2:13: Trump versus Harris: A Creative Perspective


Listen Later

In this episode, Orna discusses the American election through a creative lens, using the psychological theory of Spiral Dynamics. She examines the value systems that underpin levels of existence and how they contend Donald Trump, and conservative politicians, hold an 'orange' self-interested, achiever mindset and Kamala Harris, and progressive politicians, a 'green' sensitive with a communitarian mindset. She proposes that progressive politics needs to shift towards the 'yellow' integral, creative mindset if it is to foster a holistic political discourse that bridges divides and addresses communal needs and emphasizes the importance of internal transformation and creative engagement if global political dynamics are ever to evolve.
