Every once in a while, an idea comes along that changes the way we all look at ourselves forever. Before Descartes, nobody knew they were thinking. They all believed they were just mulling. Until Karl Marx, everyone totally hated one another but nobody knew quite why. And before Freud, nobody understood that all of humanity could be classified into one of two simple types: people who don’t yet know they want to sleep with their mothers, and people who already know they want to sleep with their mothers. These dialectics can change and shape who we are so profoundly, it’s hard to imagine life before the paradigm at all.
Enter “Muppet Theory,” which is “a little-known, poorly understood philosophy that holds that every living human can be classified according to one simple metric: Every one of us is either a Chaos Muppet or an Order Muppet.” Check out the rest of this humorous philosophical article HERE, and try to determine whether you are a Chaos Muppet or an Order Muppet.
Muppets of the world, unite!

[…] Becoming Integral, who explains the Muppet Theory (it’s something to do with Marx, or Freud, or, maybe, Sesame Street?) […]

Thanks, Rose. That is very sweet of you, indeed. I appreciate the sentiment, although the tasks required for official acceptance will probably prove too daunting for my rather dilatory personality.
Cheers,
