Stage Yellow Art

In the beginning of my self-development journey. Anthony Robbins was one of the key figures in my first steps toward growth. Today I'm not much into success oriented self-help, but I'm still grateful about all the things that I could learn from him. And then there's Sophia. The first AI Robot that is able to interact with humans and the first robot that has a citizenship. At first, when I read the title, I thought it would be some sort of clickbait video. But I decided to give it a try. And to be fair, I really enjoyed it: the questions were very well addressed as well as the answers... So I thought it would be interesting to share this video with you guys and have a discussion about it. I would love to read what you guys think of it!???

I totally agree with what Leo said on this remark. I was totally blown away when I read the book "Integral psychology" by Ken Wilber. It also helped to understand with a lot more depth the things that Leo has said in his videos. I don't have to follow him blindly in order to appreciate the wisdom of what he is trying to teach. Remember that thinking at tier 2 are not attach to a cult of personality. Because they are conscious that they can always learn something from someone. Even if it is an lesson of what not to do...?

This video is a very good example of the vMEME orange scientism/"flatland" metaphysics.

This song is a good metaphor for the entering phase of Turquoise (vMEME YELLOW/turquoise) "Lateralus" Black then white are all I see In my infancy. Red and yellow then came to be, Reaching out to me, Lets me see. As below, so above and beyond, I imagine drawn beyond the lines of reason. Push the envelope. Watch it bend. Over-thinking, over-analyzing separates the body from the mind. Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines. Black then white are all I see In my infancy. Red and yellow then came to be, Reaching out to me. Lets me see There is so much more And beckons me To look through to these Infinite possibilities. As below, so above and beyond, I imagine drawn outside the lines of reason. Push the envelope. Watch it bend. Over-thinking, over-analyzing separates the body from the mind. Withering my intuition, leaving opportunities behind. Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line. Reaching out to embrace the random. Reaching out to embrace whatever may come. I embrace my desire to I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected Enough to step aside and weep like a widow To feel inspired, to fathom the power, To witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, To swing on the spiral, to swing on the spiral, To swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human. With my feet upon the ground I lose myself between the sounds And open wide to suck it in. I feel it move across my skin. I'm reaching up and reaching out. I'm reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me. Whatever will bewilder me. And following our will and wind We may just go where no one's been. We'll ride the spiral to the end And may just go where no one's been. Spiral out. Keep going. [4x]

This video requires some explanation: the reason why I brought this vidro to this mega thread was not much on WHAT it was presented in this content, but really on HOW this content was presented. A vMEME Yellow would probably approach this situation in a Systems Thinking/Game theory view, but in a more sofisticated and nuanced way than that. You can't summarise what will happen to ISIS fighters post-caliphate in just 7 minutes. But the mechanics of it are very yellow. For more about systems thinking and game theory, google "The Tragedy of the Commons" and "The Prisoner's Dilemma".

I think a lot of people take Trevor Noah for granted. Just because he is a comedian and runs a SD stage green show. But he is really at stage yellow or at least a large chunk of his cognitive development is.

This one is my latest work

Hi guys! Good evening. I was watching a very interesting interview in which the guest basically explains the possible obstacles of psychedelics drugs if it becomes integrated in our society. In his view were two things: 1. Big oranges companies spreading it like candy. With no concerned with the embodiment of the experience. 2. The new generation of orange/green millennials. Who might been using for entertainment purposes. I would like to know you guys opinions. I've had very few experiences with psychedelics. So it would be a nice oportunity for all of us to learn more about this topic.??

Hi guys! I been watching some videos on YouTube and I stumbled upon an old video that shows an ex-KGB member called Yuri Bezmenov talking about his techniques of espionage on foreign countries. It's a very interesting video, however, I could that someimes he rants against the leftists, that makes me wander. So I tried to use the SD to see if I can get some answers. And What I came out with is that he might be critizing the left from a stage blue/orange perspective. Probably because he spent all his life in the soviet era. Which was basically red/blue. That I think he is projecting out and lumping all together with the left . I'm not an expert about it. That's why I brought this topic for you guys so that we can dicuss. Thanks

I think Venezuela had some layers of green as well. The problem though is that I think they became too ideological about it and then Chavez started to create a cult of personality about him and his bolivarian socialism that went off the rails and now it became just a way to concentrate/centralize power over the whole country.

