This song is so wicked and EVIL <3. Man I missed listening to rock and metal. I feel like an 18 year old again.

Hi @Leo Gura! I just bought your book list. I wanted to buy it since 2019 but for some reason I never had enough money to buy it. Now that I've bought it I'm so happy! Literally I'm the happiest I've ever been. I never been so happy not even when I proposed to my fiancee. I'm like a child in front of the Christmas tree. This means a lot to me because I finally could repay a small token of appreciation for saving my life. Had I not learned spiral dynamics from you, had I not ditched the stage red friends I had from elementary school, I'd have been dead with them in 2022 when they drove while drunk and hit a bridgehead and died. I owe you that. Without you, I wouldn't have ever heard about spiral dynamics. I wouldn't have realized that the friends I was hanging out were at the most dangerous stage of development (RED), and I'd have still hung out with them and I would have died with them. I can't wait to embark on this life long journey of reading. I jumped straight to the politics & government section. I am really lost when it comes to politics and I am sure that by reading the books you are recommending on your book list I will get a lot of clarity. Can't wait to also buy the life purpose course. Thanks a lot. Your work is unparalleled!

I thought we have a guideline that clearly states that the users of this forum shall not write posts while drunk, high on french cocaine or under psychedelic influence. Here it is: No wild-eyed ranting and raving, or posting while drunk or high.

When you span 11 time zones, when you have a history of 500 years of imperialism, don't get surprised if smaller countries ally themselves together to not become your vassal.

This is jaw dropping analysis, but jaw dropping for the wrong reasons. It was Russia who groped Ukraine's ass since Ukraine emerged as a separate entity from Russia. It was Russia who meddled in Ukraine's internal affairs since 1991. It was Russia who violated every written agreement with Ukraine. Russia groped Ukraine's ass, touched its private parts non stop. But when finally Ukraine had begun befriending the west to protect her from the abusive behaviour of Russia, Russia decided to cut Ukraine's ass with a chainsaw. To send her a message that Russia does to Ukraine whatever Russia wants. Russia was the surprised one because Russia expected that she can violate Ukrainian sovereignty forever. No one likes bullies. Don't blame the police when it comes to defend someone who is being abused for centuries.

I believe the reason for inflation is the massive deficit spending and the massive public debt that the governments of the west have cultivated since the end of WW2. And because of the enormous public debt, it is in government's interest to artificially devalue the currency via overprinting, so that people have to produce more economic output to have the same lifestyle as few years ago, thus people pay more money in taxes, that money now going to repay little by little the public debt. That's my pre existing belief.

Thanks for the advice!

Thanks!@Twentyfirst I bookmarked your response. It is something I truly needed to read. The thing with me is that I am not lazy, but as soon as I can get the most basic survival stuff, my incentive to work extra is at 0. And the problem with me is that I need so little to be happy. All my clothes are from second hand stores, I always wear construction work clothes and boots. I focus all my free time on nerdy stuff such as contemplating various political subjects or reading. I get more happines by learning why inflation happens than if I earn 100€ extra. I don't care about material stuff. Only basic necessities

Finally an aswer that addresses my original question. Thanks for sharing @Vali2003

Lack of personal ambition? Probably.

@zazen come here. I want to hear you thoughts on this. Share your perspective.

Honestly, no. If I have food on my plate and air in my lungs, and a place to sleep? I'm the happiest in the world. I have very low requirements to be happy. I don't need much.

@Twentyfirst Win at what? I'm not fighting anybody. All I want is to have food in my fridge without spending the entire monthly wage I earn.

?

God is a centrist. A realist!

Anyone else? I started this thread to get some answers, please guys, I want a clarifying answer

@Alexop All I was pointing and I've gone above and beyond to emphasize is that wokeness, with its many flaws and problems, is still a lot more evolved and better than what was before wokeness. An autistic soyboy from Sweden is more of a man than an average eastern European. Remember, stage Green has toxic aspects as do all the other stages. Stage Blue has also more positive aspects than toxic ones, albeit the toxic ones are much more visible and damaging. Also to be at stage Green, you firstly had to integrate all the positives from blue and orange. And by all accounts Swedish men are extremely hard working, business orientated, and have also integrated the wokeness of stage green. Where they are right now is in the phase they go through all the negative aspects of stage green. But as I said, the problems of stage green are much more desirable than the problems of red or blue. The reason I described my villagers is because I've dealt with both stage green problems while in Germany, with stage Orange in the cities of Romania, and with stage Red and Blue in my home village. And stage Green problems that you described are child's play compared with the problems that come from stage Red/Blue. I have 0 friends here, I ditched all the friends I had from teenage time. But as soon as I go in Iasi or Dortmund, I instantly find friends out of strangers effortlessly. Actually personal development is easier in the country side, because here I refuse to have friends and all my free time is dedicated to reading, watching Leo's videos and if I wanted I could easily start a meditation practice. In the city the life is way to chaotic.

