  1. Oh well, I have around 1600 posts and I barely even trust myself, so there goes that... The reason I posted the link to the site is because I wanted to be somewhat clear that it's only according to that site. You can't really probe my level of trust/certainty when I didn't write anything else. When I say that I doubt MBTI, I mean that I keep seeing more of its limitations.
  2. TheAmazingAtheist used to be a libertarian many years ago and now he is pretty darn green. Here is my theory: Teens tend to gravitate towards the freeing aspects of Green because they're actually trying to find ways to express their Stage Red impulses. Green reacts to the limiting structures and conformities of previous stages, and this dissolving of hierachy, rules and structure is readily co-opted by immature teenagers who naturally inhabit a lot of Red. I remember seeing this in myself a couple of years ago back when I got into what I call "hedonistic feel-good spirituality". I got seduced by the saying "live in the now" and was taking it way too literally and using it to hide from my responsibilities, because I was actually coming at it from a pre-Blue standpoint by not having integrated true structure and discipline in my life. It's not truly "mature Green" unless you recognize the positive aspects of Blue. I straight out rejected all of it. You tend to see this form of redish-green spirituality/ideology very much in people who start smoking weed in their early teens, and I was a part of that scene for a couple of years and have a lot of experiences within that sort of culture (externally) and state of mind (internally). So based on my theory, what that saying is refering to with "on the left" is actually just the natural teenage propensity towards pre-convential/impulsive stages of development (pre-Blue), expressed within a Green framework. It doesn't describe the development from Green to Orange but instead it's the development from Red to Blue.
  3. That is the problem. You cant negotiate with Red. Other than providing good living conditions and education, you have very few options to make Red disappear.
  4. Stage Red is unfortunately a stage that just has to exhaust itself by itself, and as a result of that exhaustion fall into Blue. The concept of "dealing with something" in a "healthy way" is not a concern that is developed before Blue, and Red will not recognize it as a valid concern at all (unless it can be co-opted by their own interests). Red doesn't deal with consequences; it deals with actions.
  5. I'll refrain from judging other people's interpretation of SD in here, but the "I hope I will be remembered" thing is very striking and it reminds me about what the late Frank Zappa had to say about exactly that (0:00-0:38): Generally speaking, selflessness is an indicator of high spiral development.
  6. You should provide timestamps and concrete examples of what he says that is Yellow.
  7. I never explicitly said there is no agenda.

  9. I can't take competition seriously anymore. It's just play. I still smash the table when I lose in Fall Guys though.
  10. Everytime you have to mention the brain, you're in la-la land.
  11. You aren't. This is most likely getting locked for being low quality.
  12. This perfectly illustrates my point. When race is mentioned in western society, it most often is in the context of people of colour. White people are "just people". This is whiteness in a nutshell. Wow, look at that! Only one black person... ("black").
  13. Just because your search includes a word doesn't mean that word will be represented in an image in any particular way. You'll often get links to news articles, youtube videos, and social medias that mention that word, and the pictures are often heavily context dependent. In the case with "happy white woman", the race of a white person is often only mentioned in the context of another race also being mentioned (in this case, black), and therefore you should expect more images that include other races in that particular search. For example, many of those pictures are about a white woman being happily married with a black man. Try looking up just "white woman" and see how extremely loaded the contexts are. The different results are a reflection of how the search engines work differently. It's not necessarily a reflection of the intent of the engine creators.
  14. Show me a question that wasn't asked by a human.
