Quote:If we look at any particular aspect of evolution, we can identify incremental changes which happen periodically which give rise to emergent properties, where something new comes forth into being. Each new emergence can be seen as a stage, level, or wave of development. In the upper-right quadrant, we have physical and biological evolution. In the lower-right quadrant, we have socioeconomic and technological evolution. In the lower-left quadrant, we have cultural evolution. And in the upper-right quadrant, we have evolution of the individual consciousness. All of these unfold in a discernable pattern.
There seems to be a mistake, the bolded part should read "And in the upper-left quadrant".
Interresting read, thanks for sharing and thanks to metieta for bringing it up.
