  1. Yes, there's is progress made. But really slowly. Don't get me wrong Orange is loosing it's ground, but really slowly. That's why my predictions in my earlier posts says 20 to 30 years (debateable of course). The compromise is a built in strategy of Orange, compromising but still having grey areas and back doors built in, or postponing full effectiveness longer then needed. Also a common tactic of Orange especially in the Tech industry is praying on the ignorance of the often non Tech people in power making the legislation. Especially with the boomers. But yes as I said slowly Orange will be reigned in. But not as fast as is publicly perceived. Also don't make the mistake in thinking there's a difference what is publicly known and what is really going on. Full transparency is still a mirage, protecting assets/power, saving face takes first place in telling the truth. Don't be fooled in thinking that what is publicly known is the truth. How many times have we had the need for whistle blowers to understand what's really going on.
  2. Just to clarify, cockblocking works not the best for Orange by totally blocking a piece of legislation. Because then there is fuel still for Blue/Orange to try again at some point. No the best way for Orange is to sneakily alter the legislation (by "lobbying") that the impact on Orange is minimal, but still on the front it looks like accomplishes something. Then when legislation is through, attention will be diverted to another area, leaving this legislation alone for the next 10 to 20 years.
  3. And how are you going to create those crazy amounts of money? The only way to achieve that is to close your eyes to the damage you will do along the way. Then if you have enough buy your way back into undoing that damage? Why the necessity to get crazy rich anyway. You're being played, by your surrounding and social media. You don't have to be filthy rich to burn through your (materialistic) karma.
  4. I would say we're at the beginning of said change, not in the middle yet. I'm not an American, nor have I been there or follow it in depth. But a lot of points you have is already implemented in N. Western Europe. And although those countries are seen as Green, the core is definitely still Orange. Don't under estimate how strong the grasp of Orange is in influencing legislation. And even if the legislation is there, they do anything to circumvent in all the grey areas they can find those legislations. I do follow tech news, and you see how the EU is making legislation, but by their own ignorance/stupidity or maybe even under influence of big tech, they only do a half ass job. Looking good on paper but in the end only 20 percent effective. The world is now run with maximising share holders profit in mind. Tech, Food, Transport, Health Care. A true Green environment does not need these legislations or does not do anything in it's power to circumvent does legislations for maximum profit. Just dive into recent news Apple against EU, Amazon practices, Uber etc. etc. So on the fore front of change, yes I think so, but it will be a hell of a fight and Orange will fight back hard. It will take time (how much is debatable) before the Green influence including the ripple effect will be dominant in a country like the US/N. Western Europe/Global. BTW, don't get fighting against Orange confused with Green perse. Some could also be Blue trying to fight back and keep/regain it's power.
  5. Yup, USA, China, India, are not even close to transcending Orange. If you're referring to economical super powers that is. Heck most of them, still are coping with transcending Blue. Also the bigger (population wise) the country the slower the change. That's why you will see the smaller developed countries transcend first (roughly under 15 million people). Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, and to a certain degree Netherlands. But they're global influence is small. However you look at it, it will take a long time. But that's why it's called evolution. If it was fast it will be called a revolution, 😄.
  6. To represent the underwater world. Stargazer: Bobbit worm: Cuttlefish, although hypnotising and not really ambushing, but as a metaphor for how people fall into traps, perfect. I've seen this hypnotising attack in real life while diving. It's mesmerising to behold. It's one of my favourite sea creatures.