This one is a good example of the transition from purple/red to blue

https://youtu.be/LX62UwMbdGE Hi guys! This is my first post here in the forum. I'm new, so therfore I don't know if this sort of topic is discussed here. I was watching the fight last night between Connor McGregor vs Khabib and I got shocked to what happened after the fight . When khabib, after winning the fight, went out the octagon and started a brawl with McGregor's team. But after all of that happened, I started to think about the things that Leo used to say abput the ego and also about spiral dynamics. Connor McGregor is a guy who promotes himself with his big gigantic ego and narcisism ( stage orange). Also the whole UFC makes billions of dollars marketing all of this thrash talking before the fight, flirting a little bit with stage red temperament. While khabib, at least on the screens, tried to remain neutral , however, after he won, from my point of view, his ego has flourished, and I could see that even though he had won the fight over McGregor , and kept the belt for him, he was celebrating, or cheerful, instead he still got pissed off and felt that it wasn't enough, so he went off and tried to beat the shit out of McGregor's team, (stage red). That's the way I see it. I would like to read other people's opinion towards that.

@waking_dreams@waking_dreamsanother time I have to disagree on that. This is definitely not stage yellow reasoning. It's very biased. And do not take multiple perspectives. Yes it has some truths in it. But why he didn't put Bolsonaro's agenda into perspective as well? Purposes like giving guns to the whole country and cutting some salaries for the workers? Why did he not spoke about Paulo Guedes? The minister of finance of his government who is a neoliberal free market guy who wants to privatize everything state company? I also think his statement is too biased towards the Congress and the Judiciary. They are also very corrupt. The military coup in Brazil they shutdown the congress and the Judiciary without further warning. And Bolsonaro flirts with the idea of Military Dictatorship. He himself declared that he was in favor of it and of torture. It's seems to me that the guys is a Bolsonaro's voter and try to rationalize in a way to diminish the value of the other candidate to make him look good. That's normal. That's how ego works. The reality of the situation is that we're all fucked not matter what we do. And while we still have a democracy we have to choose the lesser of two evils.

An example of Blue would be Cabo Daciolo. Another presidential candidate. Who is the stereotypical evangelical priest. Who goes to the debates with the bible and praises to lord while speaking.

I have to disagree with the majority of the people here on one point : Bolsonaro is not SD blue with a lot of red. He is a full red with some rudimentary blue in it. Which means that he uses blue value to justify his red behavior.

Don't trust anything you see on the media buddy. Lula was a great president. The problem was that he underestimated the corruption of Brazil and inside his own party. But in a sense he allowed that to happen just so he could govern in peace. Tge problem thou is that it backfired on him. Then the worker's party elected Dilma, which was an incompetent president, and the collective ego of the worker's party has grown more and more until the shit hits the fan. Using the social programs, which has worked in the beginning, but now as an excuse to remain in power. That's how I see the modern polictics in Brazil (speaking as a Brazilian). Now. About the spiral dynamics stage: Before the worker's party went to power , Brazil was stage blue and rudimentary orange. Fernando Henrique Cardoso was the president at that time, he was stage orange. Then Lula came along, and he was stage green, populist and idealist, you see, Lula was an outlier. Even the worker's party couldn't expect that. He invested a lot on social programs to help the poor, and it did work during this time. But also ( as I mentioned earlier) the collective ego of the worker's party wanted to spread more and more of their influence, leading to white collar crime( stage orange). Then Dilma came along, continuing Lula's green program. But I really don't consider her green, she was probably a high orange. And then, during her reelection , she got a monstrous ego backlash. Because a lot of corruption was coming out in the media. And also the worker's party made some alliance with corrupt parties to get themselves in power, like for example the PMDB, which assume the presidency after Dilma got impeached. At that time they also got the president of tge congress with them. And now we have a red candidate, Jair Bolsonaro, against Fernando Haddad, I don't know how to categorize him. In short this is basically an ego backlash of blue and orange against green. It also makes us reflect that. Although these social programs may help benefit the people's country. This is also an example that just good intentions isn't enough. The President has to think systemically (stage yellow). And to develop programs that are sustainable. Because these social programs can cost a lot. Anyway. I think this post is a little bit too long, I'm sorry about that, it's just that is something that we Brazilians are suffering a lot.

Thanks guys for all the elucidated comments!? Specially the one by@Serotoninluv ! his view on the Spiral Dynamics model can be seenin this video on his post fight interview. Where he can't grasp the idea of the marketing and the promotion of all this trash talking( stage orange) that happens in the UFC.
