Technolectual - One who uses technology in the rational pursuit of truth.  

Colloquium - a type of academic lecture. Typically, a colloquium talk is a single lecture offered to a broader audience than the audience of a seminar.

Previously from the Milum Files…

Lynne has accumulated a breadth of blog entries to the point that she now has two pages — the Lynne Blog and the Lynne Blog Archive.  Be sure to check out her latest entry entitled, What's the blues got to do with it?

Vince has been concerned lately about the objectification of his fellow human beings.  He is particularly concerned about the inability of so-called Christians to manifest any of the forgiveness that was the hallmark of Christ's ministry.  So for those who wish to pray in Jesus' name, Vince offers a reminder of what it should mean to be a Christian in terms of forgiveness.

For less temporal thoughts, read what the perennial messenger has to say about the least of his brothers. For more from The Integral Thinker™ see his essay on the devolution of modern thinking, in Making Black Turn White, wherein he observes that the ultimate peril of dichotomous black-white thinking can (over time) yield an inversion of one's desired outcome.  Additional insight can be garnered from The Blues versus The Reds, which provides an opportunity to stimulate discussion of integral thinking with "The Matrix" generation.  This approach is explored in greater detail in Vince's groundbreaking article,  Integral Thinking in a Dynamic World.  (Updated July 12, 2006)  

  


From Milum Blog Guest(s)…


From the movie, The Matrix:

Trinity: I know why you’re here, Neo. I know what you’ve been doing. I know why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night you sit at your computer. You’re looking for him. I know, because I was once looking for the same thing. And when he found me, he told me I wasn’t really looking for him. I was looking for an answer. It’s the question that drives us, Neo. It’s the question that brought you here. You know the question just as I did.   

Neo: What is The Matrix?  

Trinity: The answer is out there, Neo. It’s looking for you. And it will find you, if you want it to.

If you are an integral thinker and would like to contribute to this blog, please contact us at blog@milum.net  Below is some dialogue regarding acceptable content:

Q:  I would be interested in contributing to the blog.  What is the direction of the blog going to be?

A:  Integral philosophy requires thinkers who are able to call upon diverse life-experiences and wisdom-bases in order to present synthesized — and, at times, syncretized — distillates of understanding for both the masses and fellow integral thinkers.

Q:  What is the length of articles desired?

A:  We have mechanisms in place to accommodate (1) short synopses of other works (preferably those which can be hyperlinked to non-subscription sources), (2) 1-2 page (e.g., in Word format) articles, and (3) monographs.

Q:  Is this current events driven or philosophical or spiritual?

A:  A strictly "spiritual" article, while often commendable, does not meet the requisite of "integral" thinking; conversely, some strictly "philosophical" work might.  And, yes, this is primarily CURRENT EVENTS driven.  (Think CURRENT EVENTS from an INTEGRAL PHILOSOPHY perspective.)

Q:  I tend towards a "black and white" perspective while many intellectuals believe one is only intelligent if one views the world in different shades of gray.

A:  If your black/white perspective yields TRUTH then perhaps it is what people NEED to hear.  On the other hand, one needs to be mindful of the ramifications of failing to perceive shades of gray.
