Orange Low Consciousness goes to Space

[Revolutionary Think]

Hi all so about a month ago I volunteered for the National Space Society's International Space Development Conference. When I volunteered for those 3 days I had the time of my life. It was so exciting to learn about all the science and technology that went into space exploration. I felt like I was a VIP I was talking to all sorts of important and intelligent people rocket scientists, actors, sci-fi creators, astronauts, and not to mention I met the richest man in the world Jeff Bezos and gave him my business card. On the third day I met a Jewish Atheist (I'm Jewish myself) named Howard and we really hit it off well. We both talked about how we supported Israel and our passion for science, technology, space travel, as well as education reform. I asked Howard and if he meditated and he said no he said he'd get too bored doing nothing and he has the urge to constantly do things. I told him that my 300 hours for being a teachers assistant for a 3D printing program was expiring and if he could help me transition into another job. He said he had a press writer job in mind but, it would be volunteer and it wouldn't pay anything. So I said thought that maybe it'd be a good opportunity to network and may lead to something better so I accepted it. He gave me his email and a special number to conference call so I could get involved and talk with his friends.

So after being in contact with him virtually I started to pick up on orange behaviors of people who are very analytically, scientifically, and arrogantly minded. He wanted me to write a press release about Jeff Bezos and how he saved the expanse then when I finished the press release and he edited it someone else was supposed to send it to the proper people for it to become a release that person didn't do it and I ended up losing that story that I spent so much of my time and energy on. In addition to that he scolded me for asking a question about what the difference was between the NSS and the NSC. Mind you this guy isn't even paying me. His signature for all the emails he ends is this:

Author of: The Lucifer Principle: A Scientific Expedition Into the Forces of History ("mesmerizing"-The Washington Post), Global Brain: The Evolution of Mass Mind From The Big Bang to the 21st Century ("reassuring and sobering"-The New Yorker), The Genius of the Beast: A Radical Re-Vision of Capitalism ("A tremendously enjoyable book." James Fallows, National Correspondent, The Atlantic),  The God Problem: How A Godless Cosmos Creates ("Bloom's argument will rock your world." Barbara Ehrenreich), How I Accidentally Started the Sixties (“Wow! Whew! Wild! Wonderful!” Timothy Leary), and The Mohammed Code (“A terrifying book…the best book I’ve read on Islam.” David Swindle, PJ Media).Former Core Faculty Member, The Graduate Institute; Former Visiting Scholar-Graduate Psychology Department, New York University Founder: International Paleopsychology Project. Founder, Space Development Steering Committee. Board Member and Member Of Board Of Governors, National Space Society. Founding Board Member: Epic of Evolution Society. Founding Board Member, The Darwin Project.

Then he gives me another assignment which is to talk about a 6 parts COTS space program and then when I ask one of his friends for more information he kind of scolds me again and tells me it's my responsibility to do my homework first and ask questions later and those 6 parts aren't even specified. The orange side here is very obvious his time is valuable and precious but, I'm just an expendable piece of raw material that's working on what he wants... He's written so many books, probably made a lot of money, and got to do so much with his life yet, here he is too cheap to pay me a stipend for what I want to help him with and he's arrogant enough to scold me when things don't go his way!? I may have felt great during my volunteer experience with the NSS but, I can now see it for the celebration of stage orange spiral dynamics that it actually was. It kind of reminds me of George Carlin when he talked about if we really want to introduce our shitty low consciousness values into space.

@Revolutionary Think That is what happens when you have expectations from People that they will be in a certain way you believe they will be.

I have been there many times, i was volunteer in a refugee camp and the guys who guide the volunteers were the most hatred close minded people , demonizing anything western, countries, borders, companies etc You would assume that these will be people with empathy bu they were only to what serves their philanthropic agenda.

I learned to never assume anything, look behind the layers, everything is possible.

Right exactly. First impressions are only first impressions.

First, Second, Third, Fourth, etc. etc. impressions are all wrong. We never know anyone. We don't know ourselves. When we think we see people, we never do. Even our spouses, children and friends.

I already knew that but, I was seeing it in action.