The reason I said that your argument is strawmanned and biased is because in my opinion is not true. Of course there are soyboys in Sweden, but so are here in Romania, although much less and they are being unnoticed because of how much noise the neanderthals from the villages make. But the men in their 30s and above in Sweden or Germany are well more developed career wise and family wise than Romanians. To see for yourself if that is true please respond to these questions: Would you buy an apartment built by Swedish men or by Romanian men? Would you buy furniture from IKEA built by the Swedes, or would you buy furniture designed in Romania? Would you buy Husqvarna chainsaw or would you buy a chainsaw sold by a Romanaian in a Bazaar? The way Romanians build houses and apartments is criminal, one big earthquake and all falls down. No safety, no respecting rules, no nothing. They only want to take your money. If you buy Furniture made in Romania it lasts you litteraly a week before it breaks down. I'm not exaggerating, that's really the case. Husqvarna is a Swedish business that operates since the 1600's. Romania has just discovered Capitalism. The quality and endurance of the products made by the Swedes is perfect. How the nordics work is unparalleled. Professionalism, rigour, discipline. Yet Romanaians can't even begin their working day without finishing first a bottle of booze. That's how I measure a man. Not by how much he beats his wife or by how loud he is. Bottom line of my argument is this: wokeness with all its soyboys and problems is 1000 times better that the backwardness and barbarism of Romania. As I said, mentality wise, Swedes are in 2025, while my villagers are in like 200BC in comparison with the Sweds.

Anyone? @Leo Gura What's your take on this?

This is too biased and too much of a strawman. You had me on the floor when you said Romania produces better men than Sweeden. Firstly the ancestors of those nordic pussies ruled fucking England for a century. They also founded the Kievan Rus. Basically the first Russian entity as a state. Romanian men aren't even a fraction of the men that are the nordics. There isn't a single week in a year without news that some Romanian man killed his wife or concubine. Romanian men are like in the year 200 BC compared to the nordic men. I lived 90% of my life in rural Romania and 10% in cities of Romania and West Germany. When I first arrived in Germany I had an existential crisis. I felt like a cow in the middle of a shopping mall. Myself being used with the barbarian ways of living from Romania I stood in awe at how nice and civil everyone was behaving. The German men I was working with always made me aware when I was beginning to behave like a barbarian. I got slapped by a german for throwing garbage from the window of the car that brought us to work. I was 19 at the time and that was custom practice in Romania. In Romania it was abnormal not to throw trash from the car's window. I also remember when some of my fellow villagers were arested by the polizei for yelling mid night on the street. My point that it is a disgrace to compare the creatures in Romania with the Swedish men. Compared to the Sweedish, the average Romanian man is yet to reach the status of man, they are animalistic creatures. The left should by all means be criticized, I do agree with all you said. But I was really irked by that comparison with the Romanians 🤣

Spot on. In Europe, leftism is just an political economic framework. What Leo means when he says leftist is actually stage Green. And Lenin was stage Red/Blue. One's views on the economy has nothing to do with being a liberal. Conservative vs liberal is actually stage Blue/Orange vs Stage Green.

Bro Europe might crumble just from the fact that our energy prices have quadrupled since 2022. Our citizens want to elect Russia Friendly dictators just because life is a hell of a lot more expensive since 2022. Imagine if a single missile hits a major European city! Nation wide protests would erupt to force the current goverment to resign and to have a Putin friendly government. After all, Nato missiles and drones strike the population of Russia already. Why would Putin allow his citizens to suffer without making the west suffer as well? You talk about Ukraine, the Ukrainian armed forces are the most elite and powerful military to date. The Ukrainian armed forces are the best military in the world right now. The west is pussified, literally no citizen in the west would die for his nation. That's the biggest weakness of the West. This gives Putin enormous leverage. Also, do you realize that the Ukraine war is basically the whole of Nato supporting Ukraine against Russia? It is basically NATO vs Russia localized only with Ukrainian lives that perish while the west sleeps peacefully. The west has put all its eggs in Ukraine's basket, and if Ukraine falls, the West will crumble.

I'll make a bold prediction now. After contemplating Trump, Putin, and current events in Europe, I predict that within the next 12 months, Putin will engage in direct military conflict with the West. He will exploit the chaos of the Trump presidency to launch a full-scale war with Europe. I believe that if Putin waits past 2028, he will face a Western world led by Gavin Newsom. A West led by a competent leader like Newsom would mean the window for attacking the West has closed. Europe is currently unprepared for war. I predict that if missiles and drones strike&swarm London, Berlin, Bucharest, Warsaw, Helsinki, Stockholm, Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius, Europe will collapse almost instantly. Putin would have conquered Europe without a single Russian soldier stepping foot into NATO territory. Putin likely bets that Europe's population will stage massive protests to avoid further provoking Russia, seeking peace at all costs and accepting all of Putin's conditions, such as ceding former Warsaw Pact countries to his sphere of influence. He will also wager that the incompetence and corruption of the Trump administration will cause the West to crumble like a house of cards. In fact, Hitler's theory about the Soviet Union being a paper tiger—that a single kick would collapse the entire structure—aptly describes the West today. If Putin takes a real swing at the West and delivers a powerful blow to the West's door, the entire Western structure will likely collapse. It’s not Ukraine that would have collapsed in two weeks; it’s the West that will collapse in two weeks if Putin attacks while Trump leads the West.

This song... I love it more than life! Literally angelic. Resplendent.. Otherworldly. I've done things I'm not proud of... But for this, I get in trouble... Baby my sins, are all because for you Strong light Gin, the way I burn for you! <3
