People in such groups are incapable of serious truth-seeking. Such people need to first resolve their addiction problems through social support before they try to undertake the advanced pursuit of transcending human-kind. Truth-seeking is the most advanced pursuit. It is not for broken people. You don't tell a child to survive on his own in the forest. Surviving alone in the forest is for hardcore, serious, capable people.

Prioritizing anything above truth.

No, he is extremely extroverted and he genuinely loves being friends with women. That is the perfect personality type for getting laid.

@Nito "Let's grab a drink sometime." That's all you need to text a girl. If she is serious she will agree. If she doesn't agree, no amount of bullshitting with her will get her to agree.

Dude, big mistake trying to understand girls behavior like this. Just ask her to meet up, if she refuses, ignore her for a while and ask again a few days later. Keep doing that until she agrees to meet. Stop playing stupid games with her. Stop trying to figure out her chaos. That's way too much emotional investment. You don't need to understand anything about her. Just get her to meet up.

My God, these Christians just cannot help themselves with their BS. It was smart until he had to bring Christianity into it.

Bro, Belgium isn't hijacked by the largest corporations in the world. America is. How do you propose to undo that? The capitalism in Belgium is like a micro-penis while the capitalism in America is like a mechanically augmented elephant cock soaked in steroids going straight for your rear end.

Hey, ya'll, I need your help! I want to create a comprehensive list of video examples of prototypical stage Blue thinking. This is not meant to humiliate or demonize stage Blue. It's meant to be an educational tool for people learning about Spiral Dynamics. So towards that end, scour Youtube and find all the videos you can which exhibit stage Blue thinking. Try to find videos which are short and sweet. Conservative talk show hosts offer tons of Blue material, but also try to find other unique examples. The more diversity we can display here, the better. Try to find examples from various cultures: Europe, Middle East, Asia, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, Africa, South America, etc. We will create a mega-thread like this for every stage in the Spiral, from Red to Turquoise. But for now, let's just focus on Blue. Each week I will start a new mega-thread topic for the next stage. Do not start a political debate in this thread! It is not our goal here to defend our personal political positions or to judge any stage, but simply to compile examples. Thanks for your help! I'm excited to see what kind of juicy stuff you dig up. Try to be selective with your choices. This can turn into a really cool list.

Newsom can win, that doesn't connect with rest of your question. Newsom is just a typical lib politician like Clinton or Biden or Obama. There doesn't need to be some special truth-movement for a guy like Newsom to win. Eventually people will get sick of MAGA. The issue is that Newsom won't solve our deep structural problems any more than Biden did. I see no solution on the horizon for any of our structural problems, regardless of who wins. The problems are too deep for any one guy to fix it.

When I say liberal, I mean anyone left of center. Diversity is a value of the left, not the right. Leftists want more diversity, rightists want less. Do right-wingers want diversity of sex, race, religion, gender? No! They are psychologically incapable of handling diversity. Jordan Peterson still struggles to handle the idea of women working.

Liberals are more openminded than conservatives.

There's various ways to define those parameters. Psychedelics is the most obvious avenue. But there are others.

By getting very clear on your values and then just committing to following your values. There is no magic trick. You just start and you refuse to quit. I care about truth so I am willing to work towards it. But my discipline is not so great. Especially due to health problems, it's often just impossible for me to follow through on certain goals. Your problem is you don't want it bad enough.

Then you will remain Godless.

I have been so busy with stuff that I haven't played much chess.

Leology is the study of Leo.

But they will just do those things through a black market. You have to prevent them from crossing the border because once they are here they are forced to survive by any way possible, legal or illegal.

It's not going to happen organically. Massive dose of 5-MeO-DMT needed.

There is an even deeper mindfuck where you realize that you are hallucinating all your past mindfucks. You are hallucinating every girl you fucked.

Awesome but freaky and lonely.

I am working to fix it.

I'm also working on: Nolipsist -- people who mindlessly reject and deny solipsism.

@Terell Kirby Idiot is pretty harsh. OntoDunce? Haha

If you exclude sincere beliefs then every grifter will just become a true believer. Which is of course exactly what most of them have done.
