Also a good video by Destiny, shows how difficult it is to maintain a perspective from tier 2:

Working being stage yellow systems thinking. I'm floating somewhere between stage orange and green.

This is a pretty good example of some self awareness, and rationale used properly, with some tier 2 cognition:

When I said that Destiny has a western bias and tier 1 takes, I'm referring to videos like this and related. A tier 2 cognitively predominant individual would not be making absolute statements like these without fully explaining each point of view viewing this situation: The internet and debatebrosphere has also impaired his ability to read real books at length too. Again, learn what is useful and modal that, and learn what isn't and avoid.

@Someone here

I have also discovered an amazing video. It'll make anyone's day:

This is one of many example of someone who's at tier 1 cognition compared to Destiny, who's not quite at tier 2. Although this is used to compare and contrast in a somewhat negative light of tier 1, this man has happened to find his LP, and is a very talented YouTube horror reactionary, so good that he sometimes hurts himself playing and reacting to scary games and jump scares, this is some of his videos.

@Kksd74628 He seems to not like philosophers though.

@zurew In videos where Destiny gives he's take on the Russian/Ukraine conflict, he gave a more western biased view about the situation, and I haven't seen that he was able to explain the situation from the Russian perspective. He even demonized a philosopher, who's giving a more nuanced and stage yellow take on that situation. It seems like Destiny doesn't like philosophical people.

@Carl-Richard I hope you realize this was clipped out of context, right?

@Dryas Sure, in which case he could have given a balanced take on the Russia/Ukraine conflict. It's not a binary, where you are only tier 1 or tier 2 cognition. Most people are stuck at tier 1, some are at tier 2, some are predominantly at either, and some have qualities of both.

@zurew Plus, he has a reductionist/deduction like worldview as well, which will also act as a filter for how he interprets data.

@Kksd74628 Not necessarily. Just because he argues and debates very well, doesn't make him tier 2. The question is, Is Destiny both aware of the limits of arguing, and is he willing to acknowledge how deeply limiting that frame work is, and that he put himself into a sunk cost fallacy? The degree to which he is capable and willing to answer that question honestly, is the degree of how much tier 2 cognition he really has.

@Dryas There's no clear cut evolution from tier 1 to tier 2 cognition. Destiny's just really good at debating, and explaining in a hyper logical fashion what and why your point of view is right or wrong. This can give a false impression that you are at tier 2. If he was at tier 2, he would have actually been able to explain, in a non-triggered and non-partisan way, the Russia/Ukriane conflict, and how each can be resolved in an ideal way.

Another great video, told from their point of view:

@kray There's no such explicit code of conduct, not just for black communities, but for all other communities out there, with the exceptions of behaviors that hurt others. They are largely implicit, and depends on which group you feel comfortable belonging in. Some groups I vibe with, others I don't, in this way it's only natural. As long as you're read the guidelines, and watch what you say, you can almost discuss any topic, as long as you are curious and act courteous to others here, factoring in differences in worldviews, value systems, personalities, cognitive and moral differences, and life experiences, in non-judgmental fashion.

@Romanov That's a good post you're written. To just pull it back a bit to the beginning so that we can talk more about your ideas, could you tell me what you define postmodernism, individualism and collectivism as? And what connects the three ideas together?

I will post the two videos below, and I suggest you watch them as you are, with your current biases, and just notice any reaction you have for either video. Observe the similarities and differences carefully: and

@JuliusCaesar I'm assuming most who read these are adults, and some younger or older. Language might not capture reality exactly, but language can be a building point to better conceptualization, so I'm constructing these definitions, to make you and others build this into your minds too, clear distinctions before going deeper. I just see some people really struggle to make sense of Crysty, whether to call her a spirit, or a ghost, or an alien, or an imaginary friend, and so on. I'll on occasion do this in the future as well.

I will take the bait and make an assertion in this trap. I think you are a woman, if you have nice curvy butt and chest, and be emotionally mature and healthy, can handle children tantrums and be compassionate, and passionate, like passion fruit, live a passionate life through the passages of time. This is my take, and if you are and have many differences, it won't bother me, nor will I externalize this take and push my take into your face. Just know, this is my internal, deeper framing of what a woman is. @Gesundheit2 That's what I've been harping on in this thread, what is a man? What are children? What are the elderly? Or what is a human being? You all are way too focused on women. Try to think outside the box. What is a grass hopper? A grass that hops over the picket fence, because the grass is greener on the other side.

As a cautionary tale, to those whose life purpose is to make films in whatever way. Don't be like these examples:

Interesting take from Destiny and PIKE guy:

So, are we anywhere near answer the question of what's a real woman?

I will be posting videos of contrasting points of view, to help you notice any tier 1 cognitive blind spots on your end, and to help you develop to tier 2 cognition, of noticing these tier 1 patterns of behavior. By doing these very strong contrasts, engaging your comparing and contrasting ability, you may develop an awareness of how you also can get sucked into that type of thinking. Enjoy!

@Pavement An even better question, is what a real man is? Or a real human being is for that matter? Unfortunately, these questions are mostly asked by tier 1 cognitive people, so there's a huge distortion and bias with framing these questions.
