Is America Evolving into Stage Green?

22 posts in this topic

My general assessment is that yes, the U.S. is moving into Stage Green, but it's going through a VERY messy ego backlash in the process. 

I think a lot of the MAHA stuff is a good example of this. Yes it's Green but because it lacks the healthy foundation of Orange scientific reasoning, it's not a solid and sustainable form of Green. 

Similarly, I think we saw something in the pre-WW2 era before Orange became the center of gravity for the U.S. Eugenics is Orange but it's a pretty corrupt version of Orange because yes, it takes the scientific reasoning of evolution, but it also incorporates a lot of stage Blue pseudoscience that is rooted in things like racial superiority. Eugenics is a corrupt form of Orange in the same way that the holistic/ crunchy / woo woo kind of MAHA health is a corrupt form of Green. 

I wrote about this along with other examples of how this ego backlash is manifesting in a journal entry a while back if you're interested in checking it out:

Many people may adopt green ideas when they aren't really ready for or barely at stage green themselves, such that they take those notions and act them toxically, from their real stage which is orange or blue. Some do really get their center of gravity to Green but they are still a significant minority in the western world. We can say I think that half of the westerners are 50% orange 50% green at most.


🏔 Spiral dynamics can be limited, or it can be unlimited if one's development is constantly reflected in its interpretation.
