> It is my view that new verticalities can either become oppressive, as arguably are underway with today's reactionary neo-Feudalism, or emancipatory, aided by an integrative worldview that has a richly-differentiated ontology, axiology, and praxis dedicated to emancipatory individual development and social evolution.

I think, to emancipatory verticality to emerge, it should encapsulate known maximum level of established societal and individual complexity or see these as an understandable entity. This complexity includes individualism, free market capitalism, individual micro-cultures.
