| Boomeritis: Post modern Culture & a View of the Future |

Boomeritis: a video montage of this post-modernism
"disease", narrated by What Is Enlightenment?
magazine's Tom Huston, from a retreat with Andrew
Cohen
Boomeritis, a term coined by philosopher Ken
Wilber, describes a curious condition afflicting
the baby boom generation. In short, "high
cognitive pluralism mixed with low emotional
narcissism." AKA: a smart, progressive person with
a big ego. :-) It's a disease that began infecting
human beings during the sixties revolution, when
millions of rebellious American and European
teens, took full advantage of the rights and
freedoms afforded them by Western society and
explored the entire spectrum of their egoic
autonomy. Busting through every limitation,
subverting every authority, and ingesting every
psychedelic drug they could get their hands on,
they each tumbled out, squinting and dazed, into
the bright sunny dawn of the Age of Aquarius.
And although that new age, obscured by the
rose-colored glasses of hippiedom, wasn't all it
was cracked up to be, it did mark the birth of an
actual new stage of human consciousness and
culture. Historians, sociologists, and
philosophers call it postmodernity, and its
defining characteristic was the capacity to allow
a variety of differing viewpoints, cultures, and
worldviews to peacefully coexist in an egalitarian
embrace. Today this multicultural consciousness is
also frequently called "pluralism" for its ability
to honor and respect a multidimensional plurality
of perspectives, and is recognized as being the
singular fuel behind the revolutionary fire of the
sixties—having ignited the flames of feminism,
civil rights, animal rights, gay rights,
ecological activism, Vietnam war protests, sexual
liberation, and even rock 'n roll. The Beatles'
song "All Together Now," for example, perfectly
captures the fundamental sentiments and
sensitivities of the pluralistic stage of
development.
But every social revolution has its downsides, and
postmodernity had, and continues to have, plenty
of its own. Perhaps the most obvious and
unfortunate side-effect of postmodernity's noble
intentions to include and embrace all worldviews
and cultures—leaving no individual or social
group behind to be marginalized or oppressed—is
that by idealistically championing "equal rights,"
it ends up flattening all value judgments into an
ultra-egalitarian pancake. Wilber has dubbed this
postmodern landscape "flatland"—a world in which
no value distinctions, no judgments, and no
hierarchies are allowed, and in which it's
considered "politically incorrect" to judge
another person, group, or even worldview as being
fundamentally better or worse than any other.
