From this day forth, I will no longer care about politics! I've come to the conclusion that for an average Joe as myself, caring about politics is detrimental to my personal development, peace of mind and my mental health. The political epistemic ecosystem is rotten to the core and the zone has been flooded with so much shit by all political, parties, from the all sides of politics, that it is simply impossible to arrive at a clear picture about how things really stand. I shall focus more on my personal development, I have only so much free time in a day, I can't use all my free time contemplating politics. I will still engage in my civic right of voting, but I will no longer spend countless hours ruminating about politics. When I will go to vote I will vote for the highest integrity, highest honesty, highest construct aware, highest spiral dynamics and ego development stage among all political parties and among all individual candidates. I must focus on myself, 2025 politics is the equivalent of a septic tank. I will no longer engage in such low consciousness mental activities.

You don't understand, I loved the indoctrination, I went to church and prayed on my own volition, no one forced me for 20 years to do that, and my hooligan friends did the same, I was only indoctrinated and forced into it just in early childhood, after that I was religious because I wanted to be, not because someone threatened me with punishment, that happened only up until 10 years old. Being religious and stage red is not something that contradicts itself, look at Russia, Iran and the middle east, religion doesn't equate with stage blue. Here everyone goes to church and I was a staunch religious person. Up until I realized how backward and evil the whole thing is, that religion is only a tool used to enhance survival. Without religion you can't even find work here, let alone start a business, here to start a business you would need to be the most religious person in the village so that the priests send other Christians to your business as customers, without that no one would buy anything from you, without religion you'd have 0 clients, no matter how good your products are, if you are not religious the priests will demonize you and tell to the whole community that you are an agent of the devil and what your business produces is the work of the devil. Also the most religious persons I met beat the shit out of their children in order to force them to memorize the bible, they beat their children like the gypsys beat their horses if they catch their children masturbating or watching porn. The whole thing has nothing to do with spirituality, religion is the anti-thesis of spirituality. Regarding spiral dynamics indoctrination, if that would be the case I'd be now Einstein, I've learned tremendously from spiral dynamics by just dedicating like 70 hours per total to it, yet I was left in backwardness and mental retardation after 20 years of organized religion.

USA under Donald Trump is akin to Putin's Russia. USA under Trump is equally as bad as Putin's Russia. And you are just a propaganda vehicle for the dictatorial world. More pedophilia happens in dictatorships than in the free world because in the free world pedophilia is exposed by the media, in a dictatorship you don't even know of how much pedophilia happens because there is no press besides state sponsored propaganda. You don't trust the western media but you trust the media of those who rape and capture children in Ukraine. This goes to show how big of a fool you really are.

Bullshit and pro-russian analysis as always from you zazen. This is when I finally caught you with your pants down. You have exposed yourself what you truly are, a Chinese/Russian/Iranian propaganda vehicle. 1. The west was not imperialist in Ukraine and did not seek to use Ukraine as a springboard for future Russian aggression, this is just bullshit. Russia has stationed nukes in Belarus, 5 minutes away from Warsaw and Berlin where the fuck has the EU stationed nukes near Moscow? Where???? The nearest nukes to Moscow are in Britain, France and Turkey, how far away are these from Moscow and how far are the nukes in Belarus from the EU? How wanting to restore the USSR's spehere of influence with tanks is not imperialism and just self defence acting against "western imperialism" and when the west want to integrate Ukraine into the democratic world is imperialism? Ukraine itself wanted away from Russia, and the west wanted to expand its sphere of influence. And rightly so! Who gives license to Putin to enslave in utter poverty and backwardness and terror and total dictatorship millions of people? "Defending from western imperialism" is cheap propaganda that only fools buy. If we agree that both Venezuela and Ukraine can choose their alliances freely without war, then you can't come here to tell us that Russia is allowed to wage war because of "security" while you condemn the US for Imperialism. You either condemn both Russian/Chinese and US imperialism or you shut up. You don't want a multipolar world as you always say, you want a world where the west is defeated totally by the side that tortures its own citizens.

Doing nothing is suicide too, because the west will surely do the same to him if they ever got the chance. So he is a cornered animal. Cornered animals are very lethal. Russia has at least 30 million men that can be mobilised to fight, the war in Ukraine only sacrificed people from Siberia and rapists from prisons, if the Russian propaganda apparatus paints this as the west trying to annihilate the motherland as Hitler did, trust me, the Russians will be in Berlin by the end of the year.

Isn't this what the west has done since ww2?

Putin will now unleash hell over Europe now. Putin knows that if he doesn't reach the old frontiers of the USSR, if he doesn't have buffer states all the way to Germany, the west will try to do to him the same way they did today with Maduro. Watch Putin now, he will have all the reasons to invade the west. Putin's propaganda aparatus will have ammo to paint the whole west as this resource hungry thief.

