I agree. Maybe I'm being too hopeful and optimistic.

I love Destiny's ability to handle this with humor for the most part hahaha. Nowadays, I would say he has hints of yellow from watching a lot of his content. He has changed very much recently (he had a massive ego death on 10g of shrooms lol).

I like to think of fascism as stage red taking advantage of the systems in stage blue, like a psychopath manipulating himself through life.

@Leo Gura Vaush is like the best example of the positives and negatives of green that I can think of.

Interesting how the atheism of North Korea (in respect to traditional religion) is coming from below blue (red) rather than above (orange). They are only allowed to worship the one all-powerful state. Atleast Hitler believed he wasn't above the christian God.

Nah. It's hard to find healthy examples.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-norway-police-verdict/norwegian-policeman-jailed-for-21-years-in-drugs-case-idUSKCN1BT1QZ This is the headline in our news today in Norway as the high-up ex-police detective Eirik Jensen is appealing his sentence to the supreme court. When the top hash distributor in Norway named Gjermund Cappelen got busted by the cops, he decided to out Jensen as having cooperated with his business while working closely with him as an informant by using illegal tactics, and that Jensen has protected Cappelen from being investigated by the police, essentially allowing him to import hash without being caught, in exchange for money and insider information. If he is guilty, this is an example of stage blue regressing to stage red.

That or it appeals to the natural teenage propensity towards Red (defying authority, aggression, impulsivity). I used to listen to death metal as a teenager because of the intense energy and adrenaline, kinda like watching a horror movie. I've actually never cared about the lyrics of a song untill my early 20s.

When the society persecutes you the the point that it becomes indistinguishable from living under a stage red oppressive empire, to the point where the most basic aspects of your individuality gets neglected, you will drop to that stage yourself and act accordingly in order to preserve yourself. Any stage in particular doesn't just arise as a result of evolution from a previous stage but also as a result of the short-commings of the proceeding stages. That is one way to view what causes things like violent protests.

Not a GIF but still good.

Leo covered all those questions just now

I legitimately thought that it was an update video from him regarding his health issues and that he was wearing some kind of headband while being sickly-looking, but no

(I first posted this in the blue examples section, but then I realized that it gives a much deeper insight into orange values than blue values, and also the person who made the video is orange himself.) The music industry fighting back against the PMRC attacking orange values back in the 80s:

The only problem is that's not possible. Now, of course I'm really substituting "bully" for "aggression", but the point still stands. The cop in the video is displaying his capability of aggression, although a bit excessive for that particular situation, it's necessary for him to do his job. You don't want a weak police force that can't match up to the bad guys, As a cop, his natural tendency towards aggression has the chance to manifest itself in a productive way, something you wouldn't see in most other well-paying professions.

You can have a bully in two ways: the one who knocks down your door or the one who arrests him.

I like how people are crying "we don't need bullies in our police force" when that is exactly where you would want them lol.

Healthy integration of Red

OMG IT'S TIME! IT'S FINALLY HERE! WHY AM I SO EXCITED FOR THIS??? 36:53 - "Ok so you just think anyone should be able to torture their dog to death?" - "Pretty much yeah, because it's a possession and you don't extend the same rights to the animal that you would to humans, yeah." Notice how the chat just freaks out when he says that hahaha Destiny's paradigm in this debate is logically self-consistent but overtly egoistic. It's kinda hilarious how during the course of the debate it just progressively leads to deeper and deeper pits of Red and how he has no qualms about conceding on truly horrendous hypotheticals in order to remain consistent . This debate was arguably the origin of the meme that Destiny is a sociopath. What is also interesting is that Vegan Gains is a self-admitted sociopath even though he advocates for veganism. Phil Anselmo's raw aggressive energy is the best example of Red I've seen in a performing music artist This song called "So You Die" is extreme Red in a nutshell

Comment of the year right there pmofgm

Yes please continue my late night addiction.

Pretty darn impressive not gonna lie.

It's a made up concept of mankind that arises in the form of a thought. Ask yourself: how do you know what a brain is? "Well, science says the brain is a collection of neurons that are interconnected in a network, and it looks like this". Now, notice how that is a thought. Let's say that you were looking at "the brain" for the first time and you didn't know what it was. In that instance, you have no thoughts that could point you towards what you now consider to be a brain. Once somebody teaches you their idea of what a brain is, you then project these ideas and beliefs onto what you're actually looking at in the form of a thought (oh, that is a brain). So what you consider to be the brain is nothing but a thought. Sounds about right. Emotions arise and dissipate within awareness. Thoughts also arise and dissipate in awareness. They're not essential to you. Let's take a similar approach to the idea that the brain is a thought. When you look at the MRI scan results and you see damaged nerves, is that information self-evident or does it come in form of a thought? If yes, then whatever cause you're attributing to the pain is arising in the form of a thought. Now, if what you're looking at is not really an MRI scan of your nerves (that would be a thought), then what are you actually looking at? Well, you're simply looking at your own experience; consciousness. This consciousness has no true cause. It's essentially creating itself. Is that a satisfying answer for an intellectually stimulated brain? No , but we're trying to go beyond your intellect and into awareness. It's a good thing to get used to aswell: your intellect will never really be satisfied. Anything only matters relative to one's survival, and the ego will do whatever it needs in order to survive, which includes everything you mentioned. At the bottom of this though, the question is: do you care more about truth than your own survival? Right now it might seem like both are intertwined, but they're actually strongly opposed to each other.

I'm not sure if I agree quite with that dichotomy. I used to be extremely stuck in my mind thinking about interesting ideas 24/7 and it still only took me 3 meditations before I got a nondual glimpse Granted, that happened straight after stopping a consecutive 2 years of bombarding my brain with cannabis. The withdrawal symptoms from abruptly stopping the use of cannabis has an interesting effect on focus.

Remember that L-theanine has some stimulant properties which may create a subtle synergy with the stimulant properties of LSD. Generally, you should avoid additional stimulants when on psychedelics as they may elevate the risk of thought loops etc. But then again, these effects are generally mild and may be balanced out by the sedative effect (it's not like amphetamine or anything).
