The human body is simply not going to endure years of radiation and low gravity of Mars. It will take a horrible toll that will leave people crippled and broken. Mars will not be any kind of second chance for the human species to survive. If Earth fails everyone on Mars will die horrible deaths.

I think you're conflating things. Green media is like TYT or David Pakman. Trump is not Green in his media use. Trump just opportunistically exploits the media like suckers. Trump's media use is toxic Orange and even Red. A Red psychopath would pollute the media with bullshit and use it to run a crypto grift or steal an election. This has nothing to do with post-modernism. Con-artists are NOT post-modernists. They are wolves who prey on post-modern sheep. Even if the media is post-modern, Trump just exploits that environment. Like a crocodile in a kids swimming pool. Marx is definitely Orange. Today's Marxists are Green because Green can build on top of Orange. Marx himself was racist, for example. If you ask AI to analyze Marx along SD, it will say mostly Orange with bits of Green.

Sorry. I am retracting my comments about Integral and JD Vance. I am unable to find the source I thought I remembered. Disregard what I said about Vance. Unless maybe I am able to find a proper source.

Yup. The devil loves to put lipstick on a pig.

I am looking for the source to post on my blog right now.

The best irony of all this is that Don Beck called Ken Wilber a Stage Red psychopath. OMG, mankind is such a clownshow.

@Adrian colby What's really disturbing is when you come to know that Steve Bannon reads about enlightenment and Eastern mysticism and thinks his whole agenda is aligned with it. Yes, New Agers are easily fooled into supporting MAGA. Like Aubrey Marcus. A very illustrive case-study of how this all goes wrong.

Move fast, break things. Mars edition. What could possibly go wrong?

Study it all you want. People will still not do it in the hardcore ways that are necessary. There's not gonna be some magic pill that makes serious meditation easy.

I have noticed for a long time that Wilber has a strange application of SD to politics. He expect society to skip over Green to be Yellow. He wants more Yellow. He blames Green for being too mean. But he doesn't recognize that America has never reached solid Green as it's stuck in Orange-Blue and demonizes Green. Wilber expects America to go from Orange-Blue to Yellow because Green is too mean. This makes no sense. The proof of it is this regression towards fascism. Blaming Green for creating Trump is gaslighting.

The radiation alone will kill you.

It's a great idea which I will fully endorse if Musk is the first to go. Let's see how much he loves it on Mars.
-
Humans ain't gonna live on any other planets for a very long time. It's pointless to even discuss. I know the technology angle. But frankly mankind has way too much tech already. We have more important matters to handle than massive rockets to nowhere good.
-
Not quite the same thing. Musk's quest has a pretty unique purpose in his psyche. And also important is that it's a totally absurd and unnecessary plan. Mankind is not going to live on Mars. Musks needs that to be true to feel important. It's like if I said mankind will live in volcanos. This is not like being a surgeon. Human bodies are not going to function on Mars. People will go there and come back crippled or not at all.

As I keep saying, you guys misunderstand billionaires. It's not about the money. It's about the ego trip, the power, the control, the feeling of grand self-importance. Musk is on an epic ego power trip. Just like Trump. Unions threaten to take away his power and control. The thing Musk hates the most is having to share power with others. Abso-fucking-lutely. Although if you really understood what an ego trip is, it's not as shallow as digits in a bank account. Ego trip is all about the feeling. When Musk wants mankind to fly to Mars, that's an ego-trip. He wants it because it makes him feel like his life matters. Like he's the most important guy on Earth.
-
Wilber is wrong. The Integral community is wrong. They misapply SD. Trump is not post-truth, he's just a liar. Liars and frauds have exists since forever. Wilber improperly applies SD because he has is own anti-Green bias from being rejected by academia. This bias warps his view of the America political situation.
-
If that is true, the problem then is that if he couldn't do, no one basically stands a chance.
-
We know his rationalization. But it is BS. The real reason he went anti-woke is because he realized wokeness wants to limit his power and control with unions. Unions are what turned Musk right. His kid is happy and doing fine. Musk just doesn't accept who they became and now uses it as an excuse to be corrupt.
-
He's immature. Yeah, but I think that's a you problem of expecting him to be more than he is. He's a founder. Founders never have been responsible for all of a company success. Founders assemble a great team and direct it towards a great vision. Musk is good at that. No more, no less. He's not some sort of e-Jesus. It's actually important for founders to be rough around the edges. That provides innovation which managers cannot do. I'm rough around the edges. And that's what makes Actualized so appealing. If I was a corporate guy in suit or even a Buddhist, Actualized would be lame and not worth following. If you want innovation you need a mind that's pretty odd and unhinged. Unfortunately this very bad for politics.
-
@gengar You're talking about the problem of capitalism at large, which is unfair to blame on Musk or his evil. Musk is just an actor within a capitalist system that needs to grow and develop technology for its survival. Be very careful about demonizing people for capitalism as a whole.
-
I am not even that anti-Musk. People here have hated on him long before I said anything. I have tried to be fair to Musk from the beginning. If anything, I was too fair to him. People here even critcized me for defending him. And I am still fair to him. It is only in the domain of politics that I have any gripes with him because his political ideas and actions are truly cringe and corrupt. There's just no way around that. There is no steelmanning of Musk's anti-woke crusade. It is fallacious and harmful to democracy.

Glad you're contemplating.

@aracid Could you describe in more detail what this sinister state felt like, looked like, and why it felt so negative? Was there negative visual imagery? Negative feelings?

Haha! Been there. -
I don't want to speculate about people who aren't even alive. It's too prone to self-deception.
