I use hledger. The theory behind bookkeeping is more important however.

@TripleFly why not sql i may ask? it's super easy to learn. No-sql is ok as well^^

Problems to start learning to program, eh? If you want we can talk on Hangouts or whatever, seriously, idk what to recommend you without context;) Coolest Work: Business Intelligence as Yellow. Languages: SQL, SQLScript, ABAP plus one statistical Programming Language (R, Python, Julia) and one Scripting Language (Python, Perl...) OR Bash. You should love to learn for that. I learn Chinese (你好) and Russian (привет) when I'm bored. I guess you need to be somewhat of an outlier to read all day and then be like 'finally at home, let's read a book about the sociological systems theory'^.^

another super boring and frustrating consersation, it's a meme at this point.

@Heinrich Faust When I now think about it, openly Stage Yellow Politicians would have a hard time. So even if they where there, they should have learned to hide their Yellow

Rule: If a Party gets 3 'Direktmandate', the 5% Rule won't apply anymore (as seen with LINKE currently). There are 2 dozens of little Parties. I see a opportunity for 3 or so 1-2% Parties to get 3 'Direktmandate'. There is so little change. If only one new party, like VOLT, with 1% would get her 3 'Direktmandate' and thus go into Bundestag, this would demonstrate that change is possible. I think this is what Germany needs to see: Good change is possible. What do you guys think? Is it possible? And how?

In that case science get's reduced to a 'I win the discussion' Joker, a bad one because everybody can look up some weirdo with a PHD. Science is not immune. Don't forget how racism was considered "proved" by some sciences 100 Years ago. Garbage. In Germany we have a significant minority who argues against the most popular scientific explanation of covid. Some are idiots, but some are not. It does not matters. Same mechanics: the use of words that have conclusion in build. If we get vaccinated, we show SOLIDARITY => If you don't get vaccinated, you show the opposite of SOLIDARITY => it's okay to be condecending to those who don't vaccinate By the way I'm vaccinated and I think it it's at this point ones personal decision.

@PurpleTree Word. @Carl-Richard If we have a Problem, we can find 2 different terms for it. We could even agree on everything but how to solve it. Why would I agree on your term if I think the immanent solution of that term won't work? To use a term over a other is a design decision. So don't be surprised if people don't want to use your terms, because they may don't agree with the conclusion you present.

@impulse9 @Thought Art I think the import part of the discussion is that we all agree that people deserve to live a good life and it's worth striving towards it. What is not important is the terms to describe that. Let's change structures instead of talking 'bout mere ideology. By the way, I'm not in any way ignorant about the many (!) Problems of the Non-White People: Poverty, Institutional Racism, Slavery, Crime, higher rates of Diseases, Alcoholism and Drug abuse... I read a LOT on the the Issues and let me tell you it's not right how it is now.

@EntheogenTruthSeeker It feels like a beginning. But one that we must create, the Zeitgeist is in our favor. We all need solution for the whole spiral. People begin to understand.. I really like the Whistle Blowing lately... corruption exposed everywhere. It takes time, but it will have an impact.

yes

Lindner: Orange Harbeck: Green Gauland: Blue Because head Figures and the Circle of them (Colin Crouch's words) have so much Power, much more than the rest of the party it would be maybe interesting to analyze that groups. For example SPD: Kühnert + Esken + Borjahns + Stegmann. It would also be interesting to me to try to determine the MBTI Types of them to see which are the most Types and thus can predict their bias... At least with the 'big wigs' should it be make able to guess a little. A try... just a try Merkel: INTP - Logician Laschet: ESFJ - Consul Scholz: ISTJ - Logistician Bärbock: I don't know, but surely ***J - wouldn't it be interesting to find some of them.. would you say that Marco Bülow is one of them?

@Tim R Well, in you Interpretation is already a part of the answer. I know who I would classify Top Tier in Germany. Let's begin with Merkel and the three Kanzlerkandidaten

I see where you are coming from! Nowadays I'm very happy compared with me 5 Years ago. I do what I love: learning People lead you astray by default. The challenge to stay on track was at first discouraging, then normal and now a game. This is not available to anyone right away. For most, including me, is a time of you need to soldier up non voluntary. I call it Purification. Your System gets shell shocked and over the time you transform. Leo called it 'holding your feet to the fire of reality' @hyruga haha funny, I implement the book right now. Delegation of repetetive tasks and development of a digital Product (no shipping, less logistics). The book is really good, but you have to be cautious with Ferriss. He sells the anti mastery mindset, while pursuing mastery himself (basicly he hacks social systems): Just 3 simple rules to acchieve like a Master... haha. Just a noob with 3 rules.. It tend to be liberating to NTs (who acchieve nothing, just study and theorizing by default) and devastating to majority who by default won't study without force

In part. There is however a Part of thede Parties which I would characterize with what the Sociologist Colin Crouch calls 'Post-Democratic'. This is characterized by an entfremdung of the People and Politicians. Democratic Acts become ritualistic. Parties orient themselves on Corporation or the 0.01% - Corruption. (...) No doubt! But no one is a great Politician AND Yellow. How would you charaterize the Top Politicians in Spiral Dynamics?

