I'm sorry, but this caught me way off guard. Tell me what you think. Also, does anybody understand anything of the explanation of his theory? It's brain-meltingly hard to follow. 31:47 Goes on about the coronavirus, distrust in government -> 34:25 calls for civil disobedience. 2:16:00 He says we have to leave the planet -> requires faster-than-light travel -> "here's my theory that challenges Einstein"

@Heyyyyyy To be fair, he does have a certain type of charisma that is attractive to a certain audience regardless of the size of his muscles.

I think I just saw a great example of green relativism in a debate (on Twitch I'm very sorry), which seems to be very much in line with what most of you have said on here. The argument is about whether you should be able to use ableist slurs or not, and the guy in the bottom left says this: "But having cancer is actually a bad thing. Being disabled is not a bad thing necessarily, being of a different race is not a bad thing, being homosexual is not a bad thing. That's why it's not the same" (1:02:59-1:03:23). I strongly suggest to only watch those 20 seconds if unless you actually want cancer lol The green relativism comes mostly from the part "being disabled is not a bad thing necessarily". If they were yellow or above, they would realize that whether cancer is good or bad is also relative. Maybe he will make a concession on that point if he was pushed on it, but the statement alone seems to capture green relativism pretty well.

That was my belief going into this, but I wanted to see if I could be proven wrong somehow

Pre-grammatical stage? Lol

@fridjonk Would it be more accurate to say that green is the introduction to relativism, and yellow is the capitulation to relativism?

It's good to strive for independent thinking, but let's be real here: who actually has an original position about anything? The big trend with conspiracies is "oh I don't trust these people", but then you just end up putting your trust in the opposite side. It's not like like you actually took a deep dive down and discovered something new. You either trust that authority over there or you trust that one over there, and when it comes to conspiracies, at the end of the day, it really doesn't matter which authority you choose to trust, because 99% of the time it doesn't change anything in your life. Does that mean you shouldn't strive for truth? No, but just get your priorities straight.

@Raphael Would you say that anthropological relativism is the main factor that distinguishes a stage yellow answer from a stage green answer, or is the difference between yellow and green simply the depth of which relativism is understood in general? Are there any other factors that distinguishes yellow from green that you could phrase in a question?

@Moreira IS there a general world wide vitamin D deficiency? Considering the seriousness of this, why hasn't there been declared a global emergency? Lemme guess: it's tied to big pharma?

@fridjonk Isn't moral relativism obtained at stage green though?

@Flowerfaeiry I also don't think things like this can be the deciding factor of what makes something healthy, atleast in general. I had some kind of insight years ago about biological evolution that just stuck with me: factors that promote fitness (survival and reproductive success) do not automatically promote longevity. Traits that are beneficial early in life and detrimental later in life are therefore likely to be passed on. Therefore, to assume that for instance meat is healthy (promotes longevity) because it made our brains grow isn't a valid argument. Your genes are a result of reproductive pressures, so appealing to evolution for dietary guidance is in many cases not beneficial if you care about longevity.

It's like this: "We didn't go to the moon!" Ok. What you gonna do about it?

I thought he was about to break through to turquoise at some point, but man did he take a nose-dive straight back down into blue.

Red pill philosophy is a product of the existential insecurity brought on by orange.

It's not the video but mainly the comment section that is orange to the brim.

@Raphael Damn. I remember seeing that video in my recommended videos, but I never clicked it because I assumed it would just be another close-minded feminist. Guess I was wrong.

How does shit like this get so much attention?

@Tetcher Regardless of the valid ethical, environmental and health concerns addressed by veganism, changing individual minds through activism is not an efficient strategy. Even if the majority of people in the world were to be on board with the philosophy, it would still require a huge shift in how society functions to even start to see anything resembling global change. Of course this doesn't mean you shouldn't start somewhere, but don't expect too much too soon.

Wasn't it due to meat?

Would be interested to hear about some specific examples

Do you feel it's working?

In reality, there is nothing holding me back other than the story I keep telling myself: that I need to grow and develop as a person. I mean I'm not even financially independent yet, and the state of my social life/achievements is pretty dull. It doesn't really matter if it's a belief, a story, or an illusion, because even though I know that is what it is, I still feel an urge to hold on. I believe time is the only answer, hence growth. I think there is value to the good old sales pitch for enlightenment: "Have you tried living life but nothing seems to make you satisfied? Try enlightenment!". I haven't really lived life yet, and even though I know that it won't satisfy me, I still feel like I have to do it.

Just have to add that this guy doesn't represent the majority of people in stage blue at all, but it's nonetheless a good example of stage blue lines of reasoning, and it's also just too hilarious to not add here: 8:35-9:35 "Is jazz a derivative - a lower derivative, of the waltz? It's a simplification and a judaized version of the waltz. It's waltz without the order." "There is no order to jazz music! Jazz music is not ordered like music- ... it's made up on the go. Jazz music is made up on the go, that's why it sounds so stupid. Jazz music is all *bbrbrbrbrbr* - atonal!"
