The image of the end of the Movie Blade Runner ( New Version) came to my mind. That movie may be a little depressing but who to say that the future need necessarialy to be Brilliant? What the Future looks Like to Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis? Well, no body can answer,they are gone -

Will check that. Why you say that anything that takes down the Hegelians and Wilberians is a win? Wilberians refers to Ken Wilber? I checked Delanda Book on GoodReads and sound like a good perspective to see History. This is what I like, new perspectives, because here and there one researcher will eventually have some bias, maybe one forget to take something or other in consideration. For exemple in the Book New Dawn of Everything the writers talk about Bones found in Burials and This specific are decorated with many precious laborious ornaments. The question the writers are debating is if this sort of Burial shows that there was a sense of superiority in this people to be buried like this, so this would be a trace of inequality in pre-historic times. But the writers are aware that we tend to speculate and make our theories fit the findings so they reframe the question: Is not that this burials where special, the questions is that, if was a commom habit, why not to find every one buried like this and not just some rare ones? Antropology is hard work, because there is little material and lot of silence, trying to give voice to bones. Hehe -

Interresting , connect that with the insigth of the Book The Dawn of Everthing- A New History of Everything. Book by the studies of an Archeologist and an Atrophologist. The Narratives of Historical Stages were influenced by the Bias pf each Historian. Some more Hobbean others more Rosseurlian, but the findings in the field are more weird than any linear system can say. Humans in the past had more flexibility in their organizing lifes or economies. Some eras of Anarchy other Eras of Tyrany, etc... Difficult to explain, check the book. But nice video anyway -
Well, I still trying to undersrand if this guy make sense, since every perspective is partial. But is not what he say something we always hear from some Pundits, that we need more productivity and this is the why people have lower standards of living?dont this retoric sounds like slave owners telling slaves that if they produce more one day they will be free and prosperous? What you think. About the Growth of Inequality vs the Growth of Richness to the already Ultra Rich.

Althougt you talk and write to humans, dont you feel sometimes that the more conscious one becomes easy and paradoxly harder is to communicate with humans. For me for example I basically just listen to my relatives for social education. The percentage of wisdom I would get from listening then equal the percentage I get by listening dogs barking. -

How I escaped the Alt-Rigth Pipeline. -
When one is drown in mind ,more mind will not help, is more wood for the fire, one need first to build body capacity and nervous system to be able to have the energy flow easy and not get stuck in any part of the energetic system. Plus of course that a lack of purpouse or usefullness can lead to feelings of " Nobody will care if I go anyway" and more of the self-narratives that can ultimate lead to the final choice of "Bye" Integral is the only way to any problem. But there is always a root cause in the body,mind or Spirit.

Sometimes this desires for self aniquilation is due to parasitic infection + dietary lack is some minerals and vitamins + Trauma. The trick is that one thing interact with the other, the diet make the parasites there intact the parasits and their toxins keep the body in weakness and fogmind and lack of hormonal balance and the Trauma see no way to be healed so due to the Trauma being stuck in the body both diet and parasites thrive. One nee tonstart from the body first.

I had contemplation similar to the hummingbird. Meditation observing a plant, a cat Skull, a Pommegranade, basically any Natural Creation that you can observe for Hours. If do it under effect of psycadelic it can be even more crazy, the object reveals wisdom by itself, just demanding continuous not knowing.

One way to understand in what stance a influencer are in the moment and is to check the quality of his or her most recent content. For example, we can sort of know in what stance Leo is by following his recent posts. He is with more focus in understanding Geopolitical stuff, since he already delivered a lot on Going Meta and God Realization. So now check what sort of Shit Albrey is focus in. Fantasy -
Well, someone need to recognize thar there is class war. Or will we deny?

Make sense , I get myself in this dynamic, is hard to be Elevated in Hell

I feel that more important than debates of SD is to start creating ways to nudge people from one Stage to other. For Sure there are many endeavors already in the world aimed to this cause, Actualized being one of them for example

