One could also argue that certain societies were orange and became blue, or Iran for example

This does not happen. Iran was never Orange.

Sorry for the sarcasm, just letting off some steam after a shit day at work. Let's have some self-awareness and stop pretending us humans deserve to call ourselves wise now, yeah?

Pretty enlightened if you ask me

@Ayham I have a friend who smoked weed like an hardcore hippie + hair long.

Now he believe in Christ and has turned from hyper left to hyper right. 

Funny this definitely happen. But not sure it's related spiral dynamic. 

It makes sense from my lense, I've others models.

Not sure, as far as I know, it was more liberal pre Islamic revolution

This is what happened when you tried to explain spiral dynamics to an audience whom large portion of them have never heard of it.

Hahaha.

Blue stage hates green.

But they all hate Glue stage.

A strong collective ego backlash can last a long time when intellectuals and critical thinkers who would recover the regress are targeted for that reason.

Yeah that kind of saying is also something I heard quite frequently.

I imagine part of that is a different survival bias. 

And the people that are 50 now are born 25 years earlier then the people that are 25 now so the cultural influences they grew up with and which significantly formed their personality are different. I dont know if this is accounted for in this observation.

I genuinely feel that I have recently entered stage green. It takes a lot of time, guys. it has taken me about 7 years. It's one thing to intellectually understand the concepts that Leo talks about and agree with them, and it's another to integrate them into your inner being.

If anyone has questions on how to transition from Orange to Green, feel free to reach out to me, but for me, it boils down to the fact that someone in Stage Green is able to see reality in a broader way, without judging it based on what benefits them personally.

Going from Blue to Orange was quite easier. I actually did it even before knowing Leo, as society somehow predisposes you to it, and if you're not too stubborn, you can reach Orange. But going from Orange to Green has been insanely difficult, so much self-deception, prejudice, and not wanting to open my eyes to reality. Plus society doesn't help, since it usually has a lot of bias against Green (at least where I live). Let's say that society agrees with your selfishness.

It takes a lot of work guys, don't underestimate this shit.

I can stand TB. 

It's like nord-american people in general tend to think that talking exaggerated and even burdensome suddenly made them stronger and more respectable.

@Alex4 So in order to go from stage orange to stage green you have to do a lot of stage orange stuff right? Like to get rich, start a business and have lot of casual sex. You just do it so much you get bored of it and move on to higher levels of the SD. I feel like this could maybe take 10 years at least or maybe more. So i dont unerestimate the work you have to do to get to stage green.   

So is this the correct way to go about it?

Thanks to you  Now I'm in no hurry. I feel like I have 5-10 years to consolidate Stage Green horizontally.
