Great conversation. I am not an expert on adult development but I can relate to the research by the neopiagetians that was brought up here. In my experience people just go on individuating - they become more complex and more individuated. The drive to figure things out in a systemic way and to make sense of the complexity in ones experience in order to fit into a larger picture is definitely a need that is common - but its maybe not as central as Integral Theory suggests it. People don't naturally do this weaving together of different layers of society and psychology like Jonathan Haidt or other came to do in their later life. Maybe that is because there is a lack of context to do this on a large societal scale.
Only a dedicated spiritual practitioner like Bruce Alderman can stand on top of a mountain for over an hour, smile and not blink
