I just discovered an audio dialogue between Ken and Sean Hargens from a weekly I-I theory call regarding Meyerhoff’s 6 main criticisms buried on Ken’s site you may not be aware of. I haven’t listened to the whole thing, but it might clarify some of Ken’s positions. Link:

Here’s a selection of Ken Wilber’s vocabulary on his critics, by Geoffrey Falk at http://www.geoffreyfalk.com/blog/June2006.asp#9

“sorry-ass, first-tier, lame-brain case of arrested development, a two-bit, no-fit, nobody-quoting, self-promoting, gas-floating, over-bloating, no deposit, lame composite, really lost it, never had it, wanna bees, felled at the knees, first-tier fleas, flick ‘em off his back and never look back:�

I am not going to keep responding to the lunatics, nuts, fakes, and frauds.

[P]erhaps I should mention that I am at the center of the vanguard of the greatest social transformation in the history of humankind … using [my] Zen sword of prajna to cut off the heads of critics so staggeringly little that [I have] to slow down about 10-fold just to see them.

you don’t like us, you hate us, you hate I-I, you hate wilber, you hate this and you hate that—we heard you loud and clear. And we saw you. And now we know each other, don’t we?

… f..ck the crazy critic.

[D]oes telling a group of mental masturbators that they’re off the mark actually legitimize them in a way? If their intent is simply (!) to fantasize, they are unlikely to have the decency to be embarrassed at being caught once again with their pants down around their knees.

lunatic and cacophonous … so deranged as to be laughable … suck my d.ck … level of scholarship is so mediocre … worthless … you morons … lame criticism … painfully sluggish critics, dragging their bloated bellies across the ground at a snail’s pace of gray dreariness, can frankly just eat my dust and bite my ass … nonsensical … neither true nor false but empty … criticism so deranged you just stare at it wide-eyed and dumbfounded … criticism so absolutely loopy you just stare in disbelief for minutes, pie-eyed, slack-jawed, say whaaaaaat? … numb-nut young Turks and no-nut old Turks, many of whom have studied [my] work for up to 3 full hours….

Where you from, son? What the f..ck you been thinking? You hitting that weed again man, doing them drugs overtime?�
