  1. “I have the right to defend myself in case the government decides to pass a law that imposes on my freedom, therefore i have this bomb that can instantly wipe out all of Washington DC, just in case. I feel so safe and free. USA! USA! USA!”
  2. Listening to feedback is definitely good. Whether it's in business, your relationships, politics and whatever eneavors you are engaged in. Listening to people is good, whether it's positive or negative. Just make sure you don't rely on the positive feedback of others to make yourself feel good. First and foremost you are the one that has to feel good about your own work. Do the things you produce make you feel good, does it fulfill you and do you feel you are doing a good job creating it? If so, the positive feedback from others is just a cherry on top, it should not be the bulk of the cake.
  3. Maybe some cliffs or are you just plugging your Youtube channel? Watching videos is a very inefficient way of taking in information in comparison to text.
  4. I thought the second Matrix movie was so bad that I could never get myself to watch the third one. Loved the first one though, pretty mindblowing back in the 90s and obviously it had a big impact on Hollywood.
  5. Leadership =/= having the most blunt power. Even if that blunt power is economical and political. Is the USA "leading the free world" ? I don't think so, even though they would like the world believe that they do. As consciousness evolves we will see governments and businesses focussing toward other goals than sheer profit and political power. Sustainability, innovation, technology, cooperation, durability etc. But at the moment the US has no interest in going toward that direction because they aren't the front runners in many of those areas
  6. What about if i build an atomic bomb in my basement? That should be legal too based on your reasoning lol
  7. Where are the happiest people in the world according to research? Scandinavia and Western Europe Where are the healthiest and longest living people in the world according to research? Scandinavia and Western Europe Where are governments the largest relative to the countries’ GDP? Scandinavia and Western Europe
  8. The future of companies is definitely where CEOs actually have to care about its employees instead of just exploiting them for labor. Along with the other stake holders. i actually think we will also see more companies working together in a transparent way(i don’t mean to make a cartel). And companies collaborating with charities and government.
  9. I wonder if Taliban rule is inevitable. Apparently Afghanistan was like a free kleptocracy where thieves rule. The administration only cared about enriching themselves. Seems very spiral dynamics stage red. And Taliban is also stage red but they seem to want to transition to a stage blue society. At least that is their ideology. Very strict rules, the opposite of a free society basically. Maybe such an administration is necessary for the people to become more politically aware and involved of what’s going on with the country. I don’t know. How else could Afghanistan have fallen so easily?
  10. Thanks, any chance you will make one for Stage Red and Purple?
  11. People that are doing well from a stage orange paradigm don’t have much incentive to evolve themselves. Let’s say you are full stage orange and you have financial freedom, a job you at least tolerate, you can get all the sexual partners you want, people look up to you and your lifestyle etc. Most people would be happy maintaining that status quo in their lives. According to the mainstream narrative they have achieved the “American dream”. Actually evolving past stage orange can put all those things in jeopardy. And the ego will come up with infinite reasons to stay put and maintain. So that person has to take a big risk to keep personally evolving. There’s simply no external or societal pressure on stage orange people to keep going. Whereas for a stage red person, for example, there is. Stage red behavior will be less and less acceptable as societal virtues increase and evolve. In that instance they have to evolve themselves to maintain basic survival.
  12. Challenge yourself, get out of your comfort zone. Realize that you will never know everything, you can't master everything. Realize that humility is a virtue. Learn new things, expand your mind, not only spiritually, but also intellectually. Don't think that engaging in spiritual matters makes you better than others, but view it as something that will help you connect better with your true authentic being. And focus less on your self image. But have a purpose in your life. When you are engaged with something that is bigger than yourself, you put less pressure on the self through a surrender.
  13. It comes down to a lack of consciousness, it's that simple really. Deep down; junkies know that what they are doing is wrong and won't make them happy or fulfilled. Addiction can be healed through awareness and consciousness when junkies have the proper guidance. Counseling can help them gain consciousness. Along with some structure and a support system in their lives. The experience as the human as a meat puppet is a low conscious experience. The animalistic part of us gets addicted to substances. But the divine part of us will always know that addiction is hurting us. Through consciousness we can get more in touch with our divine nature and put the animalistic part in a more holistic light. It prevents the animal from running wild. It eats when it needs to, sleeps when it needs to. No excesses and no lack.
  14. Yeah the solution is awareness. Through awareness and consciousness you will notice that your bad habits of avoidance and escapism are hurting you. "Objectively" it seems innocent, but through awareness you will notice that you are hurting yourself in the moment by not being conscious in the moment. Laziness is really just a lack of awareness. Notice that there is a difference between an hour of conscious meditation and an hour of lying on the couch watching netflix. You expand roughly the same amount of calories in both activities but they affect you differently in the moment - and over time. A conscious person is aware that lying on the couch just being a vegetable is toxic behavior. An unconscious person sees no difference between an hour of meditating and an hour of lounging on the couch.
  15. Negative entities? Psychic attacks?
  16. I don't think this generation is dumber than the previous ones. It's probably the perception because we are globally connected now through the internet that we become more aware of the dumbest people in the world through the internet all the time. The dumbest people seem to get the most attention. Just look on Youtube and TikTok. We see stupid videos all the time and a lot of people have a morbid curiosity to see stupidity. And we are also way more away of the less developed countries because of the globalization. The more developed countries will get more into contact with the less developed ones which will also affect the culture and views of the more developed societies.
  17. Some areas where you can find Stage Green'ish people: Psychology, Sociology, Biology, Environmental Sciences, Social Studies, Animal Welfare, Nutritional sciences, Holistic health, Climate science
  18. I personally do believe in monogamy. But any kind of measures taken to control the dating market can only do more harm than good. And I don't even think it will work. It's like trying to ban pornography from the internet, good luck with that. Banning and/or regulating it seems to only create sexual repression in people.
  19. I really don't know about Frank Yang. I watched a couple of videos of his but a lot of it seemed like incoherent manic ramblings without a real solid intellectual basis. Maybe that's just the way he expresses himself but I will stay skeptical of his claims and his methods.
  20. I think Joe Rogan is very happy and content exactly where he is in life. The last thing he wants is an existential crisis or even get closer to 'truth'.
  21. I personally think that affirmations or just hearing certain things externally doesn't much affect your subconscious mind. The thing that really changes your subconscious minds are your daily habits through your actions. So if you are able to change your actions, you are able to change how your mind operates. I do think that affirmations, reading things and hearing things can plant the seed in our minds. But effectively, the seeds in themselves don't do much unless you make them come to fruition with your actions. So listening to certain content can steer you to a certain direction, but for it to have any meaningful change you have to follow through on it.
  22. You can only know when you look death right into the eyes imo. In my daily life it feels like i don’t fear death at all, but that is in my mind. When i had a few close encounters with death i was surprised how much fear of death is hidden from me in my normal state of consciousness.
