@Leo Gura you said earlier that 9/11 firefighters where stage blue. What made you think that?

Well... it's a broad generalization. I can't know for sure. But Blue is the type of person who would die in the call of duty for his country/people.

Reminds of the movie Ladder 49, which was a stage Blue tearjerker:

Same phenomena as jumping on a grenade to save your troops. Classic Blue move.

Hacksaw Ridge is probably the most positive depiction of stage Blue you're gonna find:

Not surprising, given Mel Gibson is a stage Blue kinda guy, so he glorifies Blue.

Yeah very positive manifestation of blue. The guy would even help the Japanese because his duty to god would come before his duty to his country  

Patriotic and religious at the same time creates interesting behaviours

Marcus Aurelius' Meditations are Blue at it's healthiest.

Although, Aurelius has been criticized by historians for exterminating Christians. Which is not at all surprising.

The 9/11 hijackers were also Blue.

Which Blue Americans find very offensive when that's pointed out to them because it's too much truth for Blue to admit.

Blue has to deny the atrocities of Blue in order to stay Blue. Blue has a good set of justifications for distinguishing itself from other forms of Blue which are obviously unhealthy.

Can you explain how Zen monasticism is blue? I thought most of the western folks ending up there would have seen through materialism and be looking for something deeper in their lives. I guess I'm thinking of people that have become dissolutioned with their materialistic orange based societies and seeing that consumerism doesn't make them happy. Are they not training have love and acceptance of all, and being more tolerant of all others, and ultimately progress up the spiral??
