Sounds more like the god of monotheistic stage blue

Scale, intensity, and reasoning.

OSRS anyone?

That's a cage cat

I've been trying to make my friends more interested in green. I want them to reach yellow in their lifetimes.

Try unconditional love some time, my friend. It's much sweeter

Love is enough.

That is a redundant statement. It's like saying all squares are squares. You don't understand the "absoluteness" of relativity

Leo recommended this movie in his new video about stage red: I watched it just now. It's very good

Japan's handling of Covid-19 summarized in a 2 minute video

His eyes are legit scary

JP considers himself extremely extroverted, so I don't know about that one

That's theoretically possible, more so for red than any other stage, but what is the probability that only one person has developed a completely new stage and becomes the leader? Astronomically low. A new stage also evolves gradually over time, not just through a single generation, and by that time, the values have had time to spread throughout the society, especially on the scale of a single tribe. Yes, implementing values into society takes time, but I don't think it takes more time than evolving to a completely new stage. Those are two vastly different time scales. Evolution is generational, and politics is situational.

Ok, let's stick with purple. There was a time in history where purple tribal societies started started to turn into red tribal empires, and something must have caused that shift. How would you explain this evolution? More generally, how can the individuals of a society not somehow impact the structures of that society? Afterall, the society is just a collective of individuals.

@cobalto You shouldn't use substances like these for symptomatic relief. You're supposed to use them for dissolving the root causes of your issues.

The democratic process is one example. If the majority of the people are in favor of blue values, then they will vote for the blue candidate, and the society then becomes more blue.

What do you base this on? Personal experience?

If the consciousness of the people in the purple tribe started to consistently evolve past purple, then we would start to see that manifest itself in the structure of that society, wouldn't you agree? Your consciousness isn't a closed system. It's a part of a collective.

Well, that's where the differentiation between lines and states (different facets) and stages come in . You can have different facets of yourself in different stages (cognitive, spiritual, emotional, interpersonal, occupational, etc..) If we accept "consciousness" as its own facet without specifying it any further, then your "consciousness facet" would be above orange and your occupational facet would be orange (if a 9 to 5 life is considered orange). A society consists of individuals, and the stage of the society is generally the stage of the majority of the people in that society (unless you know about a specific facet of society that is prone to emergent phenomena and transcends that stage). A shaman might be predominantly purple, but he might have access to turquoise through trance states ("states" is also a type of facet).

Openness is not "equivalent" to intelligence, but they're strongly correlated. You ability to perform mental calculus is certainly involved with your ability to entertain different concepts in your mind. We're talking about the common conception of intelligence (atleast that is inferered when nothing else has been specified), which is roughly the western definition of intelligence (cognitive computational capacity). You can also define intelligence to mean God's infinite intelligence (which is essentially everything that exists), emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence etc..

Bruh, I get you point, but cmon. The church needs money, not God.

Stick to YouTube

Openmindedness describes the tendency towards entertaining a lot of different ideas from a diverse set of perspectives, and that of course correlates strongly with intelligence. If you're closeminded, you essentially put your mind in shackles, but that is also an important survival strategy. Being closeminded grounds you. It's like being a solid: it's stable state of matter, but not much happens. If you're openminded, you're like a gas: there is a lot of action, but it's chaotic. You want some balance where you're able to be dynamic without completely evaporating, like a liquid.

The finest piece of blue propaganda I think I've ever seen lol:
