti, [Wilber's response], GeofferyFalk.com and MatthewDallman.com.

First off, Geoffery Falk is an asshole who is not to be trusted on these matters whatsoever. His book, Stripping the Gurus proves on every page that he is out to gain fame for himself at the expense of those who are his superiors in every way. (He has samples online to prove it!) His words are pretty much irrelevant to any honest inquiry on any subject.

But that leaves open the important questions: Does Wilber understand Darwinism? Did he misrepresent it in Sex Ecology Spirituality? Does this misunderstanding essentially infect his philosophy?
