We have a list of related mapping efforts, and I thought it would also be useful to have a list of related efforts to compile key resources for the second renaissance ecosystem (related to the one I recently posted about). Here are some I’ve found already, feel free to suggest more:

This is helpful. Another idea that occurred to me would be some sort of topical index, especially for questions in which there is active controversy between some of the major metatheories referenced in the guides above.
The most standout of these controversies is personal development. Is there a valid linear personal development model with identifiable stages? Some of the metatheories argue strenuously there is. Others equally strenuously there is not.
Also, the question of cosmic teleology (is there one), has lately become rather contentious. On a less grand scale, is there a world-historical metanarrative involving cultural evolution by stages?
Another question in which discussion is all over the place lately - what is consciousness?
My main point about the questions above being that the liminal web may be circling a variety of common attractors, but it hardly represents a unified point of view.
