  1. But if Yellow discourse does not enter the chat, by definition it is not a significant part of mainstream culture. You can't just have Yellow make appearances in academic work. I needs to be all over YT, Facebook, Twitter, and cable TV. Otherwise it hasn't really penetrated culture. Your grandma needs to be talking about Yellow ideas at the dinner table. Until that happens, society is very far from Yellow. The kinds of topics we cover on Actualized.org need to become so mainstream that Actualized.org becomes obsolete. That's what a Yellow society would look like.
  2. Sounds like you got a lot of work to do. Also, don't neglect mastering basic survival aspects of life: If you feel lonely, make some quality friends. If you feel horny, learn to date. If you are struggling with money, master that aspect of life.
  3. Absolutely. I pretty much guarantee you will have all sorts of neurotic baggage remaining post-enlightenment. And your farts will smell of jasmine and daffodils, just like the Buddha's.
  4. Red Pill is not just not entirely true. It's a steaming pile of toxic turd. Red Pill ideology is not even allowed on this forum. Nothing good will come of it.
  5. There are many brilliant people you could compare me against. But Tai Lopez?? Lol
  6. How the fuck should I know? Go ask him how he justifies it in his Boomer mind. You should start by asking him what new sources he consumes. That will be a clue.
  7. Einstein declined the Israeli presidency and spoke of the dangers of Zionism. I could find quotes but I'm too lazy to look for them.
  8. Firstly, there are plenty of Turquoise Boomers. Secondly, just because a person is into mystical stuff does not make him Turquoise. Your mind is looking for some simplistic formula to explain the complexity of human minds, and you just won't find that. Spiral Dynamics is just a loose rule of thumb. It has plenty of edge-cases and exceptions. A model is just a model. And Spiral Dynamics does not model high stages of consciousness or mysticism well at all.
  9. Just to fuck with your mind's a bit more: David Hawkins sung the praises of Ben Shapiro and Shapiro's worldview while denouncing post-modernism. David Hawkins was a very conscious guy, spiritually speaking. But politically he was a fool. Having good politics is a separate matter from spiritual development. Politics requires years of careful study. You will not get good politics just from spiritual practice. And remember, most spiritual masters got their awakening through giftedness and super-natural talent. But you don't get good politics through talent or giftness. Good politics requires serious study and contemplation.
  10. The mind's capacity to fool itself is limitless. Boomers love Trump because he appeals to the worldview they were raised in and the media they consume.
  11. All rights are imaginary inventions of the ego. No one has a right to anything, ever. I have no problem with Israel being a state. But the idea of a state only for one ethnicity or religion is absurd. That's called an ethnostate and is exactly what Hitler wanted. That results in evil. For a state to be conscious, good, and sustainable it must treat all of its citizens equally well, regardless of their ethnicity or religion. Zionists are making exactly the same mistake Hitler made in running his state. Israel should not be a Jewish state. It should just be a state for whoever likes to live there. Imagine how absurd it would be if we founded a white Christian state within America that treated everyone else as second class citizens.
  12. I wouldn't bet on it. His survival and identity is totally wrapped up with this. It will be very painful for him to admit to himself that he was so wrong. Trump supporters will sooner triple down than admit any wrong-doing.
  13. He rejected Zionism too. Which just goes to show how thoughtful he was.
  14. Not necessarily. If you were a conscious and independent-minded German who took epistemology and philosophy seriously, you might be like Einstein -- who was very outspokenly anti-Nazi and anti-nationalist. He was even against Jewish nationalism while being a Jew. Did you know that the Jews nominated Einstein to be the president/leader of Israel but he declined? Why did he decline? Because he said Jewish nationalism was as dangerous as German nationalism. And he was right. Today Jewish nationalism is leading to all sorts of evils. You don't have to fall into the delusions of your culture. But in order to do that you must truly contemplate reality for yourself and have the courage to stand for your convictions, not just being a sheep. Most scientists, philosophers, doctors, academics, and intellectuals are sheep. A few aren't. That is what distinguishes a true genius.
  15. 5-MeO-DMT will be just like that but on steroids.
  16. Because enlightenment does not guarantee an developed mind. Developing the mind, and proper use of the mind, is a very separate thing from enlightenment. You can be enlightened and still use your mind improperly. I've seen many enlightened people do that. The trap here is that once you become enlightened you get the silly idea that now your mind doesn't matter and that you can use it flawlessly. Nope! You cannot escape the mind and its trickeries no matter how enlightened you get.

  18. It's probably so core that I don't even consider it core. It's just the air I breathe as I go about my day.
  19. You won't deeply contemplate everything you study. You selectively contemplate those aspects of reality which seem important. But in general, any time you learn or read something you should be contemplating it at least a little, if only for 10 or 60 minutes. Otherwise you'll just adopt a bunch of beliefs and act like a fool. Pickup/dating/communication certainly needs to be contemplated. I've spent 100s of hours contemplating that stuff and deriving important insights. If you just mechanically follow some rules someone else has told you about, I guarantee your results will not be optimal and you will fall into delusion at some point. There is a lot of bad advice within pickup that you should not be following. How will you distinguish that without contemplation? Contemplation is also faster and easier and safer than field testing. You can contemplate a lot more stuff than you can field test. Field testing is just an extension of contemplation, really. Contemplation >> Field testing >> More contemplation >> More field testing >> More contemplation That is the cycle. Obviously, although basically everything is made better with contemplation. The question isn't whether you should contemplate a thing, but which things to prioritize contemplating. Life is all about being picky and prioritizing your time and energy well. Contemplate especially those things which are of highest significance to you, those things which you will spend a lot of time doing. Like life. Life is a good thing to contemplate because you'll be spending 80 years living it
