And you can raise a feral baby from Africa.

The opposite point can also be made: regressive conservatives push Green into absurdity. When Andrew Tate and Kanye West say the things they say, can you really blame Green for cancelling them? Are we supposed to sit around and wait for Tate and Kanye to publically rape women and deport Jews before we call them out on their depravity? Is it gaslighting and virtue-signaling to ban Kanye West or Alex Jones from doing his right-wing rants? By its fundamentalist nature the right wing is not going to moderate itself. It will keep pushing for more and more regressive policies unless checked. If you let the right wing they will ban birth control and interracial marriage. And then they will start deporting people and reeducating the gays. And they will force their religon down everyone's throat. That's the anti-woke vision. You are not going to get "true liberalism" this way. Anti-woke reactionaries are precisely anti-liberal.

DeSantis will have a hold on that place for a long time.

Not necessarily so simple. Case in point: Alan Watts, who died a depressed alcoholic. A spiritual person can still get depressed in practice if their life takes a wrong turn. Spirituality does not make you invincible.

Because it's just not satisfying. Relationships are burden enough. It makes no sense to pay the cost but not get satisfaction out of it -- which you will not get if there is not strong values alignment. The more conscious I get the less satisfaction I get from socializing with unconscious people. Not because I am closedminded, but because I have nothing to gain from it. For example, if I approach a girl who is a fundamentalist Christian I just walk away. There is no satisfaction I can get from her. I would rather be alone than keep the company of a fool. Why would I torture myself? When you relate with someone long-term they need to be roughly on your level.

You just gotta face them with consciousness, without squirming away, and apply understanding, love, and surrender.

They don't. Critiques of Green from above rare very rare. And even when they are made by people like Wilber or Teal, they are still misguided because the political battle doesn't stop to accomodate Yellow. In practice what would happen if Teal's political advice was followed is that American democracy would be overthrown in a fascist coup by mouthbreathing religous fanatics. the ironic thing is that the woke are the only thing standing between Teal being burned at the stake for the witch that she is. Once the MAGA take power then you'll really see "free speech" and "cancel culture". As intolerant as the woke are, anything less than woke is far more intolerant. And that intolerance will be felt by Teal and her tribe first and foremost. Teal's whole audience is full of soft Green crybabies who will be raped and trafficked by the likes of Tate and his Red Pill wannabes. Teal's role in an anti-woke society is either as a housewife or burning at the stake. She should know better having grown up in Mormon Utah. Green is not merely virtue signaling, Green is keeping corporations, fascists, and religious fanatics from enslaving you. You can't speak of the evils of Green without speaking of their positive function in society.

Now it's time to get serious and bring out the DMT pipe.

I don't need any more potency from my weed. I hit my ceiling with 3 puffs of the vape. Tinctures I will try soon.

Cheated how? All bodybuilders use steroids so that doesn't count. That's just the biz. Yeah, Arnold slept around, however you are mistaken in characterizing Arnold as not caring about this son. He supported his son in secret, obviously because he could not admit he had a son from not his wife. I have read Arnold's biography and it is nothing as bad as Tate. Yes, Arnold was no angel. But he is still a good rolemodel overall for men. Listen to the speech Arnold gave last year after Putin invaded Ukraine and compare that to the toxic shit Tate says. Arnold is way smarter than Tate.

I embody those precisely because I am not a Christian. There is not a single Christian who knows what Love is.

Traditional Christian values would be that path, for example. But Christians are horribly corrupt so I wouldn't expect any decency from them. Stage Blue religion is the ultimate fake wokeness. The entire history of Christianity is devils virtue-signaling about how godly they are. Is any American Christian awake? Do any of them tolerate alternative POV? Is any of them Christ-like? They are all full of shit. Just look at JP. He is the best example of what happens when you reject wokeness, and then what? You devolve into tweeting about how climate isn't a real thing and fat chicks are bad.

No it isn't. No! They are literally different levels of consciousness. This is why I teach Spiral Dynamics, so people stop making this mistake.

All of Teal's points are valid critiques of stage Green. But I feel like she's not acknowledging that this is just how stage Green is. What else do you expect? Nobody gives a fuck about real awakening (not even Teal's audience I would suggest). Of course Green has limits, and of course group-think, conformity, and intolerance are some of the biggest downsides of Green. But our society is nowhere developed or mature enough for Tier 2. Wilber makes this same mistake of talking about Green as though we should already be beyond it, when obviously most of the world still has yet to experience Green. Half of America demonizes Green. This is a fact you cannot deny. So there cannot be Yellow any time soon. And also it is dangerous to make a video denouncing wokeness without at all addressing how lower stages of the Spiral will weaponize this to create a MAGA-like regression into Blue, Orange, and even Red. When people like Tate, Trump, and Kanye dominate the news, it is political malpractice to record a video against wokeness and not address the evils of anti-wokeness. Many people will watch this video and leave with the conclusion that woke is bad and anti-woke is good. The danger posed by Green is less than the danger posed by Blue and Orange. You cannot discusss Green in isolation from its alternatives. The alternative is not Yellow, it's Orange, Blue, and even Red. If Teal is seriously gonna complain about gaslighting, how about the masters of gaslighting: the right-wing? As if cries of reverse-racism and reverse-sexism by the right are not the mother of all gaslights. The right has been gaslighting about racism for 200 years.

No. It makes me conscious like an alien hive mind. I become so conscious that it starts to bleed into insanity. No amount of meditation will ever make you that conscious.

When you realize this about ALL of life, your work is done

Ken Wilber, Daniel Schmachtenberger, and Peter Ralston are good examples of Construct-Aware+

My main deal is understanding because you cannot do anything else without it, certainly not unwinding the ego.

Don't know what that means.

If guys need a simple basic male rolemodel look no further than Joe Rogan. Rogan has integrity and a kind heart while still exuding the sterotypical machoness, silly though it is. Schwarzenegger is still amazing and wise. Why would anyone pick Tate over Schwarzeneggar? Tate looks like a wet pussy by comparison.

As cringe as woke can be, it's still far better those people who haven't even reached "woke". Like MAGA and Red Pill. Obviously "woke" never meant spiritual awake. The funny thing is that most people in the world have a lot of work to do just to reach "woke". It's also funny that carrying about inequality is all the sudden demonized as "woke", when really it should be the default position of any human.

I vape the shatter, which is concentrated weed. I have also just smoked weed from a bong. It has the exact same effect on me, although needlessly painful on the lungs. Weed has a really bad sub-culture going on. Nobody is using it to seriously trip, they are using it for fun. Which is why pure THC isn't sold much. I can plug oil, I don't care. I'd still consider that pure THC.

I do care about unwinding the ego. Nothing I say precludes that.

The difference is, in heaven you get to skip one day of cardio.
