  So you are telling me you are full of hot air.

  Thanks for sharing your insights. Very interesting.
  From the podcast on Graves Model I had thought a bit about the correlation of cognitive functions to societal Graves Levels, but not as deeply as you seem to have thought it through.
  How about the correlation of intelligence types to Graves Levels? Does the society at a particular level/era celebrate people with a particular type of intelligence more than others? Eg, IQ in scientific eras, kinesthetic intelligence in hunter-gatherer eras, etc. Without a society labeling multiple intelligences, what they consider “intelligent” may be whatever type of intelligence best suits that era/level?
  Just intuitive thinking/rambling here. In true intuitive style we are going from intelligence and ethics to Graves Model and continental shifting and communications :) Gotta love it!
  BTW (in case you wanted to know) I knew what you meant by ‘nooks’ but you could say they are ‘teeth’ in a gear.

  Re Side Note: For a while now (before knowing typology) I’ve thought that different people have different things to offer and different types of people are better at certain things than I am. Now that I know more about typology and multiple intelligences it makes it so much more sense how there’s no one super-power type (including my own). But I can see how it might be easy to slide in to that viewpoint for anyone discovering their “Genius”.
  Hope I haven’t come across as self-righteous at all.

  How so?
  Did you not say INTJs are stupid (and educated)?

  hmm indeed, it seems somewhere in the 60s the transition from graves 4 to graves 5 happened. I find this intriguing because, one would think, as you said, after the boundaries the war forced the nation and people to push, its surprising it all snapped back instead continuing its forward trajectory. I was born in the 80s so I can’t speak from experience either ;)

  As for the climate comments, I meant it in the symbolic sense, although, there are plenty of theories on the environments role in the emergence of human civilization. I’m a huge fan of Jared Diamond (Guns, Germs and Steel)—he argues the reason societies in Europe and Asia are more advanced and countries like Papua New Guinea are tribal (still Graves 2) is due to geographical position ie access to arable land, indigenous animals and plants that can be domesticated for agriculture, resources like coal, climate, and the role those factors played in what countries got ahead on the world stage.

  I look at humans like little planets, since we are acted upon by the same physical forces and made by the same basic material as the planet itself. I was wondering if the patterns we see over time on Earth are analogous to the patterns we see over time in humans (and big changes in Earths history usually happened when communication between systems increased or decreased. Polarity is also a big theme in Earths history). To bring up Bill Gates again, he teamed with David Christian to start a Big History program which teaches history from the Big Bang until now, and combines this idea of human history and Earth history being intimately connected.
