I'd pin Bill at Turquoise.

Nah, Green with some red. He was way too pissed off at the world to be Turquoise. He did alot of mushrooms and saw some things, this happens to alot of Green.

Nope, no Red. Anger does not mean Red. And his understanding was way above Green.

The guy went from an Orange alcoholic with a cocaine problem to a Green hippie. We can split hairs but he wasnt Turquoise, now if you think he was Im not gonna debate you, but in my opinion he wasnt. He definitely tapped into some Turquoise though, that I can agree with.

@Rilles Definitely some Stage Green political content and ideas, but his understanding of reality was well above Stage Green.  But anyway, that's all I have to say.

I just realized Youtube is pretty Green, pure expression in a non-hierarchial fashion, in Stage Orange you had to be someone to get on TV, now you can just upload yourself, as you are, broadcast yourself.

I dont quite get what you mean? Rephrase?

Do you mean YouTube got corrupted by Orange? For sure. But try going to CNN and saying "Hey I want to be on your show tonight". Instead you can just upload a video and there you have it, of course it takes some marketing skills though.

Videos with most views and sponsors get promoted on the front page. Not so much non-hierarchal any more than individualistic: less restrictions on the individual but still only within the confines of a meritocratic framework.

Youtube is the democratization of TV. But this democratization does not mean every Youtuber will have equal power. A natural hierarchy will emerge.

Stage Green is a bit in denial about how nature works. Hierarchies form naturally.

Pretty much what I wanted to get across. A way with words you have.

“Election" — a poem by Alfred K. LaMotte:

I voted.

I voted for the rainbow.

I voted for the cry of a loon.

I voted for my grandfather’s bones
that feed beetles now.

I voted for a singing brook that sparkles
under a North Dakota bean field.

I voted for salty air through which the whimbrel flies
South along the shores of two continents.

I voted for melting snow that returns to the wellspring
of darkness, where the sky is born from the earth.

I voted for daemonic mushrooms in the loam,
and the old democracy of worms.

I voted for the wordless treaty that cannot be broken
by white men or brown, because it is made of star semen,
thistle sap, hieroglyphs of the weevil in prairie oak.

I voted for the local, the small, the brim
that does not spill over, the abolition of waste,
the luxury of enough.

I voted for the commonwealth of the ancient forest,
a larva for every beak, a wing-tinted flower
for every moth’s disguise, a well-fed mammal’s corpse
for every colony of maggots.

I voted for open borders between death and birth.

I voted on the ballot of a fallen leaf of sycamore
that cannot be erased, for it becomes the dust and rain,
and then a tree again.

I voted for more fallow time to cultivate wild flowers,
more recess in schools to cultivate play,
more leisure, tax free, more space between days.

I voted to increase the profit of evening silence
and the price of a thrush song.
I voted for ten million stars in your next inhalation.

—Alfred K. LaMotte