  7. Yeah to make a distinction, if we're talking as all the total global level, I agree. If we're looking at some of the most developed countries now, mainly north western Europe + Iceland maybe. I think they're not to far off. But I would reckon that even in the most developed countries now, you will find that Orange still has a strong grasp on the government and public society. Green is just the shell on the outside now of the most developed countries it will need to penetrate to the core to be fully Green. But yup, global not within our lifetime, most developed countries, who knows. Every time I see some stupid stuff how Orange is Oranging new ways in coming up with new stuff just for its own benefit, I think oh boy this is going to add X amount of years to undo the damage it created on micro and macro level. So my estimate is based on what stupid stuff Orange is doing now, not taking into account all the cockamamie stuff they will think of next and screw up my estimation. Maybe I need to go more meta here, to include this as well. 🤔😄
  8. Don't forget American Psycho. I have seen an interview once with Christian Bale where peak Orange people were worshipping the movie. He asked them if they knew that the book and movie is one big satire, but it completely did not register for them. That whole life style is worshipped by Orange. Also I have heard in 2010 from my former colleagues who were working in the banking sector in when the financial crisis happened in 2008, no (moral) lessons were learned by the industry. They were at it again, while the world was still feeling the impact of their actions, they were gathering selfishly all the money and power again. Peak Orange has no personal responsibility and accountability. Causing damage as an individual is bad enough, for the last 60 years we have major sectors who affect peoples every days life working this way. Hopefully we will transcend Orange more now, only Orange still has so much power it's hard to get out of the web. Even if we get out, than we have to undo the damage. It will 20 to 30 years to fully transcend (and include) Orange to Green.
  9. https://theculturetrip.com/asia/nepal/articles/is-it-unethical-to-climb-mount-everest Read this to understand the impact of especially climbing Everest. Do you really think it's worth the safety, ecological, social and culture impact to satisfy your own desire to push yourself to the limit? I was in Nepal in 2014 hiking Lang Tang, for a small 3 day trek. That was the exact same time when the avalanche happened on Everest. My Nepali guide lost 2 friends of his on that day. The danger is real, and not only for yourself.
  10. Hmm, I'm not to sure about how real this all is. On 0:57 the robot says uuhh. Sounds a bit fishy to me. It will not be first time that a company will fake their capabilities. Still need to watch the whole video though.
  11. Be a master in being a jack of all trades and be jack of all trades in mastering. Only by mastering you will understand the true nature of the subject and only by being a jack of all trades you will discover the patterns within mastering. You will discover it's fractal nature. It's both and none of them at the same time.
  12. No man, this is just Blue, and Blue only. There are clear rules stating that a swimmer can't cross to another lane before everyone is finished. The guy did cross the lane. So he gets punished, clear Blue thinking, break the rules you get punished. If this is fair, that depends on your point of view, maybe a warning could have been a better solution. Be careful not making toxic Green and Wokeism the patsy for everything. I see it happening more and more now. 1st tier love to find patsies for problems. A few years ago, it was toxic masculinity, and before it was probably something else. After 9-11 it was the Islamic , before (in my birth country) it was the Turkish immigrants and many things in between.
  13. Oh boy, Have you actually seen the movie? The whole shtick of this scene is that they are already a couple. They are doing a whole role playing thing to make their relationship more interesting. That is why he is suddenly doing the turn around because, he is prentending to be a more insecure guy, but the turn around is his real character (in the movie). This whole scene is a fantasy in a fantasy, not worth discussing for real life situations.
  14. You're free to come by here, I'm staying in Malapascua famous for it's diving and many beautiful small and big under water life and most importantly sharks 🦈 . If you don't know how to scuba dive don't worry, I can teach you 🙂.
  15. Plenty of Frogfish here in the Philippines. Also around the place where I live they're a common sighting. For most scuba divers the hairy Frogfish is the one that is the highest on their list. They're wonderful creatures, the underwater world is truly the closest way to explore alien life forms.
  16. Be careful with this https://cglife.com/blog/23andme-sold-your-genetic-data-to-gsk-personalized-medicine-ethics/ 23andme is already actively selling your DNA data to other companies. And they claim it's legal because it's in their disclaimer. Also be aware that is not only your data, but also data from your family. If at some point insurance companies start to deny people for certain treatment because of DNA profiling and they use your data to not treat your mom or dad, with all the shit we see companies do it's not out of the realm of possibilities. This is just one potential example.
