1/ Quick thread on why integral people often suffer to clarify how to contribute economically, probably 1 of 2 top topics I coach friends about.

TLDR: Integral people live in a gap between evolutionary dilemmas & economic problems.

2/ Money follows problem-solution fit, which in turn requires an understanding of problems. Many problems exist but are not valued as such in a monetary way.

3/ Post-conventional minds often focus on a set of deep but non-monetary problems; by definition they live in a world-space that is beyond the conventional framing of social objectives and structures.

4/ That is, they are post-conventional because they are at the leading edge in how they cognize what’s needed next. But this produces an obvious dilemma, which is this set of problems are challenges in an evolutionary sense but not yet an economic sense.

5/ This gap between evolutionary dilemmas and economic problems causes a huge amount of frustration, burnout, and wasted energy amongst those who live in a transformational world.

6/ The biggest frustration I see is they feel they either have to downcode to meet the conventional values-problem space, or don't and remain obscure inside tiny, niche markets with evidently little real-world impact.

7/ The good news is the Transformation Age will increasingly close this gap, the bad news is it will take decades, and they'll be even later-stage by then anyway.

8/ The solution to this issue overall depends on the stage of the person themselves, as (crudely/roughly) Green, Teal, Turquoise and Indigo will each need something different.
