Spiral Dynamics Stage Orange Examples Mega-Thread

[Leo Gura]

Hey, ya'll, I need your help!

I want to create a comprehensive list of video examples of prototypical stage Orange thinking.

This is not meant to humiliate or demonize stage Orange. It's meant to be an educational tool for people learning about Spiral Dynamics.

So towards that end, scour Youtube and find all the videos you can which exhibit stage Orange thinking. Try to find videos which are short and sweet. The more diversity we can display here, the better. Try to find examples from various cultures: Europe, Middle East, Asia, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, Africa, South America, etc.

We will create a mega-thread like this for every stage in the Spiral, from Red to Turquoise. But here, let's just focus on Orange. Each week I will start a new mega-thread topic for the next stage.

Do not start a political debate in this thread! It is not our goal here to defend our personal political positions or to judge any stage, but simply to compile examples.

Thanks for your help! I'm excited to see what kind of juicy stuff you dig up. Try to be selective with your choices.

This can turn into a really cool list.

Guys, when you're posting videos, try to find short snippets which demonstrate the point in a minutes or two.

Hour long videos aren't good for this list.

We want to find examples which distill Orange down to its essence.

I want to know why Products and companies  that are full of bulshit to the consumer is in the market? Isn't it WHO is the the one that will ban such products amd companies? We have WHO for that... They are responsible for the health right?  What is the reality there.. in WHO, and other authorities?,.. brands and other business trying to persuade us that their product is healthy, and many benefits.. that all you need is there.. WHO is the one that makes sure what they are trying to say is TRUE,. And have some inspection to their products before they go to the market
