Puer Aeternus

I don't see why not? At least to some extent, it would just look different. Perhaps as shamans. Some will naturally have spiritual abilities that'd likely be more welcomed than in western society. Depending on location, they could also have access to plant medicine.

It's really a different type of intelligence! A simple life can make you happy, I bet they eat super quality local food too. Especially if you're outside, touching grass, and being in your body with community. Rather than having you face shoved in a screen all day. With these tribal guys, it's super interesting how they can have a sixth sense too. Like they're just intuitively dialed into the flows of their environment from their whole life of living in it. Think it's a mistake to conflate LIVING with enlightenment. But it's definitely closer than neurotically dissociating into your head all the time. Either way, I'm sure a lot are content with how things already are

Brilliant example of what's possible when you maximize your talents with the right experiences and discipline.

Lol, here we go with this shit. That was a lot of words to come up with in reaction to a single sentence. You don't really have an idea of what I'm saying. You're talking to yourself in the mirror.

And so, the trend continues

@RendHeaven Are you by chance offering any of these services?

At the end of the day, it's a model. It's not perfect and doesn't explain reality. It tries to point at patterns, some of which can be interesting and insightful. You have a point with your arguments but you don't really seem to be adapting them when we try to explain and add nuance. Clearly it's just no your cup of tea and there's just not much more to be said! That's alright.

Thanks for the sauce, this is a big reason why I'll never trust scientific theory that's too distant from my direct ability to test. I'll always just treat it as a story, maybe it happened. Maybe I didn't.

You probably got it real good

Dude. It isn't just money. It's survival conditions. That's the war example. Different environments call for different strategies. If the zombie apocalypse happened tomorrow, that's a strong pressure pulling people downward towards survival and a new strategy. We're talking most intense scenario. And even that wouldn't be so clean cut.. oh no and everyone becomes red now instantly! No. It will be messy. There will be struggle. It's not as fallible as you're making it out to be. Softer examples happen all the time. Like a recession, some people get pulled down. It can even be a phase someone goes through in life where they have less resources and need to adapt. And you're right to question it. Getting pulled down sometimes is necessary to consolidate new things and hopefully move on.

I mean yes. We don't all start from the same place and the culture we are born into effects this. You get scaffolded up through red because your culture has already taken care of such survival needs for you. Which has pros and cons. Since your survival needs are taken care of so you can spend more time on other things. If everyone had to go through red center of gravity, so many people would get stuck grappling with survival their whole lives. Since people tend not to climb stages but stabilize around their culture's. If there's a collapse and people can't take survival for granted anymore. Then yes they will fall down, but it would be qualitatively different than if they'd only known red. People sent to war are a great example. Throws them into an intense survival environment. They'll be forced to embody red and it's proactive/painful aspects. Once they come home, most will spring back up to their culture's/previous level again. With new abilities and wounds however.. and sometimes things do go very wrong. But when the survival conditions are restored, so are they mostly to their former level.

Money is definitely true but I wouldn't say it's money only. But money is a fundamental pillar at the bottom supporting it all. When money = survival and even comfort

@saif2 Well, it isn't fair. I think that the issue is that not all people in developed country will be at higher stages. It will be a good spread. Some will care, some won't. In these quote on quote developed nations, most of them are largely in orange. Which can be still okay with exploitation, at its most toxic seeking it out without any moral grounding. They just don't tolerate it on the level blue would.. like literal legal slavery in their home country. Because again, emotional distance. There is a greater caring but it's only half there. It's not much more developed than blue though. Green cares a lot and sees how screwed up this all is. But green usually doesn't have strong enough of a threshold of population/power to change a country's foreign policy. Even if they could, things would probably go very wrong as they lack the ability to use tier two thinking. Blue and orange strategies are simply more pragmatic in the current world order, this represses green's influence down even more. As for your other contemplations! It makes sense information would be key to move people up to the next stage. I could see denial of the suffering of others keeping someone stuck in orange, perhaps if they could breakthrough that denial they'd begin transitioning more to green as they'd be connecting with humanity to a great extent. But I don't really know and these transitions don't always happen in guaranteed or linear ways.

