The inside and outside are two sides of the same coin

Yep. Reducing difference to mere difference. Which is true.

That's Beck's assumption (I presume, referencing an article that excerpted a keynote speech by Whole Foods Market CEO John Mackey who gave an overview of SD while applying it the food industry and global agricultural system). But it makes sense that it would increase your power on average, as with IQ or anything else powerful. But maybe it's a more complicated picture. Well, we're really just talking about getting friends and getting your ideas rolled out in some tangible format. It doesn't necessarily require to become a billionaire or anything. You can be heavily "strategic" about it, as the Yellow stage suggests.

All models reduce differences, even your man Delulu's.

Yes. That is the distinction I'm talking about. On the one hand, you have those who learn about Spiral Dynamics, start talking the language, start thinking about the concepts that they may or may not have a firm grasp on, and then they become sort of an authority on Tier 2 and by sort of a mental osmosis seemingly turn Tier 2 essentially over night in developmental terms. Then you have those that do things in the world, encounter challenges, try to align their actions with their values, build things, create things, solve problems, and through that process, they find themselves drawing upon these principles, find themselves attracting these kinds of people, creating these types of environments and places that seem Tier 2. It comes from within, and it's expressed on the outside, in their actions, in their being.

Tier 2 could expressed purely mentally, could be more flexible with what environment they live in, etc. That's one side of the equation. The other side is that as humans and as organisms, we like to do things that are in accordance with our capabilities and values, we like to be with people who are like us, we like to create environments that support us and where we feel like we belong. And as development increases, power and general capability increases. And as development takes decades, you have a lot of time to make a change. If you truly understand "systems", you will put it into practice somehow, and at some point, it becomes hard to not cause a change. The inside will bleed to the outside somehow.

Tier 2 friends, community, network, business, career, creative work. It's not a prerequisite, just like you can live on a farm with a bunch of Blue-ies, not own a car, not own your own place, not produce any products, services, art, literature or anything tangible that have to do with Orange; essentially be an Amish; and be Orange, but that's sure as hell not even in the single digit percentages of what you would expect.

"Tier 2"-oriented life purpose with real tangible results, not just plans, ideas, dreams. Friends, community, network. Business, career, creative work. Do you at least look even slightly like those "Tier 2 talking heads" people always piss their pants about in intellectual arousal? Developing a stage takes decades — your life should track that development. Not living your potential is a sin and spiritual and moral self-harm.

We have more traps in storage, they come in a revolving circuit based on the season 🤠🫡 Arguably one of the biggest traps is thinking you are a king when you are a loser (I'm not calling anybody a loser, ok?). Look at what the lunatic is doing in the oval office playing basketball with the international economy. "I have the biggest trap, you would not believe it. Nobody has a bigger trap than me". Then second to that is thinking you are a loser, will always be a loser, will never be a king. Then third is getting trapped by the word "trap". The fourth is trap music of course.

Which is why we gotta be frank about where they're at 😝

What are you doing with your time on a day to day basis may I ask?

Most people don't integrate it and instead parrot some words. They say things like "I went from Orange to Yellow, skipping Green", they approach different problems with the same one-size-fits-all solution, they distill a problem down to one or a few key factors and that's it, they have a cartoon-like grasp of concepts. It doesn't track on real ground, only on word salad grounds: "relativity", "perspective", "meta".

At some point, you have to accept what you do not know and move within the known. Or else you're just moving in circles.

Creating scripts in R and MATLAB 🫠

No. I have watched a lot of his videos and gotten many benefits from that.

Trying to get the snake to rise 😈😏

You can get an arousal of kundalini, which can pull you in the right direction and can for example help your meditation and make you experience some bliss, but it's not the same as a kundalini awakening. A kundalini awakening is an intensely physical experience; you're quite literally being penetrated by an object.

I thought you were talking about something that happened at work 😂

No, what is "power"?

What is power? Not resource-abundant enough.

I think Game B will become more likely and "bottom-up" if we get a non-turbulent launch into Ray Kursweil levels of AI. It's too unstable if there is resource scarcity in any part of the system. If there is severe enough resource scarcity, that's when countries collapse, tribes collapse, families collapse. Higher levels of unity require higher levels of resources.

"Why I'm quitting water"

So porn is not harmful then, only when taken to the extreme?

Here is a challenge: find me a high perspective that you dislike.

So why is real sex not harmful and not supposedly leading to brain damage?
