An extremely 'Yellow' answer from Jordan Peterson. 

Very pertinent, because it shows the nuance of stage Yellow, but it is evident that Leo's answer to the same question would've been more Turquoise.

We are enslaved by anything we do not consciously see. We are freed by conscious perception.

Dont know if anyone says said this yet but Joe Rogan / the Joe Rogan experience? I think this belongs at yellow especially if something like Wikipedia does, according to him his goal is to learn and engage with many different peoples perspectives and ideas and share those, he also seems interested not just in understanding different perspectives and models but self actualizing and getting closer to truth (I gather this from when he talks about his personal life on the podcast) open to disagrement about this though, I could be wrong. And not all of his content is stage yellow, certainly.

I just finished The Passion of the Western Mind Book by Richard Tarnas and with this book i will educate my children. This was fucking awesome. Dude is yellow, maybe more. I just started listening to some of his interviews.

 

“The decisive question for man is: Is he related to something infinite or not? That is the telling question of his life. Only if we know that the thing which truly matters is the infinite can we avoid fixing our interests upon futilities, and upon all kinds of goals which are not of real importance. Thus we demand that the world grant us recognition for qualities which we regard as personal possessions: our talent or our beauty. The more a man lays stress on false possessions, and the less sensitivity he has for what is essential, the less satisfying is his life. He feels limited because he has limited aims, and the result is envy and jealousy. If we understand and feel that here in this life we already have a link with the infinite, desires and attitudes change.” - Carl Jung

(He was already mentioned in this thread by somebody else)

The attitude of exploring ideas, not caring for them being "fashionable", making statements with probabilities attached to them

(lol, that's the attitude Leo advocated in the "Mechanics Of Belief" video)
