““Crowdocracy is based on this fundamental Integral principle that ‘everybody is right’ (or ‘true but partial’), and it is simply a putting into action of that principle in as many places as possible when we want truly ‘full-spectrum’ solutions to our problems – particularly our ‘wicked problems’ – where one of the reasons they are ‘wicked’ is that not a wide enough range of developmental and Integral diversity has been taken into account to produce real solutions.””
