Final Question 10

Horgan seemed to really like Wilber. He agreed with everything that he said and did. It wasn’t until he realized this that he tried to find something wrong with him. He noticed that Wilber was “an arrogant asshole” (Wilber’s words, not Horgan’s), even though Horgan claims that that was not what he was getting at. He pointed out that although Wilber seemed modest in person, he was only appearing that way. Really, Wilber was a bragging know-it-all. He just hid it very well. Horgan kept remembering Wilber’s comment, “I’m enlightened, and you’re not.” Just that statement alone is screaming ARROGANT ASSHOLE. So I would say that Horgan’s chief critique of Ken Wilber is that Wilber thinks he knows it all.
