TableOfKegansPersonalDevelopment

I am currently developing a table to illustrate the evolution of machine mind as the developmental regression of human mind. March 14, 2010.

My More Compact Schematic of Robert Kegan's System adapted mainly from In Over Our Heads on page 314 paperback edition.

In Illustration of the Despicable, Widespread Fiction of the Development of Objectivity in Civilized Minds., which is in fact a systematic inculcation of holistic and robotic Subjectivity.
Our procedural environment (the machine) forces a mechanical way of thinking on our minds, opportunistically sold with concepts like, "objectivity," "holism" and "integration."
I will adapt Kegan's positivist theory as a starting point to illustrate this fatal fiction of objectivity in terms of three Developmental Lines going through six Developmental Stages.
Abstract Level Abstract Environment Developmental Lines to Becoming Metahuman? (Übermensch) in Preparation for Transhumanism
Developmental Stage Underlying Structure 1. Cognitive 2. Social (interpersonal) 3. Self (intrapersonal)
6. See on the right the Developmental Lines of Post-Modernism's Subjectivity are wider and deeper than at any other stage! dialectical, trans-ideological or post-ideological, testing formulation, paradox, contradiction, oppositeness MetaCognitive inter-institutional, relationship between forms, interpenetration of self and other MetaSocial? self-transformation, interpenetration of selves, inter-individuation MetaSelf?
5. Post-Modernism's Objectivity

Modernism's Subjectivity

Trans-System abstract systems, ideology, formulation, authorization, relations between abstractions PostmodernistModernistCognitive? institution, relationship regulating forms, multiple role consciousness PostmodernistModernistSocial? self-authorship, self-regulation, self-formation, identity, autonomy, individuation PostmodernistModernistSelf?
4. Modernism's Objectivity

Traditionalism's Subjectivity

System or Complex Structure ideality, inference, generalization, hypothesis, proposition, ideals, values ModernistTraditionalistCognitive? mutuality/interpersonalism, role consciousness, mutual reciprocity ModernistTraditionalistSocial? inner states, subjectivity, self-consciousness ModernistTraditionalistSelf?
3. Traditionalism's Objectivity

Adolescent Subjectivity

Cross-Categorical Structure concrete, actuality, data, cause and effect TraditionalistAdolescentCognitive? point-of-view, role-concept, simple reciprocity (tit-for-tat) TraditionalistAdolescentSocial? enduring dispositions, needs, preferences, self-concept TraditionalistAdolescentSelf?
2. Adolescent Objectivity

Child Subjectivity

Infant Subjectivity

Simply Being

movement ChildInfantCognitive? none Sensation
0. Infant Babies are imaginatively completely unconscious: that is why we cannot remember anything whatsoever from before the age of about three. As shown in the line above, babies do consciously experience movement and sensation, but they cannot think about it.

This page will link to my similar future exposé of:

  • the equally despicable fiction about the possibility of open-mindedness in our enslavement to a fictional "dialectic" process.
  • the despicable enlightenment fiction of New Age gurus like 'Ken Wilber' (nota bene) and Eckhart Tolle (The Power of Now): Buddhism and Western Materialism share this fundamental fallacy of objectivity with it validating lie about humans connected to one or the other cosmic spirituality.
  • the fiction that humans are mostly conscious: a pivotal point in the further development of this page also

... because past infancy we do acquire operational consciousness, which is exactly why we are so open to being totally brainwashed. But it always remains a most rudimentary consciousness, and the brainwashing includes a most distorted story about our nature, including the nature of our consciousness. The story grossly exaggerates the quality and quantity of our consciousness.

  • the fiction that humans have free will
