That’s the core of it. You so smart

Yup. It isn't defined well in these conversations because it actually can't be well-defined. The definitions are necessarily functional and not philosophically rigorous. Gender roles are perfect for showcasing this ambiguity. Can gender roles be authentic? That's a whole can of worms.

A ton. Much of my book answers the question "what do romantic relationships look like after you've deconstructed gender roles?" Or in other words, post-SD Green relationships. This naturally brings up many questions around authenticity.

Yes! It's a useful distinction when one is learning to individuate themselves from the collective conformity of lower stages of development. But ultimately, authenticity as a concept also needs to be deconstructed.

Speculation seems to be that things are heading for a mistrial.

Certainly useful for developing basic STEM competence. But, I found the best part of university to be all the additional autonomy. That autonomy allowed me to start taking philosophy seriously for the first time.

Sure, but I wouldn't call that the core defining characteristic. All of that is more of a downstream consequence of multi-perspectivalism.

Yellow is not about accuracy of models, it's a meta-orientation towards all models, paradigms and perspectives. If you think you have something, show me what you're talking about.

I don’t grant that you have greater predictive ability or understanding of human psychology.

100%. I learn from everyone here. The book is coming out very soon, so I will likely be sharing more about it.

You could be born with a predisposition that helps you develop into Yellow. That's not a contradiction. But a predisposition you are born with is definitely not equivalent to Yellow development by itself.

Development ain't an equal opportunity endeavor. There are many factors that give people developmental advantages and disadvantages.

Yellow is primarily about radical multi-perspectivalism, even beyond the pluralism of Orange / Green. This is not at all something humans are just born with.

I do have a different way of thinking about it, but these are good points. I appreciate the feedback.

You'll have to read my book and decide for yourself. That is not my conclusion.
