It's good to draw a distinction between insanity and delusion. Insanity is not automatically delusion. But most people use insanity to mean delusion. You can experience insanity for a while and return without becoming deluded. Insanity is analogous to traveling outside the solar system, to see things no one has seen or imagined.

That kid is saying correct things, but I don't think he's directly conscious of it, he sounds like he's parroting someone else's words. Maybe he's been watching too much Actualized.org That professor is just rambling nonsense. Matter and energy ARE Spirit.

It is clear to you, not clear to others.

If it does, no job is safe, so don't worry about that too much. Don't worry about things you don't control.

"Truth compels me to be a jerk!" But is that true?

I'm concerned that one of his depressed followers might turn into a school shooter. Looksmaxxing will end in a school shooting. Because it is a miserable worldview.

Non-physical is different in kind from physical, since non-physical is not a category, non-physical is the absence of category. What is really meant by non-physical is, Undefined and Uncategorized. There is a profound experiential difference between the ocean being physical vs Undefined. Your experience of the ocean would change if you become conscious that it is not physical. I am never doing word games. We are talking about differences in consciousness.

Sartain is shallow, but at least he isn't blackpilling young men and Sartain's advice will actually get you laid.

Since everything is non-physical, all compression has always been non-physical. Space is literally compressed by gravity, according to science. And you cannot say space is non-physical, since it is the subject of physics. If you say that space is non-physical, then you have admitted that the source of all physical things is non-physical. You do not know what physical is, stop pretending like you do. You don't know what physical is so profoundly that you don't even know if physical exists at all. Don't forget to consider than physical may not be a thing at all.

Don't forget you can compress non-physical things. So space is non-physical?

So air is non-physical?

That's Awakening! The entire notion of "physical" is stupid, since it never had a defintion. Define physical. I dare you.

Chris Langan's CTMU paper. You can google for it.

Blood is a non-physical thing. Of course.

He is poisoning the minds of millions of desperate young men. This is not just about him. His influence on young men's mind is toxic and harmful. Young men will end up killing themselves because he blackpills them so hard and lookmaxxing fails to improve their looks. Lookmaxxing is cancer because it convinces young men that their only chance of getting sex is by drastically improving their looks, yet at the same time lookmaxxing cannot drastically improves one's looks if one doesn't already look decent. That's a dead end. He invented a business model that makes him a multi-millionaire at the cost of young mens' mental health. This rape stuff is just the cherry on top.

Where it fails, it's because regulation enforcement is lacking. To pass laws and to enforce those laws are two very different things. And then there's corruption on top of that.

Whatever you believe it is.

Be careful here. There is a lot of gain in transcending Green. Green does not truly understand lower perspectives like conservatives, criminals, Nazis, racists, tyrants, bullies, etc. Green is too busy judging and moralizing such things. Transcending Green requires a painful recognition that they were wrong. Which is why most Greens never outgrow Green. You will know you transcended Green when you stop demonizing and judging all of the following: conservatives, criminals, Nazis, racists, tyrants, bullies, etc.

If you guys cannot keep this thread civil, I am going to lock it.

This is a lie.

Hey, ya'll, I need your help! I want to create a comprehensive list of video examples of prototypical stage Yellow thinking. This is not meant to humiliate or demonize stage Yellow. 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 Yellow 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 Yellow. 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. Stage Yellow Values: Nuance & complexity Openmindedness Perspective Novel concepts & POVs Generating fresh insights Understanding Systems thinking Nonlinear dynamics Sustainability, long time frames Going meta Big picture vs technical analysis Holistic analysis Synthesis Connecting the dots Penetrating to the core of an issue Identifying & solving root problems A multi-disciplinary approach Mixing hard & soft sciences Creativity, outside-the-box solutions Ecology Responsible ways of being Studying models Spiral Dynamics Natural hierarchies Education, knowledge, research, reading Reading lots of diverse books Clean content, concentrated information Life-long learning Expertise, competence, experience Context, learning from history Developing skills to become an instrument for the greater whole Independent thinking Neutrality: Being objective/impartial Designing solutions for the entire Spiral Meeting people where they are at Building bridges Social engineering Ecological designs Reducing the suffering of living systems Pulling ideas from many sources Combining different ideas, models, theories Left-brained Vision & purpose, being a visionary Requisite variety, mental flexibility Self-actualization Paradox Uncertainty Responsibility, independence, autonomy Being a lone-wolf Stage Yellow Examples: Abraham Maslow, Eben Pagan, Fritjof Capra, Carl Sagan, quantum mechanics, fathers of quantum mechanics, David Bohm, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Erwin Schrodinger, Arthur Eddington, Richard Feynman, Freeman Dyson, John Archibald Wheeler, Joseph Campbell, Erich Fromm, Clare Graves, Don Beck, Spiral Dynamics, Ilya Prigogine, chaos theory, cybernetics, biomimetics, NLP, Alfred Korzybski, the leading edge of academia, futurists, StarTrek humans & Vulcans, Prime Directive, sustainable living, ecology, eco cities, conflict resolution, Wikipedia, Buckminster Fuller

Sit down and test your theory. Sit down and manifest a diamond.
