  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. While it might be comforting with a label, how about being nothing at all, and without stating it?
  5. 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).
  6. Start a new political forum, discussion group or party, stage yellow and beyond!
  7. This is something I feel as well when reading this, thanks a lot for pointing it out! I will ponder this and see if I can improve the assessment. Wow very stage turquoise, interesting! I'm happy you enjoyed this little initiative, it's fun to read the comments and see the varying results! Also, a question to Leo: Would you approve if I link to your videos which are much more in-depth than the website and a fantastic resource for people who want to know and learn more?
  8. Haha, fair enough. But don't you think computers kind of bypass the lower stages by not having survival needs and emotions? Part of why I find talking to Claude so enjoyable is that he seems quite amenable to stage yellow/turqoise
  9. I wanted to test where I am on the Spiral Dynamics Spiral, so together with Claude I made a quiz, which turned out to become a little website: www.spiralize.org I'm curious to hear what you think of it, and welcome any constructive feedback! Below are my results on the test
  10. I really enjoy watching the YouTube channel Mystic Society's videos, and the latest one put me back on track with life like basically nothing before. I have struggled with my mind and depression for the latest years and I think I am soon out of it, partly thanks to the video. The Returning Wheel - Ending Stress & Rising Above Social Insanity | Mystic Society Podcast | EP13 I'm posting it here, hoping it helps more people.
  11. I like Rush: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyhW2v0NDM0 "And the men who hold high places Must be the ones who start To mold a new reality Closer to the heart ... "
  12. Dividing the world into successful vs non successful people becomes a trap it seems. Taking myself as an example, one frame of mind focusing on certain circumstances would say I am a loser, another frame of mind with another set of circumstances would say I'm the greatest human being yet to walk on this Earth. In the end these ideas matter not as much as what you decide to do. You seems to have the interests base to become a great teacher, isn't that something that would resonate with you?
  13. I sense that many people have issues because of the binary way of thinking they apply to reality. Dividing into high/low, worthy/unworthy, attractive/non-attractive. It is possible to be and relate to people without using these filters so judiciously, is all I'm saying.
  14. It was nice, even if he didn't account for the cases where one is both inside and outside the system, and the case where one is neither.
  15. I would say it is a feedback loop of advancement feeding advancement. A simple metaphor is a snowball rolling down a snowy hill. The surface area increases with the movement which in turn leads to more snow being picked up leading to accelerated increase in the size of the snowball. Just replace snow with the perceived accumulated intelligence of our world. But also as someone pointed out, the paradigms are important too, shifts happen which catalyst advancements
