What's a traditional gender role?

What is cis-genered l privilege?

Great questions for you to contemplate! These are the types of contemplations that can help a Blue/Orange person expand their awareness into Green.

Imagine being a nonbinary person. How might this person answer your question?

So a nonbinary person isn't trans female or male? I don't know.

You said they are irrational, but I don't know what you fully mean.

A nonbinary person does not limit their identification to either male or female gender constructs. I find it fascinating to contemplate and I’m so curious how  novel nonbinary identities might emerge.

Part of the Orange to Green transition is to see how adherence to traditional male / female roles and bias toward a cis-gendered orientation is irrational. 

Green is centered more on relative experience and being. Orange is centered on rational thought, yet is unable to see how their own thoughts are irrational from a Green perspective.

Yes, but it's one thing to say something is irrational it's another thing to explain why. So privilege is bias?

I don’t get the sense your questions arise in a mind that is genuine, open and explorative. I sense a hidden ideological agenda.

The exploring mind has the responsibility to find truth via self inquiry, contemplation, research and observation. Be aware if your mind tries to shift that responsibility to others. For example, seeking to have someone else convince you or prove to you a point. Also, a desire to protect a belief and “win” a point. These are common ego traps that constrict a mind.

I don't understand how self-inquiry is relevant to this.

I'm not awake.

By puting awareness on thoughts inherent tendency to self persevere.

Thought will try and defend its perspective as though the self was being attacked directly. 

The self is it’s content(accumulated knowledge/experience). If the content is opposed as being false, incorrect, untrue, the self takes that as a direct threat as the self identifies directly with its own content. The self is it’s opinions/agenda. 

Awareness of that brings about a rational line of investigation.

From my POV it is relative because you seem to have resistance toward what people in this thread are trying to reveal to you. To expand your mind, queston your own assumptions and beliefs. Question how your own relative experience has shaped and biased these beliefs. Question whether there is attachment and identification with these beliefs.

Leo covered much of this in his recent 65 principles for a good life video.

I’m in the Haight Ashbury right now and I can only imagine the amount of posturing and elitism JP would have here 

“All you hippies and your relativism!”

I have noticed this as well dude. 

If there is attachment/identification which is resistance, there will be a clinging and projecting of what we already know. We gain a sense of psychological security in our own bias(train of thought) like a belief/idea. 

Probably the biggest barrier to communication.

I’m imagining JP at the acid test parties in Haight Ashbury with the Grateful Dead, Timothy Leary and love-fest hippies. 

And imagine JP at Burning Man. . .

This women in the workplace thing is interesting to read what you people are saying. There are few topics more confusing than sexuality to navigate. The whole topic is surrounded by absurdly large amounts of shame and prejudice.

Most people in the world have been raised in stage blue households and in fundamentalist religion and it's no secret that sexuality is not learnt how to be healthily expressed from those environments. I come from a Muslim family, and 90% of Muslims in their upbringing have probably had the specific Quran verse asking men to "lower their gaze" (when seeing a woman they are not married to) quoted and drilled into them. I know I did and so did other Muslims I know. I was discouraged from even having female friends. You've been taught to objectify women and see them as sex objects. For most Christians this issue isn't as bad but it's still there. I never learnt to socialise with the opposite gender and so I'm fucked. I can socialise it's just that it feels even more unnatural and clunky than usual. The best tactic I have when talking to a girl is to just pretend that I'm talking to a guy and it works.

Hark ye yet again — the little lower layer. All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event — in the living act, the undoubted deed — there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there's naught beyond. But 'tis enough.

What?

You missed the part they cut out where he said "I'm not saying you shouldn't wear make-up". "I'm saying we don't know what the rules are.". Can people be manipulated? What's Vice's reasoning for cutting that out? Literally cut right before he says that.

7:43 and forward.

I mentioned this to you before about Jordan Peterson. He brings up a regressive point of view like he's simply musing about it, as an open-minded intellectual playing devil's advocate. But he's already knows how his audience will receive those "musings". He knows that his audience will make the connections he wants them to... which is that women are to blame for harassment in the workplace because they wear make-up and are asking for it. 

That's his whole game. He never commits to any of those viewpoints. But he turns his followers on to them, so they can do whatever they want to do with them... which JP knows exactly what that is. 

This is the lion's share of his manipulation game.

@Emerald I imagine all his notoriety, book sales, speaking gigs and adoration is reinforcing his ideology, which makes it harder to wake up.

I don't think he's an ideologue with an ideology. They tend to have very narrow theory of everything.
