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.

@Husseinisdoingfine not saying that everything in the world is a script and books are the source of reality, but reading the book Upheaval by Jared Diamond gave me a lot of insights on how nations that suffered serious authoritarians and shit situations managed to later move up in development. It’s a very good book, he says that every nation of these had a sort of an existential crisis the led it to find a way to better development, that’s way Germany for example locked at green because they failed so badly like Leo says. He thinks Trump is the catalyst for the US but god knows what this means and how it will look.

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.

He won more red voters in blue states than any other republican candidates before. People probably voted for him on the bases of him being Republican/conservative the kind that would shut the borders and keep things where it’s at, dismissing or downplaying MAGA’s threat. Which shows that people don’t stope to think/understand the nature of the beast.

Deeply betrayed people will believe anything a devil will tell them. They think Trump is telling the truth and everyone else lies. Trump has no problem abusing these people.

But this paragraph here shows that you don’t understand the model. It’s very new that people are living Green values in mass. Green about expecting all humanity all races all colors all backgrounds. IT IS higher than expecting your tribe or your church community whom are all your own color. These too examples will have a hard time expecting any other which is what trump followers represent. if you were told to work at a store when you are working in an office you’d be pissed. Nothing is wrong about working in a store but you have the right to be pissed.

@Javfly33 using an AI assistant: Plato was critical of democracy particularly because he believed that it could lead to totalitarian rule by those who manipulate the opinions of uneducated citizens. He argued that only a highly educated society could sustain a democracy effectively, as uneducated individuals might make poor decisions in governance.

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.

The corrupt will vote for the corrupt, but how do you explain your left wing friends reaction that you mentioned, and the fact that MAGA are actually handing their lives to a wolf ? Trump will be bad for all, maybe even the worst for his loyal young men and working class with his vision.The fact that these groups elected him is stupidity and gullibleness, this happens when you think with your mind and not have a strong gut feeling that that tells you who is highly likely to screw you up. Reading books is a plus, but you said it yourself it shouldn’t take a genius to see that Trump is pathological liar, yet people actually believe him.

No I know perfectly well it’s a disaster, I was being sarcastic, but at the same time I was writing the comment it came to my mind how foolishness can never be corrected without suffering. The People of the US have never dealt with shady characters in mass, everything here works, everyone is expected to do their jobs, they have not experienced true corruption. So to my own eyes it’s like a kid who’s never seen fire before. You kinda do have to get burnt to start knowing that fire = hurt.
