Spiral Dynamics Stage Yellow Examples Mega-Thread

[Matt23]

Here's a perfect example of 3 stage yellow minds (I'm pretty sure) getting together and talking.  

I think if you're confused about what stage yellow may look or think like, this may help.  

I find these guys really allow people to see stage yellow thinking since their articulation is so masterful.

You don't have to watch the whole thing, just seeing a part of it could give you an idea... i think...but i dunno

Enjoy!

I'm of the belief that all forms of art are turquoise as they invoke the experience of the wonder of God. The conceptual content or the message behind the art is merely peripheral to the experience of art.

I think he is yellow, or at least sounds like one. Talks about systems, and explains ideas by connecting it to evolution and in a weird way not all can follow him.

The "Open Source Initiative" is yellow in terms of information and code should be available and accessible to everyone. And if u see the pattern all yellow comes from green. They also started by creating a culture of free software, so all softwares should be free and open source.

@Virgo I agree Owen is yellow. He's actually one of the least materialistic people I know of now. He also studied spiral dynamics a couple years back.

Found this guy today but he seems really openminded, most episodes look to me like yellow vs blue.

Who exactly is the yellow one?

@Carl-Richard The guy behind the channel

@Villager Albert Steven Crowder is bluer than a smurf. He is essentially doing the political equivalent of street preaching under the guise of open conversation. You could argue that his way of initiating conversation somewhat resembles the openness of yellow (most likely a result of having to repeatedly de-escalate heated public conversation), but if you watch some more of his content, you can easily tell that the underlying motive is to preach a selected set of beliefs, namely stage blue/orange values. No yellow person would go "x is right - change my mind". It automatically sets the stage for motivated reasoning.

In a theoretical sense you might have a point, but in practice you make yellow to be something outworldly which it is not. Yellow interacting with the world that's below automatically steps down, which doesn't mean you should stop discussion altogether.
Yellow is finding systems which are the most beneficial for everyone involved in a systemic way basically. Sometimes it needs to downgrade because the system spoken off is lower tier, yet there is nothing wrong with talking about lower tier systems.

While what you said is correct, Steven Crowder is not yellow. He is a blue ideologue.

Honestly I don't know shit about politics in the US and Steven Crowder but the concept of the show is cool. I think it could make people more openminded, it sure got me to question some of my beliefs.

[LaucherJunge]

@Carl-Richard
Would like to see you having a discussion with him then on how he is a blue ideologue, pretty sure wouldn't go your way.

@LaucherJunge Of course it won't go my way: that's just in the design. Either way, you can't convice a blue ideologue that he is a blue ideologue. That would infact make him yellow

It's a cool concept, but in this case, I just feel it's a cover for making fun of stage green college students as a point scoring exercise. That is really why he became sort of famous: for poking fun at "crazy SJWs". If he really wanted "an intellectually stimulating conversation", he could rather spend time setting up formal debates with actual debaters. I think what the streamer Destiny is doing on Twitch is a great example of how this can be done (he is also really interested in debating Crowder on several issues).

In fact you can. That's exactly what he is doing with many of the people he talks to. 
Shocking news for you, being an SJW doesn't make you green, many of them are blue in fact.

Partially true. The most radical parts of any movement tends to devolve into absolutism and other blue qualities, and in the case of movements with primarily green values (social justice), they will sometimes contradict their own values. For certain SJWs, you could say that the way they "relate" to their core values has hints of blue, but if you look at the actual values themselves, there is very little blue about egalitarianism, diversity, sensitivity, tolerance, inclusion, cultural relativistism, and political correctness.