Not a bad outcome Yes and I think the goal of getting 5% would largely correlate with having Direktmandate. This reduces the way too big problem to get 5% to a smaller problem: Get a Direktmandat. Still way too big. You can reduce that to methods of getting people to vote for such an candidate, but mostly it would be a derivate of 'providing value'. Here is my step by step manual: Politicians in the making go to formal meetings of regional politicians and make notes about what they talk about, what they as new politicians need to learn to keep up, what they are lacking, how the rituals goes... After learning that, they seek a project that is small enough to be solved at regional level, but important enough for the normal citizen. They Research it deeply and solve the problem in Theory. If everything is clear: laws, stakeholder or whatever.. They go to the most promising established faction and tell them about the problem. In the concise description is already the answer. You presenting yourself as an expert, someone who is useful. The Faction (say SPD) make things happen takes the praise. After some time you repeat that. And again. And again. The other Politicians and the bureaucrats will notice the new politician, our expert. Ordinary People will recognize over time the worth of your Inquiries. I think in 10 Year steps here. At some point people ask for Interviews. Now can the new politician 'go live'. I call that politican apprenticeship and I would donate 50€/Month to someone doing that for the next 10 years in Full Time. Of course there would be a need for more Patreons, so to speak. If someone isn't paid, the person will be distracted with the need to make a living. I have already 2 people in mind which I know for more than 20 years, who would fit if they were willing to do that. We'll see. I will not do it, my life purpose is to bring learning to the people and not politics. But I will do that I can to support someone or some party if they are integer to me I argue that all these Parties are structural remarkable similar (let's not talk about everything right of FW, please => trash). They are not build for participation of ordinary people and this is due to developing in context of the larger system I think there would be a lot of usage for that. I can for example imagine a single Direktmandat Yellow Politician without a big Party emerge and become 'a voice of reason' or 'mediator' between factions Exactly

Isn't it also about you mindset? A dependent Person will be a wage slave, no matter the type of job. You wrote 'love the living fuck out of what you're doing' - I think that's not practical for most people. A nice starter mover is not to hate what you need to do (like a stoic)

Why would you change how you do things? Maybe I don't understand that right. That sounds like that's the solution. Can anybody do it?

These 'Yellow Thinkers' are to me mere Critics, not System Thinkers. Yes, I heard sometimed valueable critique from some AFD MDB. But how is that an Indicator of Yellow? And even if it were one - what about the great majority of AFDlers who are certainly not even Orange?

@itachi uchiha Just bite the bullet and put in the work. If you want to get good at programming you may need to sacrifice you comfort for some years. I would encourage you to not let this be your life strategy. And yes, I you are 'good' one hour a day is enough to stay on track. But don't do this nonsense: Don't sacrifice your health for little money like so many coders.... you realize that this is a 'damn I dropped out of college and need to pay bills' - Industry? Meaning: There are a lot of Basic Level people, but not even enough decent and let alone good or master coders...

What do you mean by 'I'm not there yet with DOM'?

@Klara That 20h-goalis an ideal I attempt to reach for 3 Years now. Even when I'll reach it, it'll might be a not lasting period in my life, but I can surely imagine enjoying my late 30s like that. By the way I don't talk about all work, I talk strictly about the work one is forced to do to make a living unless you are rich enough to live off the dividends. I work a lot more than even the 40h i talked about earlier, but that work I WANT TO DO and thus not a burden, but a blessing (so to speak)

I'm overwhelmed with the effort you surely had to list that! The most likely Candidates to get 3 Direktmandate are for me: FW, Volt, Tierschutzpartei and Basis. Let's forget about the other ones, especially about the bad far-right ones. I care for contemplation 'good change'. I think any of the above Parties winning 3 Direktmandate would accelerate change, because it would show that something other than the big parties is even possible. Even with few Seats 'könnten sie das Züglein an der Waage sein'. But even more important is the sign that things can be accomplished. You could however make the exact opposite case that you should try to change the existing parties, because that is more likely to change something. And Germany needs both, however I don't see myself joining any of the 6 old Parties What do you think about what I wrote, @Heinrich Faust ?

The attempts to appeal to below green folks is very orange in my book. Take the shameful Volkslied Video.. 'We need to project that an Image to get bigger' - and so sloppily executed... what is that other than Orange, an aping of Yellow.

I'd prefer working even less, like 20h. My Energy is influenced by the number of people I have to talk with (I'm a Introvert). Talking with people takes half my time, either meeting or periods with non-deep work.
