  1. Maybe look up - Ken Wilber - All Quadrants - All Levels (integral life practice) Spirituality tends to focus on Personal Subjective. I think your talking about Personal Objective (tidy your room, get organised, invest in bitcoin)
  2. I think the tools developed in Orange - scepticism, rationality, pragmatism - eventually lead one to transcend Orange into green. I imagine all levels have, happiness & security and stability as their desired outcome. In order to transcend you need to become aware the paradigm doesn't deliver - that can be experienced directly but also through thought experiments. Even in its most extreme forms of manifestation - Orange still wants to loved, appreciated, respected. But out of these two who do you respect more?
  3. No sure about this one! - I think its Orange (jack) vs Green (tom)
  4. 2 of wands The man in the Two of Wands is holding a small globe and stands on the roof of a castle, looking out over a vast terrain to the right and an ocean to the left. The globe in his hands represents that the world is his oyster and there is huge potential if he can expand his horizons to encompass broader life experiences. He understands his ambition and knows what must be done. He is wearing an orange tunic, which symbolises an enthusiastic approach to life, and a red hat, symbolising a passion for adventure. 4 of pentacles The Four of Pentacles shows a man sitting on stool, away from his home town. He tightly holds onto his pentacles or coins in a very defensive posture as though he were hoarding them for fear of loss. One pentacle is balanced on his head, one clutched between his hands, and two are securely placed underneath his feet. He is making sure that no-one touches his coins! And, he cannot go anywhere because his feet are busy holding the coins down. In other words, this man is so tied up with his possessions, that he cannot do anything else. His eyes appear darkened from hard work but his mouth betrays the hint of a smile, which comes from the self-satisfaction of his accomplishments.
  5. How can a thinking adult who derives his income from plundering the living oceans..tearing out sentient beings who like him want to be happy....decapitating them, gutting them...feasting on their flesh.....motivated only by greed, taste and culture, - be above a simple vegan..tending their allotment and eating some beans? -Thats a demonstration (you caricature a position in order to knock it down and make it look ridiculous) If you look up - The Banality Of Evil - you can see the even the most extreme acts of cruelty can be conducted with an air of ease and - 'business as usual' - That what Orange does best!.. Anyway who needs buckets of blood these days when - you have footage of slaughter houses - Probably water off a ducks back for most Oranges though.....Meat...GOOD, Chicken...GOOD..... Bacon & sausages GOOD.....why identify with farm animals....im not one!
  6. Have you ever heard of a straw man argument.....
