An Interview with Arianna Huffington
Arianna Huffington, political pundit and editor in chief of the award-winning internet newspaper The Huffington Post, tells us why she believes that politics, culture, and consciousness itself are evolving in response to a deep yearning for transcendence that she calls “the fourth instinct.â€
If Huffington wishes to use the term ‘evolving’ in this context (I am generally critical of New Age usages), why not challenge standard Darwinism, and do so in the open at Huffington Post? The critics of Darwinism (who aren’t granted the exhalted status celebrities) need help, but are ignored by the media biggies who are afraid of ever questioning the reigning paradigm.
There surely ain’t going to be a cultural evolution toward transcendence if we can’t get beyond Darwinism.

Turing to page 94 of the same issue of Enlightenment Next (note magazine name change), and you will see an advertisment for my book (one of three in fact in different magazines). Hopefully, Arianna Huffington will see my book blurb when she reviews the magazine content. She might get wind of the issue that we both have with Darwinism, going to Amazon looking first at my book before leap frogging onto WHⅇ but I agree with you that she may not understand the failure of Darwinism.
