Does Love of Politics Evidence Clinging to Morality?

[Joseph Maynor]

I notice that it’s mostly the Blue, Green, and Turquoise people (though Turquoise less so than Blue and Green) that are genuinely triggered by politics.

How can you claim to transcend morality, yet be up to your eyeballs in political interest?  This is an example of where talk gets mooted by contrary walk.  Talk is easy.  It’s walking the talk that’s impressive.

Collective Ego. Purple/animism is the beginning of politics. The rest proceeds from there. Red/shamanism, or ancestor worship. Blue beginning of a code of behaviour(morality). Orange/Individualism(Ethics). Green I think gets way overused, many of the "progressives" are armed with baseball bats, can see them on the net, most of what is green is probably purple/animals.

I think the idea that someone can be only one stage is garbage, at least in Freudian school you have complexes, that interfere with consciousness, so people act like animals in politics, totally ignoring presumption of innocence and at least all things potentially being equal, which they aren't. Equity I think is a better concept than equality, but I go with the classical definition, given the decay of general human I.Q.

Transcendence is a different perspective - it doesn't necessarily mean loss of interest. It means loss of attachment, identification and contraction. 

I've transcended science, yet still have interest in science. It's amazing how science integrates with art, music, poetry, nature etc. . . 

It's all great to amuse the personality, yet at the end of the day it's all inherently meaningless.
