How evolved is Joe Rogan and people like him?

But isn’t Green also openminded to diverse perspectives? For example, Green intellectuals.

Yes, in limited context. For example, Green is more open-minded with issues regarding moral relativism. For example, something considered morally wrong in the U.S. might be considered morally acceptable in another country. In general, Blue would be more closed-minded and desire objective universal morality. Green would generally be more comfortable and accepting of moral relativity among cultures.

However, Green has not gone the Full Monty on open-mindedness. Green is not open to the concept that their own perspective on moral relativity is relative. For example, Green may understand that gender identification is relative to one's own experience. Green is accepting of a person that has a penis and identifies as female, since that is their relative experience. Yet, Green believes this view is right and other views are wrong. Green will go to battle with Blue and demonize Blue over their opposing view. Green is not yet open-minded enough to see that their own perspective on this is relative. This level of open-mindedness and awareness comes at Yellow. I'd say it is somewhat difficult to understand cognitively, yet very difficult to embody. Once embodied, a whole new mode of being and experiencing reality opens.

@Serotoninluv gosh you moderators are so good at explaining things :') ahaha i just end up feeling my answers are half ass with out a deeper explanation as to whats actually going on! 

[Forestluv]

@Aakash Sometimes I am amazed at how well some forum users explain certain topics. Many users seem to be really good in certain areas such as life purpose, relationships, integrating mystical experiences, self inquiry, awakening etc.

Sometimes it's about stuff I don't know much about. For example, @Emerald will write a deeply integrative essay on gender dynamics in social systems. Other times, it's stuff I have direct experience with, yet I can't put it into words and I stumble around trying to explain it. Then I'll read a one-liner from @winterknight and I'm like "Yes, that's it! How did that dude explain it in five words!". Other times, it's stuff I've never considered. I'll be watching a video of @Mu_ strolling through an exploration of thought dynamics in closed and open minds and I think "Dang, I've never thought about it like that before. Brilliant".

@Serotoninluv  ahaha love it! now i need to look at emerald stuff! sounds like an interesting topic

@Leo Gura what do you see as the number 1 factor holding people back from Yellow? 

Deficiency needs is a good answer, but I would also say lack of familiarity with the Spiral Dynamics model itself, and lack of epistemic inquiry. The dynamics of knowledge (epistemology) needs to be directly explored and contemplated.

Also systems thinking. Seeing the world as a complex web of impersonal inter-related systems. Most problems are systemic problems requiring systemic solutions. Few people look at the world this way. They look at the world too personally, as if the world revolves around them and their judgments, as if the solutions are linear and black & white. Yellow is nonlinear thinking. Most people are highly linear thinkers.

Yes, but Green still clings too much to its SJW perspective as being superior.

Green is not able to detach enough from its own perspective.

@Aakash @Serotoninluv @Leo Gura Thank you for sharing

@Leo Gura Here's one of the greatest shades of green (plus some) I've ever seen!

@cetus56 Yes, she's the epitome of healthy Green, which is why conservatives hate and fear her.

@cetus56 @Leo Gura

AOC is on my Green Dream Team along with John Lennon, Timothy Leary and Jerry Garcia.  I still need to find one more to complete my starting five. 

[Leo Gura]

@Serotoninluv Bob Marley?

[cetus]

@Serotoninluv @Leo Gura Maybe some green science would complete that picture? David Bohm?

[Leo Gura]

@cetus56 I'm honestly not sure how to rate Bohm. Some people are hard to rate without reading a detailed biography of them.

His story at 30:48 made me lol ♥️

@Leo Gura I'd sure like to be there if all the above got together in the same room none the less.

Good idea. I was thinking a Green scientist as head coach. 

I think the team needs some wholesomeness for balance. Perhaps John Denver and some all-natural Rocky Mountain High. Or a yoga instructor

Overcoming all the traumas accumulated from tier 1 levels.

I watch his stuff but I notice a lot that he changes his attitude towards X based on who he has on.

And he is always trying to impress a certain female "comedian" so he changes his views etc to be in line with hers which is quite frankly so beta-male it is nauseating.
