A stage orange person would most likely be able to ape himself up to a yellow if the questions are comparable in depth to a political compass test. It would have to be a very thorough and grueling test, and that is not going to happen.

Transcript from an interview with Varg Vikernes, a prominent figure from the 90s Norwegian Black Metal scene. He was convicted of murder (he alleges he got attacked before he stabbed the guy 20 times in the back) and multiple church arsons: (it's in Norwegian). "I regret something I didn't do. I regret not killing the guy who went with me to Oslo, because if I killed him, I wouldn't have been convicted. He was talking so much shit in that courtcase and he totally screwed up - he got 8 years for not having actually done anything, and that is pretty insane. I gotta say I regret not killing him too." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "What do I have to feel remorse for? Should I feel remorse for that I survived? I've gotten that question before. It's a typical Christian thing. Remorse - why should you have remorse? I'm not that stupid that I would do something that I would feel remorse for in the first place, and that is totally unheard of by Christians, because they're basically stupid, and it's Christianity that makes them stupid. Remorse is weakness. It means you've done something you don't stand for. I've never in my life done something I don't stand for. Never. I may have not done something I wanted to do (I didn't kill that guy), but I've never done something I don't stand for. I was actually kind that I spared his life, and I lost because of that. So what I learned from that is that you shouldn't be kind - you should kill them. That's how you win." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interviewer: "Varg Vikernes, are you a Satanist?" Varg Vikernes: "No. I'm Norwegian." Interviewer: "What do you mean?" Varg Vikernes: "It should be self-evident, but if you look at history: "what is Norwegianness?". Norwegianness is strength. It's to be tall, have blue eyes, and blond hair. It's to be pagan, to be proud of what you stand for, to not back away, to not be humble. In short, it's paganism. That is Norwegianness. There is nothing that is Norwegian but paganism. Interviewer: "Many people have been saying you've been acting quite arrogant, and you didn't deviate one bit in the courtcase." Varg Vikernes: "I'll first say that modesty is a Christian value. To be modest, submissive, humble, fake - all of this is Christian, Judeo-Christian. Everybody who knows about Nordic mytology: were the vikings arrogant? Yes. Were they proud? Yes. Did they deviate? No. That is how Norwegians are supposed to be. I don't feel like I'm better than other Norwegians. It's Norwegianness, and I'm proud of that. The reason I've come off as arrogant - I'm clearly arrogant - I've always been arrogant. If that is negative or positive is for other people to decide. I look at history: what were my ancestors like? I have something to be proud of, and that is my ancestors. I'm proud of my ancestors - incredibly proud of my ancestors. I will absolutely continue the strength and mentality they had, as something Norwegian, as something colorful in an otherwise grey world. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Today, they will never be able to exterminate paganism, because they're not killing us. We're bound to win, because we're killing them."

That might be true, but maybe the other way around.

They might not be completely congruent, but they're still somewhat meaningfully interdependent. The lasting states of openmindedness that you acquire from awakening experiences can make you more prone to some aspects of SD development, but of course it works more like a chemical catalyst to pre-existing chemical reactions. SD is about adding new types and larger quantities of chemicals. Spiritual work primarily upgrades the computer hardware (makes it run smoother), while SD development upgrades the software (adding new types of content).

That was the point. Blue morality is utilitarian relative to red. -

I could image a future MMORPG where the creators are well-versed in SD.

The personal development offered here is a holistic process. Conscious politics is a part of it. -

That is red in a nutshell and why the cops pull the gun in the first place.

Whatever you choose to label your experience, in the end it's all just experience. -

It's inevitable and would only prove my point . But yeah, I understand the sentiment. -

I just answered what was in the quote. I didn't even know he was a Trump supporter. Whether he identifies with my characterization of the common trump supporter is up to him. -

Those are not mutually exclusive. I gave a pretty straight forward answer -

Nixon was pretty bad, but what came after wasn't too good either. Tier 2 would still be far away. -

They usually burn themselves out and self-detonate pretty quickly according to what I've seen here. Bright stars burn the quickest . It's not rare that they'll post a farewell topic and a little manifesto while calling out everything they hate. Interesting how the prospect of martyrdom is so captivating for a stage blue person
