  1. I was thinking about whether or not you should guide your children in how to live. It seems to be a tricky balancing act as they could just completely do the opposite of what you tell them and as we know the best way of learning is through making mistakes yourself and evolving through seeing the limits of your current stage of consciousness. Theres also the problem of totalitarianism, moralising and preaching which is important to avoid. With that been said it seems just leaving them to their own devices seems to be unwise too as they will end up falling into so many traps so the question is how to navigate this tricky terrain? 


  2. When I say came online i mean the mass culture started to be at this stage. Yes this is what i'm torn between as the website shows it originated around 400BC with Plato and Socrates. But the scientific revolution, age of enlightenment and industrial revolution were around the 1700s so it seems the greek philosophers were just a fringe case and actually stage orange didn't come online until the 1700s


  3. I was listening to the daily evolver podcast today with Jeff Salzmon and he was saying rationality has only been online in the west for 200 years. Before that we were pre-rational without logic, science and reason and therefore couldn't think about things in a critical way (just conformed with the crowd in a very blue way). However didnt the Greeks invent logic and rationality? So surely rationality was online pre the industrial era. It would be nice to use spiral dynamics more to tie it in with history I feel this would make it more rounded. If anyone has some resources for this I would appreciate it.

    It doesn't seem to me like you have the complete freedom you're talking about.

    How would you know that? Actually I can see your point of view I am just providing an alternative. Plus I never said I embodied it we were talking about what is possible.
