I can understand that. Complicates things when you offer the kid's friend pork or something, or maybe feed them later than they'd normally eat at night. But what I had in mind was more adult culture.

You'd think, with the average person being a quarter millionaire, Norwegians would have developed a culture of generosity?? And I'm not talking about gross fermented fish bread left underground or something. I'd expect caviar sushi or something good if I ever visited a Norwegian. Yet they give nothing.

This style of music focuses entirely on the vocalist and her performance. Any deeper meaning is unintentional, imo. Music doesn't get much more generic than this.

I wasn't joking, lol. Toxic Orange mindset right here. No one asked to be born. Life is forced upon us. If you want to force everyone to work to live, then you better provide legal suicide booths in every city, and somehow find a way to eliminate trauma for all affected by the suicides. Each person on average contributes something like a few million to the economy during their lifetime. People are profitable. Why do you think suicide is illegal? You're killing the government's livestock by committing suicide. Is Trump less lazy than OP? He's lazier than the lowest paid members of society, yet somehow he gets a pass because he's rich and successful in the eyes of Oranges. If you actually looked at the effort rich people have to put into their work, it's not much different to a homeless person sitting on a street holding a cup.

Orange is survival-based. Survival in terms of status, money, etc. Yellow is not. Yellows may often have some Orange still left to work out, but Yellow, by itself, isn't focused on its own survival. An Orange musician would figure out what kind of music is most popular and would make him the most money to work on. A Yellow musician would just want to explore music, understand how it works, experiment with new techniques, and make music that maybe doesn't even have an audience yet. Money/success isn't even part of the picture. If it's not viable, then the Yellow will just intuitively know this. It's really very simple. When someone is secure, they naturally stop worrying about gaining security. Such people really do exist. Tier 2s.

Saw an annoying post on reddit today suggesting trains are the future. Everyone over there seemed to think that trains really are the solution and self-driving electric cars are nonsense. I can't hold everyone to the standards of an ENTP??, but trains are such an idiotic replacement for self-driving cars, I just have no words. I believe I've considered every solution imaginable, so I have my own strong opinions on this. But I do want to hear from others.

I don't think it's that simple. Some people just don't want to contribute to a broken system that benefits the few unfairly. This is something people commonly go through at stage Green. As most people have never reached Green, they will be tempted to just assume it's laziness. Careful with giving advice above your stage. Find something you enjoy. If you like the idea of growing your own food, then maybe consider doing some plant related job or YouTube channel or something. If you hate work, then that's a perfect opportunity for you to overcome your weaknesses. Sooner or later you'll manifest something that works for you. Don't worry about it. Just stay confident and positive. The only real solution is UBI. It's coming in a few decades. Once we're in the automation age jobs won't even be needed, but until then, we need to reduce BS jobs that contribute nothing to society (e.g. most receptionist jobs, most data analyst jobs, most marketing jobs, most middle-man job). We need to get rid of welfare, and any other inefficient bureaucratic programs, and replace it with UBI. When we got computers, that simplified/automated most jobs, yet somehow the number of jobs only kept increasing. As technology improves, the number of jobs increases. This is a man-made problem. People see an opportunity for more jobs, and they see it as a good thing as it means more people can "make a living", but that's BS. The only reason jobs are seen as a good thing is because we still have no UBI, and sensors/Blues are too short-sighted to imagine a world without jobs. Once we have UBI, companies will be forced to either offer 100k starting salaries, and/or they'll automate wherever possible. The only jobs available will be actual/real jobs that matter, make a difference, and are worth the 100k+ salaries to the companies.

The whole "mediocrity is a problem. Aim higher. Be better" thing is 100% Orange. It's an Orange rejection of Blue. Yellow cared about progress, but with a completely different mindset. It's not about overcoming mediocrity or personal achievement. But about discovery, awareness, understanding, and leading. Not leading in a "be the alpha" "be the leader" Orange BS kinda way, but in a "I'm literally the only one who can show them the way, so I will help", completely detached from any personal benefit/success this may bring. Sure, to kids/teenagers. It's important to develop a strong and healthy ego, and everyone has to go through an arrogant phase, imo. But we call all that stage Orange, and this is meant to be a TIer 2 forum. Awesome quote. That's actually one of my main motivations in life. My whole personality revolves around proving to people how hard work and taking life seriously is pointless. Everything I do is nonsensical, and contrary to the logic of sensors and most traditional people in general. It's the most obvious thing to me, but everyone I know is in a deep struggle for no reason. Even the Greens I know are so stressed and serious.. And the Yellows I know still largely struggle with love and going with the flow.

This is the most Orange insight I've ever seen on this forum. Right up there with.. "Grab 'em by the pussy" and "No pain no gain.

The only reason we're having problems with scooters is because of slow Blue bureaucracy. You think the 50 year old sensors in power give a shit about e-scooters? Or actually doing any work towards legalizing and regulating them? They're the same people who think that vaping medicinal weed warrants a jail sentence. All the university degrees, decades of experience, millions in bribes/salaries, and the old farts in power are this useless. My Ne ideas aren't the problem ..it's those guys. Sure. But it all depends on the whims of the politicians, and public support. Why did Elon start out with luxury electric cars, and only later started producing more budget-friendly ones? Cause whatever he starts with becomes associated with the technology. The only reason Teslas are trendy among the upper-middle class is because Elon started by producing luxury electric cars and now electrics are associated with luxury. With drones it will be the same. If the first mass-produced drones are safe, convenient, easy to control, and easy to force regulation-conformity, then the politicians would have a hard time placing BS bans on drones. And if the public has a good first impression, and drones gain momentum among the rich, then they'll quickly become unstoppable. Cars have airbags. Why wouldn't drones have parachutes? Even if you're buying some state-of-the-art parachute system it's not gonna be that expensive compared to the rest of the drone. £100 would probably pay for a parachute that's good enough if produced by the drone company. And a £1000-£3000 parachute would surely do the job if regulation calls for guaranteed safety. Until the tech's mature, could also limit drones to only fly above roads, and non-pedestrian areas.

