This is a documentary which talks about the sex trafficking of women in Nigeria. It's very blunt and very real...

We all did it!??? Congratulations Leo!!!!!!

Albert Camus ? and also Ken Wilber?

Man I really hate this "youtuber" culture! When a person evaluates just a tiny fraction of the video, and not even allowing the video to run out properly because he's constantly interrupting and then later asking "where did she got this from? I don't understand!". Of course... because you haven't watched the whole thing.... BUT! to be honest... he does present some interesting points, specially with regard to the difference between sex and gender, that was quite illuminating. That is something to be taken in consideration.

Lessons to be learned from that video: "Sparta were the first collectivists, and they killed the Athenians... that's kinda what's happening being replayed today..." "Being a Trump supporter is waaay more punk rock... than supporting sleeepy Joe Biden(a LOSER!)" "I think Black Lives Matter started with the right intent... I don't think they started protesting for no reason... I mean.. watching the knee on George Floyd's neck... that was really fucked up!" Reporter asks: "So did you supported the Black Lives Matter initial protests?" "I mean............I don't know..................Actually...I wanna cut this interview..."

Very nice video which talks about the excesses of the vMEME Green in terms of gender equality. Debra Soh is a journalist who used to do researches at a University in the field of gender science and found that people who suffered from gender dysphoria and went through a radical transition to change their gender identity at a very early age (below 18) suffered from a lot of depression and mental illnesses. What happened though is that this particular university seemed very dissatisfied by that because they saw it as a threat to transgender communities and they tried to block that research from being published and she ended up cutting ties with that University and realeased that publication now as a freelance journalist. I have the sense that a lot of right-wing conservatives tend to take advantage of her research as a way to justify their rhetoric against minorities and against the left, which is definitely not the case, if you watch this interview you can see that she still advocates for gay rights and transgender rights, it's just that sometimes vMEME Green can become too ideological with flattening off hierarchies and social inequality that they can lose sight of the bigger picture.

To be fair... I'm not 100% sure about this video... but the impression I got from the guest is that he talks from a 2nd tier understanding with regard to that topic.

Right in the beginning of the conversation, Roger Penrose explains to Joe Rogan about Godel's incompleteness theorem. very top notch. For those folks who are in to physics.

vMEME Green with some elements of VMEME Yellow

https://www.amazon.com/Getting-Gamers-Psychology-Impact-People-ebook/dp/B014ZT5SQM That's an interesting book which talks about the unhealthy aspects of VMEME Orange Gamer Culture, as well as how the Game Industry exploit the cognitive biases of their users in order to make profit out of it. Most of the author's approach comes basically from mainstream behavioural and social psychology, but I found interest the way he conveyed that on to videogames. I'm also sending these two South Park videos that talks about the some of the topics covered in this book: the freemium games.

Here are a few videos which talks about the history and the basic principles of the Philosophy of Science.

This video is somewhere between vMEME Green and vMEME Yellow

It is absolutely true that not all people will nicely fit into one stage. And the Spiral Dynamics model actually accounts for that. If we take a look at Ken Wilber's Integral Model, as well as Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, we will see that people diferent areas of development that they want to pursue in their lives. Leo also made a video in which he talks about that. As for philosophy and scientific models, I agree with you that it might be tricky, because it is very easy to spot the value meme of a stage at its broadest/grossed forms in society. Whereas with philophy and scientific models. We have to look at the implied metaphysics that reflects their worldview. Going back to the example of Nietzsche: his most strongest worldviews is that reality is inherently meaningless, and the conclusion that he drew was that neither social nor religious morals should drive one's path, which is basic nihilism. But he acknowledges that the individual should develop his own identity by being more authentic and relying on himself in order to guide his life(vMEME Orange). At the same time, he lashes out a lot of his hatred towards religion and seems a bit moralizing when he judges those who follow their rules ( which strikes me as vMEME Blue and vMEME Red). Albert Camus, however, took a different path: he arrived at the same conclusion that Nietzsche's had, but instead of feeling bitter about it, he was cool with it. he actually embraced the absurdity of living a life that is inherently meaningless and inspired others to do so. I'll leave a link that talks about the principles of the Integral Model developed by Ken Wilber. I think that it's a very nice tool in order to make more finer dintinctions on the Spiral Dynamics model. And I'll also sent a link to Leo's video about the nuances one needs to take while using the Spiral Dynamics lenses.??

Interesting take on Dostoyevsky's story. I haven't taken that in consideration, thank you for elucidating that @DocWatts. As for "Crime and Punishment". I still take the same position that I've had before. Take the epilogue for example: even after confessing his crime and being sent to Siberia, he still sees himself as superior than the other prisoners and do not understand why they're picking on him, the only moment when he settled down was when he finds out that he's in love with Sonya. As for Nietzsche... well... he is complicated. I see him as a "malfunctioning vMEME Orange". The reason why I say he is malfunctioning is because of his life story: due to a lot of trauma and mental disorder he developed a lot of hiccups on the vMEME Blue, which in turn he reacts against it very often by regressing into vMEME Red. Ken Wilber describes this behavior as being "An allergy" to a particular stage. I would love to continue the conversation with you but I think this is getting beyond the scope of this thread. If you like we can message each other up or create another topic that talks about similar concepts. That would be cool!?? take care.?

I will have to disagree with you on that regard. What happened is that Raskolnikov (the main character) was actually able to see the limitations of vMEME Blue, but he didn't know how to integrate it properly and transcend it into vMEME ORANGE. And because of that (also the fact that he had some money issues) what happened is that he regresses into vMEME Red and ends up killing a person. And the rest of the book is him trying to make sense of all that... Another point is that Dostoyevsky was anything but vMEME Blue. In his novels he is very critical about the way society was structured at his time (in 19th century Russia, which was very Blue and Red). He himself was exiled to Siberia to do forced labor. I highly recommend everyone to go read this book. I'm glad you brought that up @DocWatts ! Sorry if I've been too harsh in my commentary, that wasn't my intention.??
