How is slavery bad if you don't care about survival?

In that case, you're just allowing someone to rule somebody else's (your) survival. How is that moral?

Do it again

Karma is not morality. It's physics. Morality is about survival.

Do you think this varies based on if the mods in question had actively applied for their position or if they were merely approached and given the offer?

Just try it for a week.

Patriarchy. Take a look at BATGAP's videos. It's pretty 50/50. https://www.youtube.com/c/Batgap

Afterwards when you're done being delusional

Bro seriously, go the middle way: go for 3 days between faps and I'll promise you that the sensitivity will return AND your brain fog will lift. I've been on both extremes before, and I choose the middle way every time.

Leo has been criticized by Don Beck in the past for misunderstanding Turquoise and conflating it with mysticism (Ken Wilber's contributions to SDi also confirms this), which is what I think is happening here when he is describing the limitations of Yellow. That said, I don't think mysticism is necessarily unrelated to SD development, and I've tried to explain this here:

Just wait 3-4 days between faps.

Meaning + Being ?

It depends on how the concept is viewed. You could actually argue it's a lesson in construct awareness ("self-deception happens at the level of words"), which Blue isn't fully able to articulate but is still able to experience the benefits of by adopting it dogmatically. Instead of judging its value based on elaborate syllogisms, they instead point to its constancy throughout history as words of wisdom. So Blue realizes its value through other means than the higher stages, but the concept itself may be immensely valuable in ways that only the higher stages can articulate. Said more generally, one of Blue's most powerful technologies (the power of tradition) contains a profound wisdom which can be meaningfully explicated using say a mature systems view at Yellow+, but even then might not be fully given justice.

Was Anders Behring Breivik a Christian terrorist?

Everyone has had their vegan smack cam moment... except for Destiny

I just can't stop laughing at Destiny's "OMG, IT'S THE THING!" 2:00

Hahaha I first thought that video had to be heavily cherry picked, but oh man it's even worse than I thought:

It's distinctively Blue in the sense that it's the first stage where this kind of thinking becomes prominent. The higher stages just go beyond that.

It cuts through all abstract rationalizations ("words") by focusing on what is concrete ("actions"). Blue is correlated with the "Concrete Operational" stage in Piaget's model of cognitive development. Simple propositions like that also encapsulate the relative simplicity of Blue (also seen in Commons' Model of hierarchical complexity). It doesn't involve long strings of formalized arguments, and it's strongly reductive.

Just listened to this for the first time and my jaw dropped at multiple points in the song. Groundbreaking stuff.

Expanding on my earlier point about typologies, this can be seen literally everywhere in the human language. For body types, you have ectomorph/mesomorph/endomorph. For personality, you have introvert/extrovert. For dominance, you have alpha/beta/etc. These things are largely polygenetic (unlike say brown/blue eyes and male/female), and it's therefore more accurate to say that they fall on a spectrum. All these words are just tools to ease communication.