Start using Claude Sonnet in your contemplation. Your mind is biased and runs dependent of phisological needs that are not always perfect ( unless you use nootropics and a very good diet. But anyway Claude will help unstuck your lazy mind. I was trying to answer the question : What are the developmental needs of Stage Blue and Green Spiral dymamics. I suggested it to Claude and it gave me mill to grind. And this is important, take AI answers as material for you own contemplation. Here is Claude help Let me provide a concise explanation of the key developmental areas for Blue (Order) in Spiral Dynamics. The main developmental challenges for Blue consciousness include: 1. Rigidity and Inflexibility - Tendency to see things in absolute black/white terms - Difficulty adapting rules when circumstances change - Over-reliance on authority and established procedures 2. Limited Personal Agency - Strong dependence on external systems for meaning - Difficulty taking initiative outside prescribed rules - Challenges with independent decision-making 3. Emotional Suppression - Repression of "inappropriate" feelings and impulses - Discomfort with emotional expression - Strict control over natural drives 4. Growth Areas: - Developing greater flexibility in thinking - Building capacity for nuanced perspectives - Learning to question authority appropriately - Integrating emotional awareness - Developing personal judgment alongside rules - Finding balance between order and adaptability Would you like me to expand on any of these aspects? I can provide specific examples of how these manifest and strategies for development. I'll provide specific examples for each developmental challenge: 1. Rigidity and Inflexibility: - Refusing to update company policies even when they're clearly outdated (e.g., requiring formal dress codes in remote work settings) - Following traffic rules even in emergencies where breaking them would be safer - Rejecting new teaching methods simply because they differ from traditional approaches - Being unable to accommodate cultural differences in workplace etiquette 2. Limited Personal Agency: - A manager always waiting for upper management approval even for minor decisions - Students only studying what's explicitly in the curriculum, avoiding creative exploration - Workers following inefficient processes because "that's how it's always been done" - Religious practitioners following rituals without understanding their deeper meaning 3. Emotional Suppression: - A father believing boys shouldn't cry or show vulnerability - An employee hiding their grief at work after a personal loss because it's "unprofessional" - A teacher maintaining strict composure even when students make meaningful achievements - Family members avoiding discussion of feelings at gatherings to maintain "proper" behavior 4. Growth Examples: From: - A supervisor who rigidly enforces every rule without context To: - Understanding when rules can be flexible for better outcomes From: - Only accepting information from traditional authorities To: - Learning to evaluate information based on evidence and merit From: - Suppressing all emotional responses in professional settings To: - Learning appropriate emotional expression while maintaining professionalism From: - Following established procedures without question To: - Thoughtfully analyzing procedures and suggesting improvements when needed Would you like me to elaborate on any specific area or discuss strategies for developing these aspects? [I ASKED: Now compile the same but for Stage Green] Stage Green Let me provide a comprehensive breakdown for Green (Pluralistic-Relativistic) stage in Spiral Dynamics. Main Development Challenges: 1. Paralysis by Processing - Over-emphasis on including everyone's perspective - Difficulty making decisive actions - Getting stuck in endless discussions and consensus-building 2. Idealistic Perfectionism - Unrealistic expectations of self and others - Strong emotional reactions when ideals aren't met - Tendency to see any compromise as "selling out" 3. Shadow Rejection - Denying or suppressing "non-acceptable" parts of self - Difficulty integrating healthy hierarchies or power - Overcorrecting against previous value systems 4. Growth Areas: - Developing practical action alongside empathy - Building capacity for healthy boundaries - Learning to integrate multiple perspectives without losing effectiveness - Finding balance between inclusion and decision-making - Accepting human imperfection while maintaining growth mindset Specific Examples: 1. Paralysis by Processing: - A non-profit board spending months discussing a simple policy change because every member must feel fully heard - A team leader unable to make project decisions without unanimous agreement - School committees extending meetings indefinitely to process everyone's feelings - Community projects stalling because consensus can't be reached on minor details 2. Idealistic Perfectionism: - An activist burning out because they feel they must attend every social justice event - A teacher becoming depressed because they can't solve all their students' personal problems - An environmentalist feeling guilty for occasionally using plastic - Someone rejecting potential allies because they're not "conscious enough" 3. Shadow Rejection: - A diversity advocate being intolerant towards traditional viewpoints - A peace activist becoming aggressive towards those who disagree - A communal living space refusing to establish any leadership structure - Rejecting all forms of competition as "toxic" 4. Growth Examples: From: - Insisting on processing everyone's feelings about changing the office coffee brand To: - Learning to balance inclusion with practical time constraints From: - Rejecting all hierarchy as oppressive To: - Understanding the value of earned expertise and healthy leadership From: - Being paralyzed by guilt over cultural appropriation To: - Learning to appreciate and respect cultures while engaging authentically From: - Refusing to make decisions without group consensus To: - Developing skills to make timely decisions while honoring multiple perspectives Would you like me to explore any particular aspect of Green development in more detail?
