Speaking in New York June 5th

This week I'm traveling to Massachusetts and New York to work with the former editors of EnlightenNext Magazine on a new policy institute we are founding called The Institute for Cultural Evolution.

The Institute's mission is to solve some of our most difficult political problems by helping to bring about the incremental evolution of consciousness and culture. These problems include climate change, political gridlock, extremism, and America's changing role in the world. For example, the Institute's campaign to combat climate change seeks to increase political and economic will within the American electorate and marketplace to invest in climate change amelioration and new energy technology. The Institute's slogan is: "Nothing makes sense in politics except in the light of cultural evolution."

In connection with the start-up activities of this new think tank, I will be attending a number of meetings and private salons in New York City. However, I will be participating in a public panel discussion about cultural evolution in general with Carter Phipps and Elizabeth Debold at 7PM on Tuesday night, June 5th. This event is being jointly sponsored by the New York Integral Salon and EnlightenNext New York. Please check the websites or Facebook pages of these groups for the location and more details.

Also, I'll be posting more on The Institute for Cultural Evolution think tank in the weeks ahead.
