Agreed.

Why would the percentage of political commentators matter. Yellow is the first stage on integral, so they integrate politics, science and religion. You might find yellow people who comments on politics but not a straight up yellow political commentator. Alexander Bard and Andrew Sweeny are great yellow thinkers who talk a lot about the transition from industrial to informational/digital. Highly recommend

I dont know if orange dominated but it definitely permeated the western world with oranges values. Abolishment of slavery, freedom of religion, individual thought and so on. According to Kens estimate the west will reach that 10% yellow tipping point in 10-15 years. The paradigm shift from the industrial age to the the informational/digital age will probably get messy. Most estimates that I've seen is 5-10 percent yellow

I have to agree that capitalism is obsolete. We dont need marketing and advertising anymore. AI will probably replace all that, since it knows much better and more accurately what we want.

This list of historical developments and events, from spiraldynamicsnl, is amazing. Unfortunately it only covers Europe and the Us to some extent. It would be great to have a similar list of the rest of the world, especially Asia(middle east, China, India). Please share any historical period or event along with stage color! Blue Highlights: Feudal Middle Ages, rise of cities and forming of nations and countries. Orange Highlights: Renaissance, Golden Age, Enlightenment, Industrial Revolution, post-war reconstruction after World War II and the global development in ICT. Green Highlights: Romance, existentialism, flower power, societal renewal in the sixties and the New Age movement.

Highly recommend Strauss-Howe generational theory if you're interrested in these topics. Four turnings: The high, The Awakening, The unraveling, The crisis. Four archetypes:Prophet, Nomad, Hero, Artist Here are some outtakes from the wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss–Howe_generational_theory Turnings While writing Generations, Strauss and Howe described a theorized pattern in the historical generations they examined, which they say revolved around generational events which they call turnings. In Generations, and in greater detail in The Fourth Turning, they describe a four-stage cycle of social or mood eras which they call "turnings". The turnings include: "The High", "The Awakening", "The Unraveling" and "The Crisis".[31] High According to Strauss and Howe, the First Turning is a High, which occurs after a Crisis. During The High, institutions are strong and individualism is weak. Society is confident about where it wants to go collectively, though those outside the majoritarian center often feel stifled by the conformity.[38] According to the authors, the most recent First Turning in the US was the post–World War II American High, beginning in 1946 and ending with the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963.[39] Awakening According to the theory, the Second Turning is an Awakening. This is an era when institutions are attacked in the name of personal and spiritual autonomy. Just when society is reaching its high tide of public progress, people suddenly tire of social discipline and want to recapture a sense of "self-awareness", "spirituality" and "personal authenticity". Young activists look back at the previous High as an era of cultural and spiritual poverty.[40] Strauss & Howe say the US's most recent Awakening was the “Consciousness Revolution,” which spanned from the campus and inner-city revolts of the mid-1960s to the tax revolts of the early 1980s.[41] Unraveling According to Strauss and Howe, the Third Turning is an Unraveling. The mood of this era they say is in many ways the opposite of a High: Institutions are weak and distrusted, while individualism is strong and flourishing. The authors say Highs come after Crises, when society wants to coalesce and build and avoid the death and destruction of the previous crisis. Unravelings come after Awakenings, when society wants to atomize and enjoy.[42] They say the most recent Unraveling in the US began in the 1980s and includes the Long Boom and Culture War.[31] Crisis According to the authors, the Fourth Turning is a Crisis. This is an era of destruction, often involving war or revolution, in which institutional life is destroyed and rebuilt in response to a perceived threat to the nation's survival. After the crisis, civic authority revives, cultural expression redirects towards community purpose, and people begin to locate themselves as members of a larger group.[43] The authors say the previous Fourth Turning in the US began with the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and climaxed with the end of World War II. The G.I. Generation (which they call a Hero archetype, born 1901 to 1924) came of age during this era. They say their confidence, optimism, and collective outlook epitomized the mood of that era.[44] The authors assert the Millennial Generation (which they also describe as a Hero archetype, born 1982 to 2004) show many similar traits to those of the G.I. youth, which they describe as including: rising civic engagement, improving behavior, and collective confidence.[45] The four archetypes Prophet Prophet (Idealist) generations enter childhood during a High, a time of rejuvenated community life and consensus around a new societal order. Prophets grow up as the increasingly indulged children of this post-Crisis era, come of age as self-absorbed young crusaders of an Awakening, focus on morals and principles in midlife, and emerge as elders guiding another Crisis.[59] Examples: Transcendental Generation, Missionary Generation, Baby Boomers. Nomad Nomad (Reactive) generations enter childhood during an Awakening, a time of social ideals and spiritual agendas, when young adults are passionately attacking the established institutional order. Nomads grow up as under-protected children during this Awakening, come of age as alienated, post-Awakening young adults, become pragmatic midlife leaders during a Crisis, and age into resilient post-Crisis elders.Examples: Gilded Generation, Lost Generation, Generation X Hero Young adults fighting in World War II were born in the early part of the 20th century, like PT109 commander LTJG John F. Kennedy (b. 1917). They are part of the G.I. Generation, which follows the Hero archetype. Hero (Civic) generations enter childhood during an Unraveling, a time of individual pragmatism, self-reliance, and laissez-faire. Heroes grow up as increasingly protected post-Awakening children, come of age as team-oriented young optimists during a Crisis, emerge as energetic, overly-confident midlifers, and age into politically powerful elders attacked by another Awakening.[59] Examples: Republican Generation, G.I. Generation, Millennials Artist Artist (Adaptive) generations enter childhood during a Crisis, a time when great dangers cut down social and political complexity in favor of public consensus, aggressive institutions, and an ethic of personal sacrifice. Artists grow up overprotected by adults preoccupied with the Crisis, come of age as the socialized and conformist young adults of a post-Crisis world, break out as process-oriented midlife leaders during an Awakening, and age into thoughtful post-Awakening elders.[59] Examples: Progressive Generation, Silent Generation, Zoomer Generation