Finally people are starting to listen to me. Go over a dozen generations of prototypes. Mass produce it. Maybe experiment with upright version. Make helipads ubiquitous. Regulate it. Automate it. Sell it for 10k-20k each. And that's 90% of transport solved.

Yes, of course. Ideally we'd design cities in interlinking hexagons or something, like this. But it's unrealistic to think you'll never need to travel outside your residential area. What if there's a nice park on the other side of the city? Even 1000 years in the future all regions won't be the same. People will want all essentials within a 5m walk, but countries/cities will still want to be rich in diversity.

Wondering is anyone else experiences this. Every time I realize what I am and where I am I get this distinct feeling of euphoria. It's like I'm playing hide and seek with myself and, when I find me, we both get elated and start laughing. It's all me, but it's like I can be both my ego and my higher self / god at the same time. When this happens I suddenly feel like I've gone insane, but also like I've never been happier.

??? Share multiple if you want. I probably have like a dozen I consider 10/10.

Nah, too expensive to build tunnels in literally every single town/city in the world. Only practical for NYC/LA/London/Tokyo/etc. We have so much free space in the sky. Why not just use that. No matter how well you design a city, if it's big then you'll need transport occasionally. Cars are rarely necessary for a single person going to work. But the world has a stupid car culture and doesn't care about finding alternatives. The majority of cars on the road could be gotten rid of if we just used e.g. e-scooters where possible. And where cars are necessary, we could have single person cars which don't need traditional car infrastructure. There are many potential solutions. But until the rest of the world develops, such optimization will never be taken seriously. Why make things better when 90% of the world is living in poverty.. The world is still focused on survival, and flawless systems are an unimportant luxury. Without Elon, we'd still be decades away from electric and self-driving cars. The world just doesn't value this stuff yet.

Umm, no, no you did not.

Alive/dead aren't useful distinctions here. Consciousness is immortal. Birth is a belief. Creation means using things to create new things. But we're talking about source here, and source couldn't have been created. Anything that was created can't be source. Source/God doesn't need anything like that. There being a process, a beginning, an end, are all human concepts/beliefs. God isn't human, and you can't understand it with conventional human/Blue logic. Take away your assumptions about reality, and suddenly concepts of no time, no process, no structure, no birth, no death, etc. become simple. God/infinity was always there. You won't find it on a timescale.

The test for Asperger's is less exhaustive than your average MBTI test. Unless you're literally disabled and can't read facial expressions, then I'd say completely disregard the idea. It's far more useful to understand how you actually function, e.g. by learning cognitive functions. Literally ALL INTPs would be considered autistic by any psychologist looking for autistic traits in you.

Good stuff. But I think he may be biased a bit. Greater awareness doesn't necessarily means greater awareness of others' suffering. Awareness can go in any direction, and it doesn't have to be other people's emotions. You can tell suffering people to fuck off, and that's not gonna be any less enlightened of a reaction.

Full Title: How Do Personalities of the Same MBTI Type Differ Between Stages? You know I had to do it.. it's the ultimate question. Is INTJ just another word for "Orange Autist", or is there ..more??? This has never been done before. No website/resource has ever correlated MBTI with SD. So I thought it's worth trying. 7 SD types x 16 MBTI types = too much work, so just share any observations you've made. I'll start. Reference: ? = Contested MBTI (if others disagree with your typing, or there's not enough data to come to be sure). * = "Really just an educated guess". Feel free to use the template provided at the bottom?? Try to use a "descending order" where you can (e.g. last Orange in row = "least advanced Orange" or just unsure.) What to share: Doesn't have to be just people. Can be traits, professions, or any differences in personality. Whatever you think is representative of the stage-specific differences within the same type. Why?: Just want anything to help form a mental picture of how the two models interact. (E.g. Are INTJs always a specific "way", regardless of stage? Does a Turquoise INTJ still resemble an INTJ? Are any types/functions correlated with specific stages?) XXXX: Turquoise: Yellow: Green: Orange: Blue: Red: Purple:

Dr Who.. Orange?? I think he'd be more focused on upgrading his tech, and maybe would automate more of his problem solving if he was Orange. He comes close to death in every episode, yet still carries no weapons and no handheld teleportation device. He seems Blue in the way he approaches most things, but I'd say likely Green overall as his perspective on the universe is still pretty advanced. Batman seems Blue with a lot of Red to me. Angela Merkel.. yeah, but I'd say unhealthy Green. Or a Green with a complete rejection of Yellow. Tesla.. Nikola Tesla? Orange for sure. Only looks Yellow as he was a smart INTJ. Tesla the company? Upper Green, I'd say. Never heard of Damien.

L-Leo who?!?!?! I don't know any Leos!!

Can you think of any example of who does this?
