Well... this does make more sense from a developmental MM POV (ie. personal/cultural dev being similar), but cultural epistemes aside if I look at the MM methods listed in the article we covered in our ep I see many of the techniques in Vajrayana.

Yeah, to me that correspondence is a stretch. For instance, what do you do w the fact that there are plenty of "trad'l people" (or modern, or pomo...) out there in this MM moment, and all these "stages" will continue to be present long after MM is replaced by the next episteme?

Well, that’s explicit in the explanations of people who make this correspondence (e.g. Robert Kegan). Only some people in a society are fully able to adopt the later, more difficult epistemes, which develop at an intellectual cutting edge.

Whenever people compare stages of personal development with stages of cultural development, my inner skeptic stands up. Look at Zhuangzi for a great example of a postmodern thinker thousands of years before his 'time'.