  17. @koops Good effort for trying to make this list. But there's a couple of things that I want to add. One thing that is important is to make is a distinction between a natural integration of Red when the time is right to integrate, and an integration of Red for people who have missed out on it in their cultural/social upbringing. For me this post strikes me as the second distinction, integrating Red after people past the natural window. What I have seen multiple times before, in myself and others, especially in 1st Tier colours, when trying to integrate from a reaction of missing out there is a lot overcompensating done. Mostly this comes from repressed and uncontrolled emotions from denied natural integration. Multiple points in this topic look to me as overcompensation towards missing out the natural window. Why is this such an important distinction to make? Because people who are passing through Red in their natural window (as @Lila9 pointed out, age 13 to 20) may pick up at the over compensation points and in the end does more damage then good. At this moment we have a unique situation in the world where the need for integrating Red is high, because (western) culture was demonizing Red the last 35+ years. Now most of the information found (online and social media) out there is a reaction to this lack of Red. So this is OK for a (man) 25+ who missed out on Red and trying to integrate, so long if the person knows how to filter out the toxic stuff. But this information (I mean this trend, not this post) is not OK for the 14 yo who is exposed to this without asking through social media. Perfect example we have is Andrew Tate. This is classic over the top Red over compensation, (don't mistake him with proper integration). And you see the biggest defenders of his arresting where 14 to 20 yo protesting for his release. This age and development stage is still highly deceptible to any kind of imprinting without logical or sceptic thinking (because that has not come online yet for them) . Ask yourself this question, do you really want 14 yo experimenting with sex perversions, walking in a dangerous neighbourhood with money, etc. At the people trying to wanting to help yourself and others integrating Red. Contemplate on this question: Is this point I'm trying to make an reaction of missing out or is this something that a person passing through in the natural window also should know about? It's clear that society has no right answer yet of integrating Red in a healthy way for both distinctions. Opening the discussion how to integrate Red in a healthy way (in the natural window) into a society is something that needs to start now. Should this be a thing left to parents, or should the government provide possibilities for this for example in schools. Maybe a 2nd Tier society will have the answer for this. Because Green society is still reacting against Red, so that is not going to work. Exiting Red Another thing that I found lacking in this post is knowing when Red is fulfilled and it's time to exit this stage. @koops Maybe put a disclaimer in your post (and upcoming posts) that this is advise is meant for people who already past the natural window and trying to integrate, not overcompensate. BTW, this overcompensating and repressed emotions of denied integration is not only visible in the societal discussion of Integrating stage Red, but also you see this happening with feminism, gender equality, discrimination and racism. But that is a discussion for another topic.
  18. Within tourism there are a lot of options for women. Tourism and hospitality are closely connected. One of the things to increase your chances in tourism and hospitality is languages. The more languages the easier you can communicate with people. Within tourism at least from my working and traveling I have seen. English, Spanish, German and French are the most important. Also Chinese and Korean to some degree. In different parts of the world Arabic can come more in to play. Working in tourism can be really fun and build confidence communicating and leading people while making sure they have a good time. If you want to see as much countries as possible go work on a cruise ship or an airline. You can build something for yourself within tourism. Within tourism you usually don't need many certificates. With hospitality usually there are some certificates. Tourism relies on your ability to reach people and convince them to take what you are offering. You can focus it on any target audience, men or women, does not matter. If you don't have the confidence to start on your own yet, apply for a job within a company first.
  19. Tourism must be pretty low now in Mexico/Peru, if they're trying to scrape the barrel for UFO and alien tourists. I think I will open a t-shirt stand nearby, and let the money roll in. ? BTW if the bodies were retrieved from Peru, how did they end up in a hearing in Mexico? One would wonder that Peruvian government will not be happy by bodies found on their land being exported to other countries, if they condemned them real in the first place. Bizarre story.
