I've recently watched the Actualized.org vids on belief, and dualism, and assumptions, and systems thinking, and stage yellow spiral dynamics. In some of these Leo said something to the effect that "your friends aren't talking about this" or suggested the way other people think might be incongruent with yours as you get further into your own development. I've been integrating these ideas more in my life and they have come into the conversations I've had with friends and family, and surprisingly I've found speaking like this opens people up more and they generally have had a good sense that clinging to a belief can be disastrous and that considering things you might be opposed to is important for development. Sure I haven't heard anyone I know mention any of the spiral dynamics stages lol, but so far I've been surprised at how universally the people I talk to are thinking. Maybe part of that is me loosening my grip on my own beliefs and thus being able to value perspective as Right perspective, and not a right or wrong perspective :^) (obviously the title is cheeky clickbait, it's all love)

BringBackBeige started following What stage of spiral dynamics is an ant colony at?
-
Are they beige because they are mindlessly fighting for survival? Are they purple because they are territorial and will fight other colonies? Are they red because the queen and her soldier ants rule the colony? Are they blue because they revere the queen? Are they orange because their focus is on expansion of the colony? Are they green because the ants look out for the good of the entire colony? Are they yellow because they understand that every ant's role serves a vital function of the whole? Or maybe they're turquoise, because they've completely done away with all models and beliefs and simply embody all of the values of yellow?

There's a lot of focus in media and culture today to lift up women, which is part of what you're observing. But if you were receiving it you'd see how hollow that support really is. Your struggles would be different but you'd struggle just as much if you were a girl.

You can absolutely fake your vibe. I mean, you make your vibe, even your real vibe is technically fake. So a fake vibe is just as real as a real vibe

I was definitely this way when I first used psychedelics years ago. Quickly I developed a smug attitude thinking I was leapfrogging into enlightenment while the sheeple wandered through life. But of course in reality I was just doing drugs and not leaving my house. The mind is so tricky!

This is effective if you're trying to write an exam without reading the book, but I don't see how this will help you if you actually want to absorb the content. Ask it to summarize a book you've read and know really well and you'll see how much it's leaving out.

Taking benzodiazepines every day or every other day is a bad idea. Trust me, it will not stay at 0.25 mg for long. Benzos can get you out of a pinch, but if you take them regularly you won't actually develop yourself.
