Syria in 2000-2009 had a lot of SD stage orange. In blue society its not very common to see unveiled women and mixed university, when that is normal in Syria. I would say Syria that I know had a strong blue foundation and peaks at Orange. Assad was not against openness and was less crazy although ruling as a dictator. The levant is different then the rest of the middle-east in general, Idk if SD can explain it neatly.

I didn’t mean it’s hard to see it’s nonsense, and it’s not media people I’m saying Imagine someone like your own mentor Ralston starts saying shit like that, I wouldn’t know but I imagine you’d be so surprised you’d start questioning yourself. At least with RFK a 10 years old can tell he’s got some screws loose.

I’m with you on this, but it is so damn tough to face the claims of vaccines killing millions (?) of people and causing this and that, and Bill Gates being behind it and crap like that from people I consider my heros. I don’t even know if I should go into that rabbit hole just to check their claims for myself.

In these situations, how do we know whats true? I know I should probably watch your video on that again, but I’ve seen seriously developed people speak about these conspiracies, it’s not just people that look wonky like RFK. Do you think a video about vaccines and Covid is worth while?

I don’t see this in pacifism with Green, but would you unpack the number 1. For me ? Also I think people are confused cause no one here shares how stage yellow works and thinks in small steps and 1-1 conversations in some thread or something, so you only have your own experience of how you moved through a level, I think it will be the most useful content here if it was done for every stage with serious effort.

@Fearey If he goes all the way it will be dark, we are talking about people that want to sell democracy for cheap, like it will literally have to involve blood and civil war before people start waking up, he might even go after the celebrities who appose full decorator mode. It’s going to be a serious system challenge to the US. Joe Biden was holding it together I swear to god.

It doesn't have to be an invasion, it could be losing something dear to you like a job a family member or you kid's education, maybe some serious collapse of some sort in government, I mean what can we expect from the person that incited Jan 6th? basically the theory is when someone shows you that you seriously fucked up by trusting them or shows you a deep flaw in your character that invites you to change it, it has to be painful either way, maybe the same can be said to liberals and progressives too basically the whole country.

But isn’t Trump a millionaire himself ? He is a gang like figure and people like to vote to their level of developmental (there are also multiple or other reasons). I think I read that you mentioned you are form the UK. The thing is, you all are saints probably even the worst of you compared to the worst of the US. You all have been to wars and serious development like most nations have, The US have not had serious system threat and Trump is the worst way to put pressure on the system, equal to training how to handle a sword with an actual sword.

Hey @Emerald love you content on YT! Awesome stuff! If I can offer my view as relatively new American citizen, what I see in the US is as an imbalance is Hyper individualism, lack of connection (connecting to people is a feminine thing) and lack of empathy. This goes for many people not necessarily one group and not the other. There need to be a culture shift. Idk what’s my role though, Idk if I need the opposite, but I generally feel an urge to expand and know, so for me it could be about finding my way to balance.

@integration journey was just going to post this. The damn thing is even if prices tripled it won’t affect his image. Though I want to see how people who cry about “The real faciast democrats!” and who complain about inflation feel if this takes effect.

@Scholar @zurew I dont understand how he would endorse Trump other than he’s just trying to be/look anti-woke. Is not stupid that people like Lex, Russell brand, Joe rogan would be so bothered by the left that they’d go for the clearly insane alternative?

@Spiral Wizard I’ve always considered my self orange-green when I get asked where do you place yourself on SD, even though I understand Yellow and keep seeing more and more of it. However the problem I think with how you put it is that most people don’t have the luxury to go full green - it’s literally just the last phase I need to be in to fully be at green. One teacher that I really trust mentioned that Jean Gebser- one of the first to create a developmental map before SD and Ken Wilber’s integral framework- thought that It’s possible for people to skip levels, much like a kinesthetically talented child might skip stages in learning to walk. This doesn’t mean they didn’t learn; they just progress so naturally that it seems as if they bypassed earlier stages. I think It’s problematic to say you gotta go all they way or now way.

@Leo Gura I wrote this yesterday I was spot on > ok I see so you think of approaching as if it it’s golf or learning to draw or skate, which means you are thinking about it with detachment. I think it could be that I don’t look at it objectively like that, it’s isn’t like “screw it I’ll fall of the skateboard a 1000 times before I can do a double flip” I get lost in thinking there is much at stake which doesn’t make it fun. so how do you get into that mindset? This is not talked about explicitly and this is actually much needed to make pick up work. which is why I feel a disconnect when I hear about approaching 2000 women. Drawing is very fun for me, I can draw a 1000 not so good sketches and not even feel anything about it. So the question is How do I make the jump form that to pick up?