Good find! Funnily enough I started getting this channel popping up in my recommended, I'll definitely check it out now

We see you plotting in the corner with your manipulation skills

@Natasha Tori Maru Woooah such a unique situation!! Very interesting Reminds me of famous people like Daniel Schmachtenberger and Richard Feynman whose parents were both very interested and interesting. Passing their genetics and passions to create very lightning in a bottle children. No surprise you can run circles with seeds like that planted in you so young, even in spite of the flaws!

Western countries can be more well-developed within their countries because they have stakeholders there to take care of. Outside of their borders, this level of accountability falls away and becomes more precarious. Different motives take hold and corrupt actors take stage. Foreign strategy and resource goals are pursued for the benefit of the state and individual actors with their own motives. It becomes more pragmatic, like backing a repressive authoritarian dictator if they will give you diplomatic benefits. Yet the level of development between the backing country and the dictatorship isn't the same. And to cope with this, people living in developed nations create emotional distancing and indifference to separate themselves from exploits done for their benefit abroad. Governments and corporations lean into this and sanitize things further. If Nike directly blasted it in your face how they use child labor from third world countries, they'd lose sales in developed countries. It breaks down the barrier and causes dissonance with their more compareitively progressive values. In lesser developed countries this game isn't as necessary. They're more in survival and less likely to care where something comes from when they're hungry. Additionally their in group out group structure may be more constrained, so as long as people in their identity group aren't being hurt they may not care much.

So wired for truth despite most people not caring about it, irregardless of gender? Perhaps I'm thick, but don't think you're really connecting your points here anyways? You just talked about hunter gather survival conditions and how some other species were matriarchal. Men are more truthful because hunter gatherers lived in patriarchal societies? Don't really see how this connects. Not sure who you're talking to. Or why the wording feels like I'm back in the 2010s and just scrolled past a owning SJWs with cold hard facts videos. Don't make me get more of my science out guysss. IMO Leo has already steel manned this position well on his blog and with more than just the scientific lens. But you can give it a shot at expanding on your perspective more if you like. However, I'm suspicious of pointing broadly to science. Especially this evolutionary psychology vibe. It can all sound very rational and convincing, but much of it is guesswork and storytelling about things that aren't necessarily within easy grasp for direct study. Even if it's relevant, there's other factors at play making things more complicated now.

Maaaaate. Shush. Don't give them ideas. Don't tell the missionaries. I'd like go South America and experience the Amazon in pristine condition. Macheteing through the underbrush into a society of banana cult pyramid scheming primates would soil my childhood dream.

I enjoy the thoughtfulness and detail you always put into your messages on the forum here. It's consistently very nice to read!

Would it be helpful to connect it to something you already have interest in or prior experience with? Granted, it still has to be relevant enough in the field so don't get too crazy obscure with it. Like make a general list of your interests. Can you connect with any of that? Any life altering experiences or disabilities you have? Could potentially apply meditation to that. Is there any research areas/sub-fields within meditation you're interested in? You could just read through other peoples research and expand off of where you see any holes/interesting new possibilities not yet explored. If doing that is allowed in the profession of course. Are you interested in a specific type of meditation or technique? You could focus on that and trying to see how that produces a certain desired outcome. What psychedelics can you test with? Any? Can you combine them with meditation in novel ways and test the results, comparing and contrasting outcomes?

All sounds like good stuff! Ya never know how they are with your deposit when you're trying to move out. Landlord fuckery is common. The six month lease is a nice option even if you don't take it, having to sign a whole year contract drives me a little batty every time. Up the butt, as god has willed it🙏

Double message idk why this has happened whoops

Yuh, if you don't want to go through Google reviews as well. Look on your local subreddit if there hopefully is one! If there is, likely someone has already asked about locksmiths. If you see a decent number of people chiming in with good experiences on a place, it's pretty solid. Just do the classic Google search "Reddit locksmith *your city's subreddit name*" I like this method for local recommendations in general. I'll always use it to find a mechanic or something similar.

Let's gooooooooo!! Congratulations mate. Top floor means less bugs but warmer temperatures, especially in the summer. Personally I said fuck them bugs get me to the top.
