  1. Phillip Agnew brilliantly puts the distinction between true stage green and stage orange merely adopting green values to further its own agenda (the "what" and the "why"):
  2. It's in many ways a stage yellow project. I'm not familiar with the history of wikipedia, but it's a fascinating thing
  3. Differentiating between stages, states and lines is useful in this case. You won't suddenly know about democracy and civil rights if you're born in say Sudan no matter how spiritually gifted you are. You may be more inclined to accepting those ideas once you're exposed to them, but you're still stuck with the survival tools of your immediate society.
  4. This is a fault of stage blue thinking: dividing people into offenders and victims and focusing on the offenders. The law is supposed to protect the people, not punish them.
  5. Whatever you do, never ever stare directly into the sun, no matter how many spiritual youtubers tell you otherwise. Some of these people get permanent black spots in their visual field and interpret it as a sign of spiritual progression... Yes - really.
  6. "I'm the chosen one!" OMG that made me laugh so hard
  7. Essentially Christians making a deal with the devil, albeit unknowingly
  8. The survival strategies of a society arise as a response to its unique survival situation. Personal development isn't a concept worth having when you're struggling to keep the wolves out of the farm. It's not your fault for growing up in any particular society, and it's not society's fault for not being evolved enough to suit your survival needs.
  9. "The relative/absolute fallacy": conflating the relative with the absolute. Most contradictions and confusion of terms in spirituality stem from this.
  10. You can slice your arm off and not even notice it.
  11. You don't literally kill yourself. You just give up on fighting death.
  12. If you master orange (get rich), you can use it to power your green^ values.
  13. Blue mistaking red for friends.
  14. She being naked isn't why you're offended. She breaking the social norms is why.
  15. Are you afraid of naked women?
  16. That's not a chainsaw, Cruz...
  17. Not sure if green or just weird. Eric Andre is a madman.
  18. Go to a nude beach. Spend time with nude people . Being nude in a public place goes against social norms, and that will obviously upset a lot of people, both emotionally and morally (which is the point). It's an effective way to provoke people and show that you're not willing to conform with the system. It also doesn't harm anybody
  19. From an absolute perspective, everything is an illusion, but from a relative perspective, politics is still important for survival.
  20. I see you were inspired by Michael Brooks' extensive knowledge of policy. The dude was a walking library. He really opened my eyes on how little I know about the world of politics, especially internationally. This thread is a good contribution to his mission.
  21. It looked like somebody had copypasted your video about libertarianism
