Amsterdam, January 16, 2006 Hi all, Jeff Meyerhoff continues his close reading of Wilber's texts, this time examining the "20 Tenets", the general characteristics Wilber claims all holons, individual and social, have in common. He compares and contrasts this with statements made by authorities in the field of biology, ranging from Dawkins and Gould, to encyclopaedic articles from the life sciences. Essentially, he is making up for the work dozens of Wilber students should have done a decade ago. Meyerhoff concludes: "there are many anomalies and contradictions which show that the 20 tenets do not describe the “'laws' or 'patterns' or 'tendencies' or 'habits'” that “all known holons seem to have in common,” as Wilber contends."
