In the most recent issue of the EnlightenNext weekly email I received was a link to a Stuart Davis video. Now, if you aren’t familiar with him, let’s just say as the “Punk Monk” he’s a visionary musician, comedian and one of the founders of the Integral Institute (by the way, I highly recommend checking out Integral Naked for mind-expanding art, music, video, and more!).

Anyhow, in his video Davis plays himself as a schizophrenic debating the pros and cons of a technological society versus an eco-spiritual society. He talks about these serious issues in a witty and amusing way. I loved the ending! *grin*

Take a look and think about what side of this “fence” you’re on (especially considering our recent technological trends). Is technology ALL bad? Should there be limits on it? Does humanity have the right to despoil our planet? Will humanity face extinction?  Is the evolution of our consciousness more important than the latest version of the iPod? What daily impact do you have on this world? How can we make it better?

Good stuff to ponder…when you’re up on a mountain or when you aren’t surfing on the ‘Net.
