    I want to understand what exactly is holding me back from Turquoise. I think my values mostly align with Yellow, I do not seem to posses the love of others and community that this stage embodies so well. In my personal study of the spiral dynamics model, I believe being immersed in a community of this vMeme would evolve my psyche, but we’re can you find these people? Also, have you ever met a Turquoise human being? Are you at Turquoise yourself?

    The rising tension between NATO and Russia will end civilization if strategic decisions aren't made. I understand the animosity toward Russia after this unprovoked attack on the sovereignty of the people of Ukraine, but we can't let our emotions dictate our geo-politics, we NEED to eliminate all possibility for a third world war.  I propose the west do everything in its power to holistically weave Russia into the rest of Europe, this includes NATO membership, EU membership, open trade, supply-chain linkage, foreign investment and venture capital, open borders, and generally anything that will meteorically stimulate the Russian economy. The key here is to make Russia so rich, and so politically and financially interdependent on its neighbors, that the idea of Russia invading its neighbors becomes as absurd as France invading Germany. With a standard of living as high as western Europe, Russia could liberalize and the collective spiral dynamic stage of its people and leaders will begin to lean more toward stage-orange and later even Green. This could also lead to effects such as denuclearization, less corruption, pro-democracy populism, better education, less nationalism, less ethnocentrism, less debt, and over all, less reasons to behave like a nineteenth century empire!

    This will probably take decades of diplomacy, but what are the alternatives? War with Russia?

    I swear it's like every time I think I'm starting to escape, I get sucked right back into it again. This year has been nothing but one failed endeavor after another. Escaping wage-slavery feels like a long arduous journey where every single step is a long arduous journey. I regret to admit a small part of me doubts if its even actually possible. I've tried sharing my ambitions with others but I find it so disturbing that absolutely no one I have ever met has ever seriously entertained the possibility of having so much wealth that one can live totally as one pleases. Like, there mind literally cannot fathom it, you might as well be talking about martians or something.

    I guess I would just like to end this post by thanking Leo and everyone else who has ever transcended the miasmic, soul-crushing, mediocre standard of life that the vast plurality of this poor planet is drowning in. Histories greatest and brightest have inspired me to dedicate my entire life to building a life worth living.

    We are such a gifted species, yet we've used our gifts so foolishly. I think humans are the most beautiful and wonderful of all of natures creations, yet I also despise them for wasting such awesome potential and dragging me into this neo-fuedal dark age society where I have to rent out my own body to others just to eat. May God help us all!
