Men need dating advice, but most of the men giving out dating advice are very corrupt, and the men needing the advice don't care because they are so desperate and immature and equally corrupt. Corruption seeks corruption. Flies seek shit. When you can't get laid, you don't care about being ethical or good, nor truth. You just want to either get laid by any way possible or to whine about why you can't and why someone but you is to blame. Immature men create immature dating advice for immature men to attract immature women. Immature women fall for it, so it works. When the women are so immature, you can't attract them with maturity or wisdom. Round and round the wheel goes.

That's more true of jeans. Jeans are the true norm. Jeans are just considered cool thanks to conformity.

I don't know why people love to hate on khaki pants.

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

Why do chimpanzees exist? Hard drug addicts are pretty much operating at the level of animals.

I'm quite surprised he didn't.

Many

But will he still hold office? Will he even step down?

It can because it is a subset of the Infinite. A droplet can reflect its source.

I've known about it for a few years now. I am skeptical. I doubt it can match the original and it really doesn't need a sequel. But I am intrigued. It could be decent. But I don't want my fave film to be fucked with by modern Hollywood. The first film is perfection and needs nothing more.

@Basman Touche. The dictionary should have a picture of a Japanese person under Conformity

I'd like to make a thread that shares and explores exotic cultures around the world, in the spirit of raising our openmindedness to and appreciation of the rich cultural diversity beyond standard vanilla Western culture. There are many great examples to be shared. Stuff like this: I want to see examples here of exotic and weird cultural norms and habits.

Yeah, that's why making games is so hard. You either fail by being too impractical, or you are too practical and you become Todd Howard.

Oink!

Few courses are worth spending your last dollars on, nevermind a loan. What is so special about this course?

Teen raised in absolute squalor.

A small percentage of people can't visualize, period.

There's no shortage of problems to go around.

They treat it exactly like team sports, and they really believe their team is God's chosen one.

Young guy gets beaten in the head with a golf club on the golf course. Golf etiquette. Mentally ill dude punches 75 year old man in the face.

Hero to zero.

Just do it! I find it helpful to leverage pre-trip anxiety to get the bowels moving. Just remembing prior trips generates that anxiety. Once you've committed to trip, a mild anxiety should kick in. Use that.

For "things to appear" you'd need to take some very high dose like 6g+. I don't recommend dosing that high. It gets dangerous.