Leo has not budged on this, the numbers he give is not normal in my reality. Idk if I have even met a 1000 women in my life, and I’ve worked with many women.

it wasn’t a short memory cramming. It lasted something like 5 months and it was the finals so I had already studied the material before. It was just forceful, I glued my head to books, I didn’t know any better. This can happen in the gym or when when learning anything, learning properly with some theory is what works. Thats why I asked How can I apply this to game ? Like what different things I can do ?

what does that look like? I was going to ask when does spewing words in-front of random girls start paying dividends ? I guess it’s exposure, and it’s important, but I learned a lesson form a time in my life where I locked myself with textbooks to get a better grade in a major exam. Didn’t do better than others who studied normally. I just forced it and it wasn’t the best approach. This sounds familiar somehow, I only learned better studying techniques later where I could have used them and got great results. I hope this can be applied to game.

I’ll check it out. I don’t necessarily get hurt for being rejected, it’s more the emotional exhaustion of rambling words and then having to do this with another 9 women just to warm up. it’s like carrying a camera and filming yourself in public, Idk some people can do it, I just don’t know how they turn off the “I give a shit about people around me” circuit in the brain.

I’m generally very good at talking to women and joking, but I that’s when I warm up to a conversation. You sometimes say something like approach 10 girls as warm up. I don’t know if you are built different or just skilled. But these numbers for me show that you have an extreme emotional stability to handled 10 failed approches in one night. The few times I’ve cold approached was hell and very awkward, they were in the day. Yes now when I look at these approches I feel good, but I feel like if I’d approche now it’s still like starting from zero. For example Didn’t get better at coming up with a good line fast or reduced the anxiety of approaching , Is that just how it normally is? You’re the main source I use for dating advice, as I can at least be confident that you are not scamming us and are giving high quality advice, so I honestly want to ask you this not joking or complaining, and honestly looking to get better.

Since Leo’s videos worked for you, I want to ask you this, how did you learn to deal with the fear of a bad encounter or embarrassing yourself? That’s the biggest issue I have, I normally can get positive reaction from women in general, but cold approach is so in the face that I have no idea how it comes off to women, which makes me nervous. Also what are the best places to cold approach? (I assume that you live in the US)

@Leo Gura can it be used to reprogram brian washing or early society or parental programming?

@Husseinisdoingfine good share!

This is a very interesting take. So it’s not that Trump lies, bullshits and play on people’s weak spots to get approval? It’s also being an egotist is what makes someone endorse Trump? I’ve got many family members which I can call egotistical in their lives, but I’ve assumed that they got on the Trump case because he lies about things that tickles their emotions.

@Michael569 when I reflect on what you say, I think I would love to elevate people taste in design, rase their standers so that they demand good graphic design in their “world”. Meaning I want to make good graphic designs that people enjoy. But I want to draw it’s very important for me, which is where the dilemma is.

I'm having this challenge with my LP work; it's in two parts: 1. The ideal medium: when I'm thinking about the ideal medium for me, I find that I love both designing and drawing, but I'm not sure how to pick between them or if I can or should. 2. Impact statement: When I was contemplating my zone of genius, I found that it’s turning imagination and ideas into reality—in effect, communicating feelings, thoughts, and visions. The wording is still not exact, but it can be "into reality" or "into physical reality that can be seen by others," basically creating art from my imagination. However, the zone of impact is larger for me. While doing the exercises, I got a mix of answers: the millions-dollar exercise led me to design and make art, while the speech and life challenge ones led me to guide people to psychedelics. I feel like guiding people to psychedelics through my art and designs is something that I find meaningful. I would love to make art that communicates to people how life-changing psychedelics can be. I also feel passionate about making designs for packages and ads that can be placed in public or at someone’s home or kitchen counter, adding beauty to their lives. Both are legitimate ambitions of mine; I really don’t know which one to go for, but in general, if I use the process of exclusion and thinking in the long term, it feels a bit too constraining to make it my specialty to ONLY make drawings and designs to point people to psychedelics; it seems like a much further goal down the line, while general designs to make people amazed by good art are more expansive, especially if my work is going to be for companies that have a positive impact on people. A big part of what I like about my art is inspiring people by communicating to them emotions and ideas, as well as adding beauty to their lives. I'm not sure how to sum all this up in one impact statement; could the above be my impact statement for now? or is it too vague or not focused?

@Thought Art how is it different from Mastery by George Leonard?
