What is Boomeritis?

Diagnosis: The postmodern cultural condition whereby highly developed cognitive pluralism becomes infected with poorly developed emotional narcissism.
Symptoms include (but are not limited to): rampant deconstructive tendencies; fits of nihilism and romanticism; self-serving victimhood; aperspectival madness; idiot compassion and reckless egalitarianism; frequent outbreaks of hypocrisy and performative contradiction; earth-shaking delusions of grandeur.
Prognosis: Boomeritis is a parasite which feeds off of the fruits of postmodernity. Those inflicted often lose themselves in a solipsistic playground of self-indulgence where, under the banner of pluralism, they place themselves at the center of the universe, only to awaken one day in a barren wasteland of self-deception and spiritual impotence. This disease ultimately infects the entire Spiral, collapsing it into flatland inanity, widening and reinforcing the gaps between each successive stage of consciousness by viciously denying developmental stages altogether. Under the hypnotic gaze of Boomeritis, multiculturalism becomes rigid identity politics; pluralism becomes fascist political correctness; and ecological sensitivity becomes the Unabomber.
Treatment: Integral Life Practice, familiarization with the Always Already, high doses of humility and humor.

"Always partial, already whole"? This posting about 'Boomeritis' is both prejudicial and divisive.....the exact opposite of what it is your "Integral Life Practice" seems to stand for.
Boomeritis
The definition of Boomeritis can be viewed as "prejudicial and divisive" (dual); however the goal is to reach an altitude of mind that includes the dual nature of any definition. Then one embraces a wider more expansive experience of Unity in the potentiality of all minds at whatever level they understand.

Boomeritis
It's actually very humourous and clever that the author chose to
show us what Boomeritis looks like in this definition. Someone
actually operating at Teal would 'not only be able to see and honour
but also critically evaluate' someone of a lower altitude's
actions/thoughts and not betray their intolerance with sarcasm
that sounds a lot more like Amber's "our opinion is right/better,
no matter what" position.
In fact, that's one way to recognize it.

Lacan and Nietschze would be proud to see that their ideas have penetrated the ether of time. 'Boomeritis' seems to be a clever and humerous articulation of old yet relevant notions. Interesting.

Doesn't matter, I've yet to see anyone who indulges in these concepts live anywhere but in their minds.
