  1. She was actually in my music class in high school
  2. You can make anything look bad when putting it in a bullet point diagnostics format.
  3. This is so funny: there is a band called "Death" that has a song called "Nothing Is Everything". Hahahahahahaha
  4. @LaucherJunge Even though I do agree that he is primarily making fun of college students contradicting their own values, it's my understanding that he is also making fun of green values in general. I don't think his mission can be reduced to mere entertainment. You could maybe give me some examples that you think would convince me otherwise, but if he was truly a solid yellow, he wouldn't feel the need to ridicule green values in that fashion, or prey on the natural ignorance of young people. Granted, these people do have a strong voice and do influence their institutions to a certain degree, but like I said earlier, I think having these discussions in a more formal debate format is a more proper way to address these issues.
  5. Partially true. The most radical parts of any movement tends to devolve into absolutism and other blue qualities, and in the case of movements with primarily green values (social justice), they will sometimes contradict their own values. For certain SJWs, you could say that the way they "relate" to their core values has hints of blue, but if you look at the actual values themselves, there is very little blue about egalitarianism, diversity, sensitivity, tolerance, inclusion, cultural relativistism, and political correctness.
  6. I heavily recommend probing for emotional tensions and provoking emotional releases during meditation if you want fast results.
  7. It's a cool concept, but in this case, I just feel it's a cover for making fun of stage green college students as a point scoring exercise. That is really why he became sort of famous: for poking fun at "crazy SJWs". If he really wanted "an intellectually stimulating conversation", he could rather spend time setting up formal debates with actual debaters. I think what the streamer Destiny is doing on Twitch is a great example of how this can be done (he is also really interested in debating Crowder on several issues).
  8. @LaucherJunge Of course it won't go my way: that's just in the design. Either way, you can't convice a blue ideologue that he is a blue ideologue. That would infact make him yellow
  9. While what you said is correct, Steven Crowder is not yellow. He is a blue ideologue.
  10. @Villager Albert Steven Crowder is bluer than a smurf. He is essentially doing the political equivalent of street preaching under the guise of open conversation. You could argue that his way of initiating conversation somewhat resembles the openness of yellow (most likely a result of having to repeatedly de-escalate heated public conversation), but if you watch some more of his content, you can easily tell that the underlying motive is to preach a selected set of beliefs, namely stage blue/orange values. No yellow person would go "x is right - change my mind". It automatically sets the stage for motivated reasoning.
  11. Who exactly is the yellow one?
  12. He just recited a recycled definition of the Dunning-kruger effect. It's a staple of orange intellectual culture.
  13. It's a very small volume of material that is burning and it's not going to create a lot of smoke. You could easily remove it by opening a window or something. Also, why would you be worried about a "temporary smell"? You shouldn't do 5meo in a place where you feel insecure about doing it.
  14. Everything is imagined. The present is imagined, the past is imagined. Memory is just when you imagine something over again. There is also nothing wrong with ego, as long as you recognize that it's imaginary.
  15. He is an ideologue in my opinion. Not really a great thinker.
  16. Just because you get enlightened doesn't mean you will give up on survival. The stage red warlord has no alternative but to pillage if he doesn't have the cultural impetus to move to stage blue.
  17. @ivory I don't know if you misunderstood my point or not, but either way, my point was that you don't have to be personally negatively impacted by covid19 to think it's having a negative impact overall. People perceive this to be a negative thing, so they try to find the positive sides with it. It's just optimism, nothing wrong with that. It's just a suspicion of mine that you could just as easily make a just as extensive list of points for why this crisis will NOT lead to a green revolution and rather a stagnation. I think it's helpful to look at the pessimistic side aswell as the optimistic side and integrate the two perspectives.
  18. @ivory I feel all this hope about green is just the human impulse of trying to see the positives in a dire situation.
  19. I'm of the belief that all forms of art are turquoise as they invoke the experience of the wonder of God. The conceptual content or the message behind the art is merely peripheral to the experience of art.
  20. I remember watching this debate many years ago when I was an edgy teenage atheist, and of course Sam Harris was my idol, and I thought he absolutely destroyed William Lane Craig in the debate. Looking back at it now, it's actually hilarious how wrong I was. Firstly, during the second round, Harris completely abandoned the debate topic and went full activist mode: just bringing up the most edgy points to put religion in a bad light. Secondly, he used his philosophy of well-being to present many of his points in the first round, and Craig actually gave very strong points against it, but of course Harris never addressed those points. This should be a collective embarrasment for atheists: the fact that Craig actually wanted to engage Harris' points in a formal debate format, but Harris just totally derailed it into an activist shouting match. I just felt like sharing this here, because I find it quite interesting how blindly I was following the atheistic doctrine. Maybe some people in here have the same experience.
  21. If you were to ask one question in order to clarify if a person is in stage yellow or not, what question would you ask them?
  22. Well, after a while you kinda get familiar with the model, and also back then I didn't have spiritual experiences left and right. I still want to learn more, which is why I made this topic
