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.

Memes celebrating psychedelics. Post 'em if you got 'em.

On brand for him. American Psycho.

You're just jealous you ain't Triple Turquiose. #TTT

All of that works. But you need to find the right chemical for you. Something on the light side. Doing 5-MeO at the club is a bad idea. DMT is the obvious choice.

It's one vape cart. Vape cart is reusable and you can suck on it all night long. A vape cart can keep you high for week. The vape allows you to take mild doses for a long mild high. Rather than drinking, you are vaping.

You don't manifest a turd by wishing for it, you walk to the shitter.

Being > Meaning Good work! Good insights.

And I trained a monkey to type Shakespeare.

Possible but he is not in that mood. He thinks he's hot shit. Hitler could improve too, but he didn't want to.

Thanks for sharing.

I disagree. He is precisely blaming the left's problems on the right. Like Marxists do with the failure of Communism. There is an attempt to disown the bad consequences of leftism by saying it's not the true left.

I am sure he believes that. But he will do whatever gets him more power. He is incapable of sacrificing his own power for humanity. Love is meaningless without sacrifice.

Fair enough.

@LordFall You were being a jerk. Argue without being a jerk.

His brain is so cooked on right-wing ideology that he thinks USAID was for welfare queens who waste government money. To Musk, giving you money is a "waste". To Musk, your very existence is a waste. He would rather replace you with a robot he can control.

Guys, stop the personal attacks. Make your argument without ad hominim.

Popes, preists, rabbis, cult leaders, alliance of religion and political leaders. Organized religion has always been corrupt. Even in Jesus' time.

Yeah, there is a lot of ugly porn. Don't watch it. But you cannot legislate taste in porn. In general, most people have poor taste.

Nah. It is not hypocrisy, it is true to form. "Men of the cloth" have always been wolves in sheeps clothing. Jesus' mistake was trying to enter politics. If you are spiritual, you stay out of political activism. A spiritual person must be like a mouse in a jungle of dinosaurs. A mouse cannot take on a dinosaur.

Yup. Not even. You will have more success diminishing the amount of birds in the sky.

You can't stop porn. It's a utopian idea. The need and demand for porn is real. If you dislike it, don't consume it.

Doesn't anger me. Your description does not capture or lead to the levels of consciousness and understanding of God that I am trying to guide people towards.