This is wrong on so many levels. You have just validated Putin's whole worldview with that statement. If Ukraine wants to be in the west then Venezuela can be in Brics. USA has no business invading a country just because China is an expansionist power that wants to have influence in the US's neighborhood. The west is an expansionist power too, there is no universal law that allows only the west to expand. As I said again, if Ukriane which is Russia's neighbourhood is allowed to go west, then America's neighborhood is allowed to go BRICS. This war is Putin's biggest new year gift. All bets are off now.

This is in some ways 10 times more worse than Iraq. This war will give free lincense to both China and Russia and to many other countries to invade all their neighbours. After this invasion, probably the EU will break apart beacuse Russian propaganda will have so much ammunition to spread in eastern Europe, painting the west as a resource thief that steals other's countries resources via "democracy". Russia will have no qualms invading the baltics now and China surely will invade Taiwan.

@Twentyfirst 2 things can be true at once, That USA is a devil and that Venezuela is an opressive horrible dictatorship. That doesn't give license to the west to invade Venezuela, and this doesn't give license to China and Russia to support with all their might an oppressive dictatorship just because that dictatorship is anti American. Yo dude, how about you go live in a total dictatorship? Until then you have no business making fun of "liberals".

In case of spiral dynamics you can't miss a step. There is no way for a human to evolve into orange without first moving through blue. Each huamn is born in a culture of a certain stage. Not everyone starts at the same stage. I started my life in a red/blue household, my friends started their life in almost totally red households, thats why even though we all were fundamentalist christians, my grandparents that raised me were staunchly against theft and drugs and thats why I didn't engage in purely red activities. Some people in Afghanistan start life at purple. In order for them to reach green they will need to master the survival world of dog eat dog of red, to be tammed by the religion and order and morality of blue, to drop their religion while keeping the morality and becoming more left brained in orange, and then to become more calm, loving and accepting in green. You can't jump from blue to green even if you wanted to, you can't, you will demonize green with a passion, you need to first drop your demonizations in orange to then embracing the wokeness of green.

Actually I believe that stages are superior to other stages literraly. By superior I mean more evolved and actually better on any metric. Green is better than Orange on every metric and Orange is better than blue on every metric and blue is better than red on every metric. If some stages aren't better than others, Imagine you get to choose your parents before you were born, would you like to be born to stage blue evangelical parents that will indoctrinate you with backward bullshit since day 1 or would you like to be born to scientist parents? To me the choice is a no brainer. Nazi Germany(red) is a worse state than 2025 Poland(blue) and Poland is a worse state than 2025 Germany(Orange/green) and 2025 Germany is a worse state than 2025 Norway/Finland/Sweeden( Green/Yellow). Of course if you are a stage blue thief you would consider Scandinavia hell, but if you are a highly developed person you would see Scandinavia as a little place of heaven on earth.

This is bullshit on so many levels. I was born a orthodox Christian and all those friends were also Christians. I attended church 20 years straight every time church attendance was required, I was indoctrinated into that shit since I could barely speak as an infant, those hooligan friends of mine were the same. Christianity is what causes devils, what creates the kind of evil that lead to the death of these former friends. The moment I realized how vile these Christians are, that was the moment I dropped religion forever. I abhor religion and Christianity with a passion. If devil exists he was in fact the one who created Christianity. Precisely the idoctrination and the bacwardness of religion is what causes people to become devils.

The reason I alluded to conspiracies about jews is because only republican conservatives are the ones that always attack intellectuals and "progressive globalist" ideas, plus your Musk profile pic, Musk that is the n.o 1 warrior against "wokeness". I assumed that you operate under the "skeptical debunker" conservative paradigm that seeks to challange and push back against liberal intellectualism that is represented by models such as spiral dynamics. Questioning everything is good and a core tenet of development, that is something very good, I was just very pissed personally when I saw this post because I smelled in it right wing conservative rhetoric, which I deeply abhor. It is an issue with me getting triggered. I can't stand anything that even remotely smells republican. It is a problem with me, not with you. I project my biases when I write.

