To expand on my previous post in this thread: I appreciate the effort going into the video immensely, and, coming from a perspective of mystical experiences of my own, plus having deeply pondered the ramifications of logic and duality vs non-duality, I largely agree with Leo's notions of God, though I am skeptic to the claim of idealism, my intuition tells me that while idealism can be a perspective that is true, it is still a perspective subject to duality vs materialism, and the actual truth might encompass both and beyond.

Updates on spiralize.org: The spiral dynamics world map now has a more nuanced view of the countries mentioned by Daniel Balan by adding dual dominant stages represented by diagonal stripes in the two most dominant stage colors. New insight pages: Spiral Poetry page (slightly awkward poems, four from yours truly and one from DeepSeek) Real-world examples page. Examples ranging from Society & Culture to Everyday Life and Conscious Co-creation, 8 categories with 4 subcategories each. Character gallery page. 26 characters so far, from various areas, books, movies, anime, real life... This could easily get out of hand, but I added the option for anyone to submit themselves to the gallery =) New guides (shamelessly A.I.-generated): Personal Spiral Growth Guide Parenting & Education Guide Coaching & Leadership Toolkit Spiralizing Organizations & Communities Spiral-Aware Mental Health Guide Spiral-Aware Spirituality Guide Spiral-Aware Global Governance Guide Enjoy! <3

Great video in many ways, I only disagree with the statement that idealism is more true than materialism. In my view, these are both just limited perspectives, the mystery of God is greater than both.

Currently one sees the other stages when clicking a country. But that's a good idea, having two colors for countries with no dominant stage. Maybe striped would be best. I will look into it, also changing the stages of the countries you mention. I added a page on A.I. assistants, letting them write a blurb, a motto, analyze themselves and then rating their alignment with the various stages in a radar chart where one can compare them to each other. Was pretty fun to make! https://www.spiralize.org/insights/ai-assistants Maybe this is a bit similar to how I scored the A.I. assistants alignment with the Spiralize mission, if I understand correctly.

My mother also got her main as Green and secondary as Beige, I think it is a nurturing profile; her focus has always been on maintaining our family. Fun to see so many people doing the assessments! I have continued work on the website, the latest addition is an interactive global map: https://www.spiralize.org/spiral?tab=visualizations It is very tricky to assess countries on the spiral, capturing all the nuances would take an amount of work I am not quite ready for, so it is a simplified approach. But I added tertiary stages for the Nordic countries and USA. I also added a stage comparison matrix, including clashes and bridging strategies between stages.

Remember that no stage is better than any other, even if integrating all stages is the ideal I have added a new page to Spiralize.org on peace: https://www.spiralize.org/insights/peace And also expanded the explore page with resources, including links to Actualized.org and Practical Integral's video's on Spiral Dynamics: https://www.spiralize.org/spiral. Some planned updates I'm thinking of are A world map where you can explore regions or countries relation to dominant spiral stages A timeline showing how Spiral Dynamics stages have emerged in human history, with important events or figure related to the stages

I updated the website with two new pages, they turned out pretty well I think: https://www.spiralize.org/insights/global https://www.spiralize.org/insights/governance As before, I welcome any critique and suggestions.

Leo on Rogan's show would be a great chance of educating Rogan and more people on Spiral Dynamics, tier-2 thinking and understanding the current clash of spiral blue/orange and green in the U.S. and the need to progress. And also a great chance of giving a more nuanced view on spirituality and religion. I really would like to see this happen, but I am also a bit afraid less important things would be the focus.

I think it can vary a lot depending on community and other factors such as your cultural background. But I agree in that I would also like to see a bit more heart in general, without losing important capacities such as critical thinking.

Not only Europe, but the world should be united, on common principles respecting each culture's and peoples differences. A layered approach with perhaps a hybrid of direct and representative democracy, with adaptive universal basic income as a base for evening out economic inequalities. A global governance should ensure the common principles are respected and coordinate global efforts, while local countries and communities decide issues at their level. Imagine the amount of things we could get done by redirecting the efforts spent on war and international conflicts into common purposes.

Paradoxes appear from the limitations of logic and duality, grasping. "This statement is false". If you believe things exist, they exist, within that limited lense.

While it might be comforting with a label, how about being nothing at all, and without stating it?

I feel like ChatGPT is more cheery, sometimes over the top. Claude is more demure. They both are sometimes better sometimes worse at solving my coding issues. I haven't gotten enough experience with DeepSeek yet to judge it's tone or coding capacities, DeepSeek translated a long JSON snippet better than ChatGPT, which missed some parts (I don't waste my precious Claude tokens on such easy tasks).
