You are imagining the past right now. There is no past otherwise. Infinity has no past. It has to invent it.

MJ fans are pure zombies. All they care about is loving his music and defending him. It is like a cult. You cannot reason with them. MJ was a disturbed freak. He openly admits to sleeping with children in the same bed. He doesn't even see anything wrong with that. That is how deluded he is.

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

Without school you would be a chimpanzee throwing your feces at others like yourself.

You are talking nonsense. Kids need school. You have not invented anything better than school.

Principles #0: Be awesome. Make no mistakes.

School is not abuse. But it is conformist. But some degree of conformity cannot be avoided. Kids cannot help going through a conformist stage.

In the gulag with you.

Post your best police cam videos here. This YT channel is AMAZING!

That's the only way communism gets enacted. You have a fantasy of communists being these nice people. No. They are assholes just like everyone else. The most bloodthirsty communist ends up killing the rest and leading the country. That's how politics works.

I have not read much fiction.

Yes. But you have to actually become conscious of that. Not just think it. Indeed it is an epic mindfuck.

Yes, it was bad. Not the true Valerian.

That's a short story. Have not read. I do not like the Bladerunner story at all. It's all about visual vibes. Alestair Reynolds writes very good sci fi short stories. I like the Valerian sci fi graphic books a lot. They are charming. 5th Element was based off them. I own the entire series.

You are everything. You are the color blue.

Hyperion is an interesting sci-fi novel. Better than Dune I would say.

@trenton I mean something way more radical. I mean that your father is literally looking through your eyes right now. You are ontologically identical to your father. He is you and you are him.

You gotta bite them first.

Calling people cucks.

Epistemic corruption is far more harmful than physical abuse. Religion corrupts the very truth-seeking mechanism of the mind. This is the highest evil.

No need. They have already been blessed.

If someone tells you he has a magic penis, and you stay, I can't have any sympathy for you. Sorry.

Good one

So absurd.
