@Preety_India I can understand why blue people might think they are green, it fits their moralistic worldview. Anyway, where not to find Green: India, China, the middle east, Africa, South America, Russia.

@Preety_India Lol, you're deluding yourself if you think India can switch from stage blue to stage green in one generation.

My guess is that you're confusing stage blue with stage green, including in yourself.

@Preety_India There's very little green in India. It's too underdeveloped.

Apart from right-wingers/libertarians who are rushing to escape, because they believe Cali is in decline and taxes are too high.

@Johnny Galt I call bullshit. There's no way in hell that China will officially adopt any crypto that is not 100% state-controlled.

Quite a stage red thing to say

I've personally always been pretty introverted and comfortable being alone, but humans are still social creatures. I recommend finding some interests and seeing if there are any events or groups you can join with those interests.

@Charlotte Green people have ideology. It's at yellow when you start realising your own biases and stop judging other stages.

The interesting thing about that is the recent exodus out of California towards states like Texas. It's stage orange people who are disillusioned by how green California is.

I agree, definitely stage green, not turquoise.

Primary: 1.1 Secondary: 1.8

This forum is one place @itachi uchiha What country are you from?

@modmyth Yeah it's very unhealthy. Maybe one day they will realise these limitations.

I agree with this. My base case scenario is that bitcoin will become some sort of store of value, but won't change the world into a libertarian paradise as most bitcoiners believe. By 2030 you might be buying property on the blockchain Perhaps you'll be using Ethereum to do that, or the estate agent will.

@Johnny Galt I've already gone over so much evidence on all sides, that it's just tiring now. Countering your points is a waste of time, because you're too ignorant and closed-minded to listen.

Tonight I did an experiment. I stared at myself intensely in the mirror and imagined the being in the mirror as a separate being from myself that I created. I had a sudden intense sensation and the being in the mirror started to get darker and I literally saw a flash of an incredibly evil being staring back at me. I quickly turned away because it terrified me so much, so who knows what would have happened if I kept going deeper. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Is this all in my head, or do you think I really saw what I saw? Just to clarify, I wasn't on any psychedelics or drugs of any kind. It was during normal consciousness, but it felt like I entered a slightly different state of consciousness for a brief moment.

@Johnny Galt @AlterEgo Please stop

@Philipp Inflation is basically a tax yes, but these people are also the type of people who would say "tax is theft" too. It took me a long time to realise this, but the hardcore bitcoin believers are basically in a cult. Paradoxically I still believe in it as an investment, I just don't think it achieves the same thing as what the cultists believe.

@nistake That's certainly a possibility, I wouldn't discount it.

Very well-educated people with PHDs are more likely to be yellow IMO. Obviously most still aren't, many are still stage orange, but you increase your odds drastically. Look for people that study a LOT, either academically, or who read tons of nonfiction books. The most important thing is they must be learning for the sake of learning, for the curiosity of it all, not just for money.

In my view, Japan is the perfect case study of the folly of this philosophy. You would think that Japanese citizens would be materially the wealthiest citizens in the world given their crazy work ethic and strict discipline. Yet they are not, their GDP per capita is below that of most of Scandinavia, who work much fewer hours, have less strict discipline, and savour life more. Clearly, there are limits to strict hierarchies in terms of outcomes, and when societies hit these limits and realise these limits they shift more towards stage orange freedom.

@meta_male That sounds really similar! You're right mate, I need to grow some balls and look deeper. That's quite mind-opening actually. We all see ourselves with layers of conception based on all the indoctrination of society and our "human" lens. Perhaps for a brief moment, all the conception disappeared and I was just experiencing myself as experience.

My guess is that you managed to detach yourself from your ego whilst on the psychedelics, so you saw yourself how you really are. I had an experience recently where my appearance changed in the mirror, but it was probably different to your experience as I hadn't taken any psychedelics.

I'm really hung up on this one. If God is absolute infinity, and God is all possible imaginations of reality, then surely it must hold true that there must be alternative universes with different laws of physics? Or even concepts that we could not even fathom with our tiny human minds? And if that is true, then it must not be possible to access these universes from this universe, because by doing so we'd have to break our own laws of physics in order to enter a universe with different laws of physics. Another possibility in my mind is that I've got this all wrong, and all of reality is literally just my own direct existence in the present moment. So everything outside of my existence is non existence, and therefore there is only this universe which I am imagining right now? But this seems to be a paradox to absolute infinity. How can only my present experience exist, whilst absolute infinity exists?
