The video might be a bit long, but the most important part is the dialogue that happens at 4:30 minutes 

 

 

Here is an EXCELLENT  example of the clashing of values between vMEME Purple and vMEME Red, and how the necessity of "moving up" arises.

 

That video requires some contextualization

It's a side quest from a game called "The  Witcher 3".

And  in this particular quest there's a monster who lives in the woods, called Leschen, it terrifies the villagers who lives nearby, killing some of them, and because of that, the druid/shaman of this village decided to perform a ritual by which he sacrifices some animals to offer him, in order to please the creature, but it doesn't seem to work...

And then the Witcher comes, and has been asked by the villagers if he was able to get rid of this monster once and for all. So the Witcher does a little bit of investigation and finds out who the monster was and how to kill it, but before he does that, he decides to tell the villagers in advance, because there were things they have to do in order to help to get rid of this Leschen, and the first person he approaches was the Druid/Shaman of this village...

And we can clearly see how different their worldviews are with regard to this situation:

The Druid/shaman sees the Leschen as a force of nature, and that we should not interfere with that, because that was what make them strong and resilient, and is also their bond to their ancestors (vMEME Purple).

 

While the Witcher saw it for what it is, a living creature that is dangerous for the villagers survival, and that requires an immediate response to this threat, which would killing this monster to save them(vMEME Red)

 

 

 

I won't tell you the rest because it would take too long, and the main thing I wanted to present you guys I already did.

But I highly recommend you guys to watch this video, it may help you clarify a lot about how vMEME Purple becomes unsustainable, and why it's necessary to transcend to vMEME Red

The last thing you'd expect to see, this individual having stage red values from just his body language and tonality:

   Who later was found with several body parts in his freezer.

Perfecton! B|

Red is impulsive, and will use the word "litmus" even if it's only 60-70% appropriate because it thinks short-term and copies others, and is very easily strong-armed into blue's ways, while orange and green would have additional reasons to resist blue.

Wait you mean the test is if you look at her instead of what she's doing in the video? Oh.....
