Well, maybe he's right, or maybe he himself is committing the classic Ken Wilber pre-trans fallacy, oops, make that the reductionist fallacy.

Pre/trans fallacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm no sage, but I manifested a good free computer in one week, for an example.

Maybe the cognoscenti don't want the unwashed masses to horn in on the good stuff without the bracing hard work they put in?

As for the obvious material limitations of the planet, I think that once people start getting more personally empowered, they will realize they don't have to "get it before the hoarders," and overconsumption will simmer down.

Could be wrong, of course.

I would love to see an experiment in empowering third world people's thinking. I think about that a lot.
