Anne Baring?

[Lion Kimbro]

Has anyone here ever heard of "Anne Baring" ..?

Check out:
"The Struggle for Primacy and the Roots of War"
http://www.annebaring.com/anbar14_comment.htm#primacy

I'm incredibly impressed by what I'm reading here;
It's all written from an Evolutionary Spirituality angle,
it totally recognizes the masculinity power system,
without just dismissing it, -- I really want to spend more
time reading this, because I feel as if she's following
a number of the hunches I have, and I'm really interested
in her conclusions.

Why haven't I heard of her before? Why such a weak
Internet presence? Does anyone else here know about
her?

Lion, I read the essay your url pointed to and skimmed the rest of her
site. Impressive, but didn't notice any novel themes; although I am
only a novice (or less) with most of her themes.

The internet doesn't search/filter for content quality - primarily
because there are too few humans functioning at this level, the
participants of this conference being of that population - of probably
only a few million. And because the content is complex and involves
much time, quality minds cluster in small groups and tend to grow
inward rather than recruit - and it is often difficult to get up to
speed and enter a group. This is one of the blockages that a new
movement for change must face, and why we have been so impotent over
history. The internet, by itself, won't generate the needed
relationships.

My bookmarks contain hundreds of relevant sites I have stumbled
across, but don't have time to review. Each book by someone I highly
respect often contains in its acknowledgments a long list of people
(only an occasional name I recognize) who have related to the author.
Before reading a book I skim the book references, each time astounded
by the many authors missing from the list.

A few examples, are you familiar with:

UIA http://www.uia.be/ and it organizer Anthony Judge
http://www.ceptualinstitute.com/genre/judge/homepageAJ.htm

the Principia Cybernetica Project http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/NUTSHELL.html
and co-founder Francis Heylighen http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/HEYL.html
.

I have know of their work for more than a decade but have not found a
way to interact with their creations and their persons in a meaningful
way. Some of this is my psychological resistance, but there is a real
issue of how persons with large worlds can interact meaningfully. And
how might we collaborate on more than creating information sites and
attending conferences?