  20. Yup that's what you can expect from a SD stage blue country. I caught a news message last year that they trying to open up the rules a bit. I don't know what the current state is. The effect it creates is hollow mariages. I call them MINOs. Marriage In Name Only. As a result a lot of infidelity. But still for a lot of Filipinas marriage is there ultimate goal in life. That's what they were indoctrinated with. And what is typical for a stage blue society. You don't speak of it, and when you speak (openly) about a certain (forbidden) topic you are looked down by society. The Filipina Pea on YouTube sometimes tries to speak out about these kind of (forbidden) subjects within Filipino culture. Mostly her subjects are focussed towards foreigners.
  21. Good you have got your passion sorted out. ? But in your opening post you mention making money of it 7 times. So I'm not sure what you really want here. You want to work on a passionate project for a year or so, when you finish you can be proud of for yourself? Or you want to make money? Passion and making money can be contradictory to each other. If you want to make money of it, sometimes you have to make decisions that can have a negative effect on the passion. Let's put it differently. How can you make the ultimate passion project for yourself if you put the pressure of making money of it? It's a pressure you put on yourself then, so in the end you can't put ultimate passion into it, because in the back of your mind you want to make money of it.
  22. @Sabth I don't know anything about your situation, so I'm just writing what comes to mind from what I have seen. Could be that I'm making some assumptions here and there. First, it's great that you find your passion, follow it but don't be blind or forget the logical and practical stuff. You're talking about making a lot of money with it. I don't know if that is realistic thing and be careful, making a lot of money and following your passion often do not mix. Even if you make it big, the money aspect can be more consuming then holding on to the passion. Maybe approach like this, you follow your passion, if you can make money and have an existence from it, it's already a win. Everything on top is a bonus. Are you going to travel around all the time. Or travel to a place go back and forward to your home again? What part of the world are you living in and what part of the world do you want to make documentaries of? Also it takes time to ripen your skills, grow your audience etc. So even if you have the necessary equipment (don't be fooled, it does not have to be expensive btw). Because you don't have savings to rely on, you need some type of income to survive before the pay off of this project comes. Ok then, now that is sorted out. The project itself. - Who's is going to be your audience? - What are you going to film? Culture, nature, animals, people, cities? They have different techniques for getting the best result - Which platform are you going to use. TikTok style is different from YouTube for example - What will be the pay-out for a platform - Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Spread it out over the platforms and also keep in mind that if a platform changes its algorithm it can affect your exposure and views dramatically. Always keep in mind your stil dependent of them. Also see it as a opportunity to hone your skills. Every new video is a new opportunity to improve. Build your portfolio, you can use in the future if you want to spread your wings elsewhere. Build your network, maybe collab with bigger brands. For equipment you need basically: - Decent prosumer camera, can be 2nd hand. Maybe even a good phone with nice camera's can do the trick now a days - Accessoires, tripods, lights, microphones, etc. - Drone, not a must but you stated yourself - Decent multimedia editing focussed laptop - Fast internet connection, for uploading the big video files - Don't forget backup solution (3-2-1 rule (nerdy stuff ?)) I'm working in the tourism industry (scuba diving) in the Philippines, Tourism and Documentary making have a big overlap. I met different kinds of people who had different solutions to making video's. Maybe there is an idea you can use, to generate some income, while you can keep your big project going: - Making videos for resorts. Most resorts will already have a promotional video, for online or in the lobby. Maybe there outdated, or maybe they changed name or owner (happens a lot). Google some resorts in a particular area you're staying, investigate their online media presence. If their is none or low quality you can offer your services. (This is where a portfolio comes in) - Promotional videos for tourism branches, Incredible India, More Fun In The Philippines, etc. These are usually bigger projects so will be working with multiple people here. - Assisting on big documentary projects, this one is really cool. I know several people (in the diving world) who are videographers for National Geographic or assisting for these kind of project. You can use either combination to make some money so you can work on your own project. Don't forget the invaluable skill you will learn working in diverse areas. Being in this world, meeting people creating new opportunities, it's awesome. The first time I went to Philippines I met a guy, who just rented a cabin at the beach and rented scuba tanks and went diving a shooting every day to work on his video project. Granted he had some money to spare on this.
  23. Switching between small town above Amsterdam, Netherlands and Malapascua, Philippines
