Just fucking embrace the Green Stage, it’s the beautiful one, the one that reconnects you with nature, your community, and your country. Sure, it has its share of lunatics, like all stages, but if you think you’ll reach Yellow by rejecting Green, you’re just bullshitting yourself.

I wonder if Jordan Peterson, Elon Musk, and Joe Rogan and other say what they say about Trump out of ignorance or simply to appease the base of followers that supports them. I'd prefer it were the former, though I fear it’s a combination of both. It’s truly disgusting.

Those that are inclusive but without falling into naivety. Some sort of moderate socialism for me.

I believe what happens to them is that they remember their youth with fondness and nostalgia and confuse that with the idea that the regime was better than the current one.

Israel seems quite blue to me. Violence is not only perpetrated by red.

Not only does it take 600+ hours, but if you don't keep practicing after that, you'll forget it. It's very ungrateful to learn languages, it's like skipping the gym for 3 weeks.

My parents say the same thing about fascism,

This debate belongs to the 20th century. Communism failed, we should waste our time discussing how to limit the excesses of capitalism, or better yet, progress to a better system based on its foundations.

I think you must be a big piece of shit for hiding behind children and women, no matter how true your cause is. And also for justifying that it's okay to kill 10 civilians for every terrorist.

I wouldn't recommend working first on the spiritual aspect. Finance and career should be the foundations.

It seems interesting, I'll check it out. I think reading about former intelligence agents and spies is a great way to understand how politics works.

Take a rest and enjoy paid unemployment for a while if you can! It's a great opportunity to reset your mind.

Absolutely yes, just from seeing the video title. There's so much bullshit and noise on the internet these days that you need a master's degree to tell the trash from valuable content.

Do you think lying in a job interview is justified? I think yes, because I have been fooled so many times and I think that we workers are at such a disadvantage that I think it's fair.

North Korea is poor because it is an absolute monarchy and treats its citizens like cattle. If you can't see that, you have a problem.

This reminded me of my first date with my current girlfriend. We went to a bar with music playing, I suggested we sit on a couch and she sat far enough away to prevent me from initiating contact. I spent the rest of the time in the bar thinking I had screwed up, since up to that point the night had been great. When we left the bar that same night we kissed. I think she just didn't want to make it too easy. It might be the same in your case.

I really wish for Kamala to win, but I still don't like when people vote for a candidate because they have a policy that will personally benefit them. This attitude is what sometimes causes politicians to make bullshit promises they know they won't keep. When voting for a candidate, one should consider the whole package.

I will send you a private message if you don't mind.

Thanks to you Now I'm in no hurry. I feel like I have 5-10 years to consolidate Stage Green horizontally.

I genuinely feel that I have recently entered stage green. It takes a lot of time, guys. it has taken me about 7 years. It's one thing to intellectually understand the concepts that Leo talks about and agree with them, and it's another to integrate them into your inner being. If anyone has questions on how to transition from Orange to Green, feel free to reach out to me, but for me, it boils down to the fact that someone in Stage Green is able to see reality in a broader way, without judging it based on what benefits them personally. Going from Blue to Orange was quite easier. I actually did it even before knowing Leo, as society somehow predisposes you to it, and if you're not too stubborn, you can reach Orange. But going from Orange to Green has been insanely difficult, so much self-deception, prejudice, and not wanting to open my eyes to reality. Plus society doesn't help, since it usually has a lot of bias against Green (at least where I live). Let's say that society agrees with your selfishness. It takes a lot of work guys, don't underestimate this shit.

The Islamic Golden Age, at least in Spain where I'm from and I know that part of the history relatively well,was spread through violence and agression.

That's my life purpose, but I don't know yet how to materialize it. My area of expertise is logistics and international trade, which I believe is difficult to venture into without exploiting employees since the margins are minimal. Plus I don't want to risk my life savings.

Look, the fact that the United States has attempted more coups and invaded more countries than Russia and China combined isn't because the latter have better morals or superior ethics. It's due to the economic and military dominance of the U.S., along with its cultural hegemony over the past 100 years through music, movies, and television. Opposition in third-world countries have repeatedly sought U.S. support because, deep down, they aspire to be like them. They believe they can replicate their success. No one wants to emulate a backwards dictatorship like Russia. Despite its flaws, limitations, and fanaticism, the United States is a much better place to live for most people. The United States has simply been more successful in its imperialism. Putin and Xi Jinping in their wet dreams aspire to do the same the americans has done. Anti-imperialists in this forum should aspire to something better than whitewashing failed dictatorships.

Don't throw your vote in the bin and stop holding maximalist positions.

Before imperialism, there was tribalism, endless wars between tribes. Imperialism by brute force brought peace to many places where there had only been wars. It was an innovation at the time. Certainly, it has no place in today's world, but we need to look at things with perspective and not be carried away by emotions.