1. Spiral dynamics litteraly saved my life. When I was a teen I had a lot of friends that were doing illegal stuff, sold drugs and did a lot of illegal hustling! I never engaged with them in these illegal activities but I did hang out a lot with them because these were the only people that were of my age and I had no one else to hang out with. Then Leo published his series on spiral dynamics and after listening to it all I realized that my friends were all at stage red. Consequently I dropped all the friendship and I never hung out with them ever again. 2 years ago 2 of my former friends died in a car crash because they drove while being drunk and under the influence of heavy drugs like heroin or cocaine. Had I not cut ties with all of them I would have been dead too since I always was on board of that car with them when we were friends, they drove the car while being drunk or high even when I was friends with them and I was in that vehicle with them. Had I not realized thanks of spiral dynamics of their dangerous level of development I would have shared their fate. 2. Spiral dynamics is the most truthful model there is. Red is worse than blue because red will kill you for an unpaid debt, blue will torture you if you are gay or atheist, orange will steal all your money via a crypto scheme, green will cancel you for being mysoginistic, yellow will ignore you all together instead yellow will spend time contemplating the nature of the universe, and turquoise will accept everything as it is. If you can't understand why blue is worse than orange or why red is worse than blue, then have fun creating your own system. Your post is pissing me on so many levels. For the first time in like forever we as a species have a model that accurately maps out different stages of development yet you think that this is some kind of jewish plot that the globalist cabals have created to paint the one true saviour "donald trump" as evil and underdeveloped. May aswell be skeptical about the invention of the flashlight, maybe the globalists have invented the flashlight in order to fool us that we can see in the dark, when in fact the flash light is the work of the "jews".

All of the Tates underlings are huge fans of Robert Greene and his 48 laws of power. A underling guy called Joe Lampton that bragged that he only read in his life Sun Tzu Art of War and Robert Greene 48 laws of power. @Unlimited will for sure confirm this

I have read all his books. A new Earth is on par with the power of now. A new earth is basically the part 2 of the power of now. You need to read first the power of now and second a new earth, those books changed my life forever.

@Leo Gura The first thing I did afer buying your booklist was to search for Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now. The power of now is the first book I have read in my adult life. It is the book that made me take your teachings about spirituality seriously. Prior reading that book I always skiped your videos that talked about spirituality and only consumed stage orange practical videos from you. Tolle's books had such an unparalleled impact on me. I think that I'm going to re-read the power of now because of this thread

I've realised that the US is as big of a pig as Russia! Why on earth the US is now trying to steal the oil of the powerless Venezuela? This makes me wanna throw up. Doesn't the US have endless money? Can't they buy the damn oil fairy? I've never would have thought that I would start to buy into Russian narratives. This means that the filthy westerners have also done that in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and eastern Europe after the collapse of the communist regime. I've never would have thought that I would buy into Russian narratives, but what the US is doing now in Venezuela makes me sick.

Hahaha, Romanian starter pack!

Shaking the champagne and then popping the lid open into the ceiling of the room while spilling champagne all over the room. That has to be one of the best examples of conformity.

Thanks a lot! I asked mainly because I was confused whether the lower vs higher perspectives video was in fact the video about assessing human character hence in that video you analyze and compare lower vs higher perspectives and I thought that video could also translate to assessing lower vs higher human character. Honestly, after watching hundreds of hours of your videos I already know how to assess human character, I connected all the dots from your videos and blog posts, honestly watching your 24 hours long spiral dynamics series coupled with the 10 hour long ego development videos are a pretty good fundation for me to identify bad vs good character. Because I followed your work for so long, I can assess someones character just by talking to that person for a few minutes. For me, the biggest red flag that someone has bad and dangerous character is if he is telling me conspiracy theories about Soros, about the globalists and about how the jews run the world. The moment I hear someone say such things I know that I should run to the hills away from that person and never conduct any kind of business or personal friendship with that person ever again. You never directly thought me that, but I connected so many dots from your work in my head that that is a conclusion I arrived at via my own sense making. I am very eager to see the video where you teach how to assess human character. That will be my favourite video of all time for sure.

@Leo Gura Hi Leo! I was rewatching your video about Andrew Tate, at one point your promised that in the future you will do a video where you explain how to assess human character, how to assess whether someone has good character or bad/dangerous character, you went on saying that if oneself is unable to assess character one may have their life destroyed by low integrity/sociopathic characters. If you ever do that video, that video will be my favourite video of all time. Or maybe you already done that video, is it how to distinguish between lower vs higher perspectives?

@Leo Gura Leo don't listen to the ungrateful, your videos are perfect, for me personally the longer the video the more glued to the screen I am. Your work is unparalleled, underpaid and groosly under-appreciated. I love listening to you, you are my favorite person from the internet to listen to.

All the leftists on this forum: " But thats western imperialist propaganda", "The sanctions that the capitalists have imposed on Cuba are responsible for the poverty", "Socialism would work if the western corrupt imperialists wouldn't sanction to rubbles all socialist regimes". " the Western imperialism and collonialism that the west has done for the last millennium is responsible for the success of capitalism" To all the leftists on this forum, please, stop parroting old soviet propaganda. All you have in your heads is the word "imperialism". Thats leftism and socialism in a nutshell, always scapegoating and blaming the "West" for all your dirt poor systems of governance.
