Alicia Menendez interview with poet Jung Pueblo

Advanced Psychology/Advanced Ethics

The link below leads to an interview with poet Jung Pueblo (it starts at 15:25).

 In a recent blog post, I argued that ethics is a kind of technology [1].  The poet Jung Pueblo demonstrates, through his own self-disclosures, that facing our emotions is essential to ethical advance.  He says, furthermore, that we have knowledge today that societies didn't have access to in the past.   This new knowledge--therapeutic ways to heal and become more aware--gives Pueblo hope for the future of humanity.  He explores these ideas poetically in his new book, The Way Forward.

This is a Dark time.  A time when humanity could completely destroy itself.  But this is also a time when Light can break through, like never before.  

Addressing Pueblo's insights in my own jargon:  advancing our level of psych tech advances our ethics tech.  The disciplines of psychology and ethics intertwine.  

By calling both psych and ethics 'technologies'--mental tools, systems of fine-tuned ideas developed over generations and eras--I hope to emphasize and clarify that it is plausible for society to evolve closer  to the Good.  Improved psych and ethics tools lead the way.  

Pueblo's interview is a glmpse of an inspiring, healing journey:
