  1. There is no one to date because the you that dates is gone
  2. Suspiciously aggressive move for a defensive alliance to go for the "claim-fact" format
  3. An adult is not a liability but a resource.
  4. A lot of the danger lies in misconceptions which are often based on a superficial understanding (about specific labels and labels in general). Working with a psychologist hands-on is one of the best ways to clarify those misconceptions, but not everybody has that privilege, so they have to be more cautious.
  5. I think there is a danger of giving up your desire to understand by capitulating to a label.
  6. Even better advice is don't try to make smart forum comments when you have COVID (yeah, I actually got it). Hahaha brilliant conversation. Complete disconnect but still good faith
  7. How bad?
  8. If you listen to some people's experiences, it's hard to believe that it isn't a thing. 20:58 Jan Esmann talks about his moment of self-realization and discovering his past lives.
  9. Stage Green vs Stage Orange scrambled eggs
  10. I read fast though
  11. Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. I've had problems formulating my thoughts on this for a while, so I decided to wait for an authentic moment of inspiration. Ironically, I ended up writing this as I was coming up on what is most likely a COVID infection . I guess my immune system activating was the final missing piece that enabled me to tap into the core of my message .
  12. There is another thread where I expanded on the points in this thread, and your comment reminded me of this:
  13. I know, I know, I haven't read the Spiral Dynamics book , but for the people who have, how exactly did Beck & Cowan address these points? (I know they did, but I can't find anything on it): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graves's_emergent_cyclical_levels_of_existence#Criticism This is not a critique of Graves in particular. Most empirical research in Western psychology has a "WEIRD" bias: https://www.apa.org/monitor/2010/05/weird The extent of the problems caused by WEIRD bias depends on what is being studied, but for Spiral Dynamics in particular, which delves into cross-cultural analysis, the bias is more concerning. For example, how well does SD apply to somebody in China? What about cross-cultural persons, especially Third culture kids (TCK), i.e. growing up as a child in two or more different countries? What if cognitive development is a bit more orthogonal to specific value systems than SD likes to portray (especially in the case of Blue and Orange), maybe as a result of WEIRD bias? For example, it seems unfair to label a cross-cultural Muslim scholar pursuing a doctorate in philosophy at a Western university as "underdeveloped" for having more traditionalist values than a comparable American.
  14. Namecalling and disrespectful attitude is against the guidelines. https://www.actualized.org/forum/guidelines/
  15. What is the difference?
  16. Why do you say this?
  17. Then the creations in existence are uncreated as well.
