Yeah that's a great video

Can I ask you a question? Did you read much as a child or barely at all? I barely read entire books as a child so I had a lot of problems with reading in my teenage years. Only thing that worked for me is to keep reading for years and it got a lot better in time. Oh and maybe reading more actively can help too. Try underlining passages that resonate with you or seem important. This helps.

Thank God you were

Oleg Byonic has great music for contemplation imo

I don't know very much about Teddy Roosevelt to place him anywhere on the Spiral. But I found this speech he supposedly gave quite inspiring. I wanna say this is healthy Orange. Or maybe it's healthy Blue. Either way there is little healthy Orange in this subforum here at all. So here's something.

Does he finally get it?

When reading his books I'm underlying a whole lot because he makes really great points. And then I read that Florida is way higher on the scale than California (he ranks it as the lowest state in terms of consciousness) He's definitely biased towards conservatism. But when it comes to epistemology and spirituality in general he's quite wise.

By the way Warnock will be the first black senator in the state and the first democratic senator in about 20 years

Amazing

Yeah indeed, although it took my entire life to get to that point That's also why I say she's not completely Blue at this point. But I just found the conversation interesting because I realized there was nothing I could do to change her mind. So I shared this as a personal example for that reason. And I really see it more as healthy Blue because she's open to me finding my own way (which has gotten me to the freedom I have today) but yet she still cannot grasp that "seeking truth" is of higher value than being a good Christian.

Conversation I had with my mom Mom: I'm happy you're trying to find your own way, but I really wish you were a Christian. Me: Would you not much rather have me seek the truth? Mom: I should have read you from the Bible more when you were young. Me: So you would much rather have me become a Christian than seek the truth? Mom: Jesus Christ is the truth. What do you think it is? Me: I don't know. I'm seeking it. Mom: Okay. But I really wish you were a Chrisitian. She's actually more like Stage Orange with a tiny bit of Green. But religious conversations really show her blueness. I've actually had many conversations about religion with her over the years but I've learned that when people have had a certain worldview their entire lives it's nearly impossible for them to change it.

I watched some progressive channels react to this, but wanted to share it because of how absurd this is. It's almost as if PragerU is trying to attract white suppremacists.

@Vrubel You are correct. Racism was the norm back then. But we should not ever praise the statues quo. We should praise the ones who dared to challenge it (in the name of progress and love only of course) So yeah, John Brown would be the hero who deserves the statue. And yes the video is historically accurate. But remember it's trying to convey an argument as to why he deserves a statue, and then does the opposite. And they also frame someone like John Brown as a radical abolitionist, whilst appearantly praising the person who killed him. PragerU has shown their true colors once again.

Humanity survived the Ice Age ffs And that was when we were still small in numbers and had competition from Neanderthals

https://spiraldynamics.net You can read he supported the "GOP candidate" here on the homepage. That's Trump.

Aren't where psychedelics can take you still limited by your hardware? I don't think their potential is unlimited. But if I'm wrong I wonder why.

Try microdosing LSD or edibles weed

The Republican Jesus But seriously, that laywer should be prosecuted

Interesting video about how the color blue did not exist for many ancient cultures.
