I think you might enjoy it!?? This book is very thought provoking ? And he's able convey his ideas in a very direct and "colloquial " manner!??

This video covers both vMEME Yellow and vMEME Orange. If you're talking about the actual mechanics of how to develop a program with an algorithm that is capable of gathering as much data as possible from its users, putting into a psychometric chart, so that it can know how to present them with content which makes them more engaged to their platforms, that's vMEME Yellow. But if you're talking about the ethical issues of having your personal information(data) being violated by big tech companies in order "to sell" to companies in exchange for sponsored ads, or to make their users so addicted to their social media platforms to the point of ruining their lives and disrupting the "social order", just because it is profitable for companies like Facebook and Google to do so, that's vMEME Orange. Because the main theme of the Documentary it's to discuss about the ethical misconducts of social media, and its effects on society, I decided to post in the vMEME Orange thread.

@Nobody_Here wow! Thank you for sending that link and that article on the stages of ego-development! These are gold!!! ??? I will send two videos from the movie "Wittgenstein", by Derek Jarman, in which a lot of scenes were taken from actual examples from the book(Philosophical Investigations), in which he tries to deconstruct the "mysterious" nature of language.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_Investigations Philosophical Investigations - Ludwig Wittgenstein A very good book for understanding the nature of Language and its implications in our world and our sense of reality.

I disagree with their solution at the end, I find it too Libertarian. But the Documentary as a whole is very good

"For by now I could have stretched out my hand and struck you and your people with a plague that would have wiped you off the earth. But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth." —Exodus 9:14–16

An interesting link between Hegelian Dialects and Spiral Dynamics...

When vMEME Red gets entangled with vMEME Orange. This kind of exploitation only exists because celebrities and top CEOs are willing to pay for sex with multiple women, even when they know that these women came illegally from sex trafficking, because otherwise their countries wouldn't allow that to happen if it was all "regulated "

Hong Kong's vMEME Orange "Corporatocracy"

Excess vMEME Orange Capitalism (And also some viewpoints from vMEME Green)

The most "clear as day" examples of vMEME Green entrepreneurship I've ever seen in a documentary

very nice example of vMEME Green sustainability

Surely it cannot be applied for all the literary spectrum, there's a lot of artistic license that gets in the way throughout the narrative, and it varies from writer to writer... but I also believe that it's possible to find a main theme and/or core principles from a particular character that might resonate to a particular stage of the spiral.

Also Blue: War and Peace: Leo Tolstoy Also Red: Gates of Fire: Steven Pressfield

Is the notion of Holons, the first step towards reaching tier 2 level of thinking? And therefore moving from vMEME Green to vMEME Yellow? I've had that thought after watching a Ken Wilber video in which he says that after post-modernism reach its end, and destroys all the house of cards that were built in the previous stages, it turns out that its inevitable to develop more healthy hierarchies in order to create a more inclusive and more sustainable society... And the concept of holons present both by Ken Wilber and Leo seems to me to be a better conceptual foundation for development, both personal and societal, because it brings some tier 2 thinking that's required to adress what it's left out by post-modernism in its excess, like: transcend and include , growth hierarchies and "going meta" That's my thought on this issue, but I would love to see what you guys think about that, so that we could have a more well rounded discussion about that??...

@Windappreciator I think I know what you mean... Grasp this concept not just by understanding, but by embodying it, is that right?

vMEME Red plot twist in the Invincible series (SPOILER ALERT!)

even though I have a suspicion that the kind of discipline those inmates get from these institutions is leaning more to a healthy vMEME Blue, that initiative, as a social policy, is very vMEME Green. I was very surprised to know that there are such programs here in Brazil.

A beautiful Documentary which clarifies a lot of the concepts expressed by Heidegger in his book "Being and Time, one of the most difficult books I've ever read in my life.

“Reality is what we take to be true. What we take to be true is what we believe. What we believe is based upon our perceptions. What we perceive depends on what we look for. What we look for depends on what we think. What we think depends on what we perceive. What we perceive determines what we believe. What we believe determines what we take to be true. What we take to be true is our reality.” David Bohm

The most Gansgta Documentary I've ever seen...

"Civilization may be the greatest bait-and-switch that ever was. It convinces us to destroy what is free so an overpriced, inferior copy can be sold to us later—often financed with the money we’ve earned hastening the destruction of the free version. Contaminate streams, rivers, lakes, and aquifers with industrial waste, pesticide runoff, and fracking chemicals, and then sell us “pure spring water” (often just tapwater) in plastic bottles that break down into microplastics that find their way to oceans, whales’ stomachs, and our own bloodstreams. Work hard now so you can afford to relax later. We ignore friends and family while we struggle to get rich so someone will eventually love us. The voices of civilization fill us with manufactured yearnings and then sell us prepackaged dollops of transitory satisfaction that evaporate on the tongue. Some throw up their hands and blame it all on human nature. But that’s a mistake. It’s not human nature that makes us engage in this blind destruction of our world and ourselves. For hundreds of thousands of years, human beings thrived on this planet without doing it in. No, this is not the nature of our species—it is the nature of civilization, an emergent social structure in which our species is presently trapped. To understand the roots of our seeming penchant for ecocide, we must understand that an animal’s nature can only be expressed in relation to its environment, natural or contrived." A very eloquent excerpt from the book "Civilized to Death", by Christopher Ryan.
