Gerrymandering: the epitome of Orange's value of creative manipulation.

Elon Musk to the rescue! The US will always be more spread out than Europe given our geography.

Burning Man is the epitome of Green. That's Green taken to 11, and still functioning in a healthy manner.

@JustinS That looks downright nasty. Careful. Run it through a few test kits to make sure it's at least an Indole of some kind. The best 5-MeO looks like powdered coffee creamer. White, with a bit of yellow tint. Like this:

We had a long thread here a while back about Law of One. If you wanna meet some aliens, smoke some DMT and you should find some

It doesn't even prove that much. Technically all it proves is that two appearances are changing in sync with one another. Cause & effect is a total illusion. Nothing causes anything else. There is an infinite tangle of co-arising phenomena. It's nonlinear, so the logical mind can never fully untangle it.

@Outer Yes, smaller video game developers tend to skew Greenish. Although the game industry is brutally Orange in other ways, like when it comes time to ship, with months of crunch which burn employees out. Video game developers are about 50% Orange and 50% Green. At least the good ones. The bad ones are 90% Orange.

@Ferdi Le The entire internet marketing biz is pure Orange.

No, they would not eliminate the organization. Green is all about community and organizing. Green's organizations just have a flat hierarchy and are focused on human relationships rather than pleasing authority figures or meeting aribitrary sales quotas. A hippie commune is a great example of a Green organization structure. Or if you're looking for corporate examples, think of companies like Google, who treat their employees pretty well, providing lots of on-campus benefits, and have people work in small open groups. Lots of NGOs are Green. The UN is Green-ish. Green wants human-centered, heart-centered communities.

Lol, that's Green! Green does not abolish capitalism. Green softens out cold, heartless capitalism with regulations and heart. Stop conflating Green with radical Marxism. This is the problem with what Jordan Peterson teaches. It's a gross demonization and misrepresentation of Green which makes Orange and Blue people think that Green is evil, Soviet-style Communism. But it isn't. That was Blue/Red.

God doesn't judge anything. And no man has worth. It's JP's ego-mind that judges and creates hierarchies of value God sees no hierarchies. God sees no value. God just is. God loves all those things JP loves to hate

I remember PsychedSubstance YT channel had a video about an autistic guy doing a large dose of LSD. It worked on him, but he needed to take like a triple dose. Seems like autistic people will have a higher tolerance to psychedelics, but not so high you can't overpower it with high doses. Make sense to me, since spirituality happens in the right hemisphere and logic happens in the left. The other thing that should help you is Kriya yoga

That's cause you assume you've become conscious of intellignece. But you haven't. You haven't gone deep enough. When you do, you'll know why we call it intelligence, and not something else. Same with "God". Those who haven't gone deep enough will not understand why that word is used. That's cause you haven't discovered God yet, so the word is meaningless to you. It's deeper than you can possibly know. Keep digging and stay humble.

Several books on my book list explain it. Look for the titles with "kundalini" in it.

I have not.

@billiesimon Sounds like you're 50% Greenish. Most of my viewers are probably Greenish. Because Orange viewers would go watch Tai Lopez -type videos instead. I'm too metaphysical for them. When an Orange person hears the word "spirituality" or "God", he runs for the hills. I should probably stop using those words.

A very typical Orange fear. Orange believes that it must always be competing, otherwise nothing will get done. In reality, you can chill out and still accomplish work. You don't need a cutthroat attitude to be creative, productive, and happy. You don't need to work 60 hours a week. Scandinavian countries are very Greenish. They also have the highest happiness index. Higher than the US. When you have your basic survival needs satisfied, that's when life gets really interesting. Now you have time for art, education, philosophy, spirituality, self-actualization, exploration, community, bonding, deep relationships, raising their children to be good people, helping the world, etc.

Stop judging Green, and maybe then you'll have a shot at growing into it. Green consciousness is quite evolved. Orange cannot fathom the shift that opens up Green. It's a pretty radical shift. You're not going to get to it through logic or debate or science. You must open your heart. The difference between Orange and Green is that Green has opened his heart and Orange denies there is such a thing. Don't think you can just skip over Green. It will take many of you Orange people 5 to 10 years of work before you start to see what Green is really about. If you're thinking that Green is about becoming a militant vegan, you're totally missing the point.

Kiss the Alaskan salmon goodbye:

@martin_malin Lol

Many Northern European leaders are Green. Northern Europe skews very Green politically, socially, and economically. One's level of consciousness or Spiral Dynamics level does not guarantee any kind of results. Neither Green nor Yellow nor Turquoise guarantee that your policies will not hurt some people or lead to catastrophe. Every stage is capable of bad policy. Policy is complex and can often backfire in unexpected ways. Even so, Green policy tends to be much healthier overall than Orange or Blue policy. What created the Syrian refugee crisis? Was it Green? Or was is George Bush's and the Neo-Con's Blue/Orange bright idea to invade Iraq? Which, BTW, resulted in over 100,000 civilian deaths. "Destructive" is a relative thing. What feels "destructive" to you at Orange will not feel so once you're at Green. And vice versa. There is no such thing as absolutely "destructive". Destructive is always a judgment relative to your ego and your Spiral stage.

Died from cocaine abuse. Went to jail for beating a hooker.

Great Orange film:
