  1. Your laziness is not my problem I got too much stuff to post and not enough days.
  2. It's WAY more than that with Teal. She has set up an entire commune of loyalists and yes-men to fed herself social validation and play as their queen. She lives in a self-constructed bubble. A Teal Swan fiefdom. This is a dysfunctional structure for her and her followers.
  3. That cockroach omelet is still sitting on the windowsill
  4. Her whole commune is designed for that. She is terrified of just being alone. Big red flag for a spiritual teacher. She feeds off the adoration of her followers like a catfish off the lake-bed.
  5. Hey, ya'll, I need your help! I want to create a comprehensive list of video examples of prototypical stage Orange thinking. This is not meant to humiliate or demonize stage Orange. It's meant to be an educational tool for people learning about Spiral Dynamics. So towards that end, scour Youtube and find all the videos you can which exhibit stage Orange thinking. Try to find videos which are short and sweet. The more diversity we can display here, the better. Try to find examples from various cultures: Europe, Middle East, Asia, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, Africa, South America, etc. We will create a mega-thread like this for every stage in the Spiral, from Red to Turquoise. But here, let's just focus on Orange. Each week I will start a new mega-thread topic for the next stage. Do not start a political debate in this thread! It is not our goal here to defend our personal political positions or to judge any stage, but simply to compile examples. Thanks for your help! I'm excited to see what kind of juicy stuff you dig up. Try to be selective with your choices. This can turn into a really cool list.

  6. Don't worry, when the egg hatches mom will get a push notification and a free robo-taxi.
  7. Don't say this sort of stuff. There is no reason for her to be banned. Stop making women feel unwelcome here. It's your nonsense that requires endless love, not her.
  8. Being the boyfriend of a female cult leader is an impossible position, I feel like. It works much easier being the girlfriend of a male cult leader. It's more natural.
  9. I never said it wouldn't be that. The problem of hyper-crapitalism remains unsolved.
  10. @Rishabh R Practical tips and principles are good. You can distinguish that from ideology.
  11. Yes, they will still last a while but become totally irrelevant, or they may rapidly develop (Africa).
  12. Gengis Kahn has joined the chat.
  13. Humans will still breed, just less. Many humans will simply be replaced with robots. Children could also be birthed in labs, making it much more convenient for women.
  14. Stop conflating things. This is not a Palestinian debate.
  15. They would launch a nuke if cornered and given no other option. But Orange countries get along well enough that things never need to go that far. Citing Hiroshima is a bad point. That was a special situation which no longer exists: WW2, low yield bombs, only US had bombs so no MAD, different era, different set of moral standards, different set of environmental standards, no global economy.
  16. You made it about Palestine when it was not. But Palestine too is dying because it is too low in development. Every society that refuses to rapidly evolve to Orange and above will die. That's exactly what you see in the news.
  17. I have watched it and I can enjoy it. Whether I like it or not is irrelevant. The insights I wrote are still valid regardless how much you love martial art. Men love martial arts for the same reason men love porn. It serves their survival. Just because you love porn doesn't mean porn is a conscious industry. I already wrote about this parallel.
  18. Has everything to do with it. Iran is a backwards Blue regime. If Iran was Orange they wouldn't be getting bombed.
  19. Quite clear the CIA and Mossad are plotting to overthrow the Iranian regime through assassination and funding opposition groups.
