@Fadl You can also read more about Don Beck's work in Israel/Palestine which goes into depths on the memes present in these countries.

Dave Ramsey is a good example of healthy blue and orange.  He emphasizes discipline, honesty, personal responsibility and a Christian code of ethics.  I’d say he’s more blue than orange because of a Christian framework that prioritizes the family unit over individual ambition.  

It's a healthy blue that augments healthy orange and green.  Interestingly, his Christianity is based on a direct experience of reading the Bible instead of just following other religious people.  

 

Why The Prosperity Gospel Is Wrong!:

His perspective here is nuanced and fair to different sides of the argument.  

 

We Need More MEN In This Culture:

Doesn’t blame women or culture, but stresses personal responsibility of both men and women in creating a strong family.

 

A healthy Blue/Orange defense of Jay-Z, lol:

 

Caller was not expecting Ramsey’s reaction:

You mean confederate flag or actual KKK?

watch this blue guy take the political compass test, and greens reaction to it. 

It really gives you an insight into the blue mind, and the degree to which they’re basically living in a different universe. Like, imagine thinking porn should be illegal...

John Butler beautifully teaches a stage blue person how to change their ways

Is the "giving a name to your baby" cultural norm stage blue? 

What I'm trying to say, your parents choose a name for you, "against your will"  in a way , and indoctrinate you to belive that you are actually called " Joe " , when it's a totally relative and meaningless label. 

You are totally free to introduce yourself to others as Arnold from today on, and refer to yourself as Arnold. If you want. 

Same goes for last names. The pride of your last name, the desire to get married and pass it to your children, etc. 

[Carl-Richard]

@mmKay Or you can look at it from the perspective of being a Stage Purple construct. The name is given to you by the tribe as a way of establishing your relationship to the tribe. Only other people can call your name. Language is a social construct, which means that your name (tribal identity) can only ever arise inside a tribe in the first place. Having a name is therefore as much a collective function as an individual function. You don't need a name if you're alone.

Love that! That's hilarious! And admirable in a way too. 

It reminds me of Xi Jin Ping:

Both Jon and Xi take honour in doing "what's right" for their people, and see opposition to them as being evil. 

There's lots of parallels between chinese nationalism and american nationalism, yet they are at odds with each other. Same values, but fighting each other. 

"China will never try to dominate or conquer"

oh yeah, wait till ya get to orange

English domination all over again.

Can you imagine showing this to a group of rednecks in Kansas? They would think these guys are doing a terrorist chant to summon the ghost of Bin Laden.
