You weren’t clear enough. I’m not asking if the protests were peaceful. I’m asking why were they protesting? What was the underlying value of the protests? If they were protesting an abortion clinic, it’s Blue - not Green. And what building was it? If a group is trying to destroy a mosque, it’s not green. By only giving selected information, it keeps things within a certain narrative. If you want informed views, you need to give information to us.

The underlying value driving the protests is key to determine SD stage. If a group is protesting an abortion clinic, it’s not green. Are you saying that this group is protesting for their right to destroy a random building for fun? Is that really their cause? It seems like you are omitting some key information and promoting a particular narrative. You mentioned you want a non-biased opinion by people outside of Argentina. To get a non-biased opinion, you need to give us all the information - not cherry picked information.

You first say it was people insulting police that were just protecting a building. Now you say that they are protestors looking to destroy a building for fun? This seems like an odd characterization. People don’t protest for no reason and try to destroy buildings in their community “for fun”. The motivation driving the protests is key in determining an SD stage.

The police are protecting a random building? And people spontaneously arose to insult and break a police cord because they had nothing better to do? Some context seems to be missing here. . .

I’ve met several people with paranormal abilities that self identify as being alien-like. One of the reasons they keep their abilities secret is to avoid getting abused by others. -

It can be. There is also a more expansive “I” available. -
This is an old, inactive thread that is attracting gambling spam bots.

I agree stage of development is a factor as well. Also a factor, is that men tend to be more aggressive, competitive, argumentative and hostile. Even on this forum, nearly all aggressive, argumentative, hostile users are males. Perhaps that has to do higher testosterone levels, genetics and social conditioning. Women tend to be more empathetic and compassionate, on average - similar to how men are physically more aggressive and intellectual on average. Women tend to embody stage green much easier than men. And even at stage yellow, most men are intellect-dominant and have major gaps in green development. They will intellectualize empathy into concepts without the embodiment of empathy. Yet I wouldn't predict everything would be roses, butterflies and harmony if women had the lion's share of power. Women aren't pure angels and there would still be problems. Imagine if Sarah Palin become president. There are various factors at play. -

Does your intuition include being able to intuite / recognize the gifts of others? -
@Frosty97 I like the random, spontaneity of it - and that it doesn't "make sense".

This is an area I think Biden’s team could have a big advantage. Trump’s team isn’t oriented toward long-term strategic planning, they are much more oriented toward reacting to current events - it’s a strength in some contexts, yet a weakness in other contexts. I’m hoping Biden’s team with Kamala, Obama support are building a massive strategic legal team - I think there are a lot of legal professionals that won’t Trump out. I don’t have much faith in Biden, yet I’m hoping he has a large team quietly working behind the scenes.

Similar to Bush vs Gore, yet on a larger scale.

I can’t see Ben being taken seriously after his WAP debacle. A great title for an Onion article.

I had a 20mm kidney stone and was told by women it’s on par with giving birth. Thank goodness for dilaudid. It was a rough ride. -

C’mon. Men on average are more aggressive, physically violent and physically confrontational. If women had 90% of the power in the world, there would be fewer wars. There would be other problems, yet physical violence would decrease. Another experiment would be to decrease the testosterone levels of men down to 40 ng/dL and see what happens. Oh wait, we already know that. . . transgender women on average are significantly less violent and physically confrontational than Cis males. -

I see it more like developing a character with a spectrum for multiple traits. We would optimize the character for the environmental challenge. Creating an organism that had 100 muscular strength, 0 intelligence, 0 knowledge would simply be a pile of muscle - the muscle strength couldn’t even be used with a 0 intelligence, 0 knowledge. There are cases in which I would give a character a higher relative score for muscular strength, so it’s superior in that sense. For example, if we had 250 pts for a wilderness character, I can see doing 80 muscular strength, 60 constitution, 60 knowledge and 50 intelligence. Yet I could also see arguments for a different distribution. -

Yea, without any context it’s a groundless mess. Everyone is pretty much saying “It depends on context” -
An old thread. The OP hasn’t visited the forum in over a year.

If I was stranded in the wilderness, I’d much rather be with a female with a high intelligence and extensive wilderness experience than a muscular man with the intelligence of a box of rocks that can’t find his way around a McDonalds. -

Context dependent: If survival of a stroke patitient is on the line, does it make sense to have a physcially strong person? Or someone who is highly intelligent and experienced in medicine. And notice how men tend to create physical confrontation like war and then say “we need physcially strong men to survive the problems we caused!!”. If more women were in power, there would be less need for survival through physcial confrontations. Yet men love to frame things in male-centric ways. -

Or three 60 IQ men? Or three 150+ IQ women? And are you assuming the 200+ men have various other skills? Alex Jones is 200+ pounds. I’d rather have a 150+ pound female javelin thrower than Alex Jones in that situation. -

We could t split men as short men or tall men and see who is better at math. Then we can split the short men into short skinny men vs short fat men to see who is better at math. Then compare tall skinny men vs tall fat men.. . . Then we can compare short skinny men with brown eyes to short skinny men with blue eyes to see who is better at math. Then we can split and compare. . .
