But it is still very difficult to follow at times... and, to be honest, and didn't like the way he wrote that book, however, the message that he tried to convey is brilliant. Here I present you two great resources for understanding Heidegger and his Existential Phenomenology: one is a documentary, and the other is a book by an american philosopher, called Hubert Dreyfus, who was specialized in Heidegger's Philosophy, and wrote a book with his commentary on "Being and Time" which helped me a lot?? https://www.amazon.com/Being-World-Commentary-Heideggers-Division/dp/0262540568

@DocWatts If you try to strictly follow what Heidegger is telling with his categorization of the pre-ontological nature of Dasein...You'll probably get lost and will not understand the juice of what he's saying, because his book is extremely difficult to read (not as Hegel of course) he wasn't as good of a teacher as his mentor, Edmund Husserl... What worked for me while I was reading Heidegger was to look at my direct experience and try to extract the being-in-the-world that he was talking about... and I came out with two examples: 1 - the experience of freshness when a baby explores the world 2 - the experiential component someone has when moving to another country, especially if it is one by which their culture is very different than his, there's an element of discovery and surprise, you don't take anything for granted anymore, your dealings with the environment gets shifted a little bit, even if some of your activities may look familiar. These are the examples I could find where the sense of averageness/everydayness start to fade away, and leaves room for the manifestation of Dasein to arise (once again) in our consciousness, an then it becomes much easier to grasp the concepts that he was trying to convey in his book. @DocWatts I hope that Helped!??

I would counter-argue with this playlist: Why would logic, rationality, materialism and reductionism (a.k.a Scientism) be the foundation of reality? After all.. all of that comes from our human biases and projections and from the way we perceive the world: if we were blind, we would do science in a completely different way, if we could see a different color spectrum, we would do science in a completely different way, if we were the size of atoms, and so on....you got the idea, that our "Human Configuration " pre-determines the range of what is possible to be categorized. The point is: the way we gather information, or "data", is very tied to the way we humans apprehend reality, with our own very idiosyncratic manner, and, with that said, we must also include our subjectivity, our culture, our psychology, our phisiological structure etc... It's not just a given that we experience the world this way...

These are two Great videos which talks about the shortcomings of vMEME Orange worldview and its reaction against vMEME Green, by the lenses of Jordan Peterson. I loved how this guy really embodies the principles of Tier 2 thinking: he's non-judgemental and tries to "steelman" Jordan Peterson's arguments, by cross-referencing it with other examples and different ideas from other thinkers, and see if there is any contradiction in his POV. And I absolutely Loved it!????

“Eternity is in love with the productions of time.” “If a thing loves, it is infinite.” William Blake

That's a very interesting story. This video is a bit more nuanced, but I think that kind of lifestyle suits well with vMEME Green

when someone very stuck at vMEME Orange preaches about deregulation of the private sector and/or that free public health care is a form of socialism... send that video and try to have a discussion with him later.

from the movie Magnolia(1999), where Tom Cruise plays a vMEME Orange PUA character... I've heard that it was inspired by a real pickup artist, called Ross Jefries, which was known for applying NLP techniques as seduction, back in the early 90's

This is a very blunt, but well-intentioned video, pointing out the hypocrisy of rich vMEME Green liberals, who lives in affluent blue state regions of the country.

OMG! ?? I've never saw the lighting effects so well synchronized with the song like that!??? Just the lights themselves would be a concert of its own!????

Financial Education = Lobbying

Dan Pena I'll actually put him at vMEME Orange, the problem is that he shows a very unhealthy vMEME Red behavior, and he seems to take pride in that toxic notion of being the "Alpha Male", who needs o conquer and dominate everyone and everything...

@Carl-Richard do you think Bernardo Kastrup might fit in the Philosophical Metatheorist category?

A follow-up from that video

I have no idea

There is no "better stage", there are only stages above and below, and each stage, from vMEME Purple and beyond, might be suitable, depending on the environment that you're in... The Spiral Dynamics model is a vMEME Yellow development, it works with paradigms and models of reality (Systems Thinking). vMEME Turquoise, from my position, is post-paradigmatic, Holistic and non-dual Thinking, there is no model that could match Turquoise, because it's connected at the level of BEING, and being transcends any concept and any model you can think of... However, coming from the paradigm of vMEME Yellow, it is entirely possible to develop a model even for vMEME Turquoise, it would not be as complete as the other ones, but still possible...

Tier 2, which is where vMEME Yellow emerges from, is the ground from which the person can realize that society and individuals are developed based on models, and not just that, but he also becomes aware that he himself has his own framework for self-development, and that it too is just model , so why would he not able to conceptualize other stages? Don Beck and Christopher Cowan themselves are at Yellow, and they conceptualized vMEME Turquoise, if its right or wrong I don't know, I've never reached that stage, but because they have been at Yellow for so long, and they approach the SD model from a place of honesty and unbias, that I believe they were able to spot the things that needs to be transcended from Yellow and reach Turquoise, and, because of vMEME Yellow's paradigm, that too is just a model...

Man, you forgot Jay Forrester and Donella Meadows, the developers of Systems Dynamics at MIT https://youtube.com/channel/UCIMMr8pSgOdBdVZYIyZX3Yg

@Carl-Richard Man! I really Love your posts on Systems Thinking!????

This video is very interesting and very informative, it talks about how to develop a global internet, but also regarding its impediments, like the intense trafficking of satellites and debris on Earth's Orbit, running risk of colliding with each other... This video can be very technical sometimes, in fact, there are two technical jargon that I want to explain in case some of the viewers might get lost: Geostationary Orbit - when a satellite follows the Earth's rotation at the same speed, making it constantly covering the same area L.E.O - acronym for Low Earth Orbit, the ideal position to set up satellites with GPS and internet system.