Just saw the Remeber the Titans video. Great Film, great channel!

Swedish philosopher Alexander Bard have some really interesting ideas on a post capitalistic society.

Didn't call it stupid. I merely agreed with a yellow discription of green limitation. Green says "nothing is absolute, everything is relative". But that statement in and of itself is absolute.

This sound very much like yellow perspective on green.

What does forced diversuty mean exactly?

I questioned you're statement that history is unimportant, which I dont agree with. In my mind history is more important than ever.But if you dont want to read history, dont do it.

It's neither boring nor unimportant. It improves you're understanding of society and contemporary times substantially. If someone want's to understand which direction society is going than history is crucial.

The interesting thing about history isn't merely facts, but how those facts connects to today. A great place to start would be picking something that you're already interested in, and then add history. For example: * Film history * Music history(modern, ancient) * American history * History of spirituality * History of technology * History of internet * history of humanity * History of food * History of war * African History * history of clothes and fashion * history of video games and the list goes on and on...

@r0ckyreed Peter Ralston is by far the best spiritual teacher that I've come across. You might wanna check out his trilogy 1. The book of not knowing( crucial, crucial, crucial for spiritual development) 2. Pursuing Consciousness 3. The genius of being He got some stuff on youtube, and especially this interview series that Leo did is great introduction to Peter Ralston If you're interested in the future, how internet is and will transform society I can recommend one of my favorites, swedish philosopher, Alexander Bard.

Wow tough choice! My father is from Sderot, and I've visited my family there during war times. Rocket attacks 5-10 times a day so an israeli defense is unfortunately and definitely necassary. Maybe you can do intelligence, or information security or something like that?

Depends on what you want to learn? Mostly youtube, wikipedia, google, books.

No, there's a big right wing conservative shift coming in Sweden in the 2020s, which is a good thing. We have toxic green all over the place(school, media, government) and they have ignored so many practical issues for so long and instead relied on idealism.

No, I've definitely stopped trying to "fix" people. Most people seem not too interested in nuances. I have a lot of green in my family and around me. What they generally lack , and what comes with yellow, is the ability to do comparative analysis, so nuances are not useful.

That felt pretty authentic to me. Why is it completely inconceivable to most people, that even Trump is capable of at least some empathy? I mean the realm of possibility is infinite, so rarer things have probably happened

Sorry, I was a bit unclear. I was talking about the Swedish public sector.

Yeah, it has gone waay beyond absurdity at this point.

Man, 12 euros? If the swedish gestapo would have catch you it would be 500-1500 dollars.

It plays a huge part. The swedish left have been completely unwilling to talk about immigration, cultural differences and how it might effect the country. They hide behind "saving the climate"! Being half middle eastern myself the cultural differences has always been obvious to me. And since I was like thirteen I realized that it will all go to shit because the gigant swedish middle class would rather maintain a facade of Sweden being a moral superpower than facing facts which are "covered" with enormous taboos.

Agreed. To me it looks like the whole tax funded public sector is in a state of collective psychosis ready to collapse.
