Interesting take on society, nihilism and culture from blue/green perspective

[liamnewsom202]

Had a friend send me this and i thought it was an interesting watch. As a young person growing up in this culture I directly see the way the narcissism and self absorption is just so blatently infused into us collectively. The way we interact with our devices and social media drains us of our humanity and leaves us hollow and in a feedback loop of alot of toxic orange values, validating our crap ideas, depressed, self loathing, lost in hollow narcissistic comparison. Feels all too familiar to me

Seems like this guy sees the issues quite well, I like his takes on nihilism and post modernism. I do think hes criticizing it from below somewhat and making a big demon and boogeyman out of whats happening rather than seeing it as a necessary stage and a reaction to that which came before it. Idolizing blue and "the past" and how great and connected it was missing the pitfalls there. Missing the point of the blatant attention seeking and abolishment of rules and heirarchy found in this youth orange/green post modern culture, instead judging, acting as a devil and pushing it outside of himself. Maybe a bit of a lack of empathy and self love.  Seems to have some strong blue shadows of conformity, traditional and religious values being the best and a separatist mindset of separating himself from the culture and world around him. Didnt particularly care for alot of the comments and community around the video aswell. 

Regardless of some criticism and things I saw, I found his insight into the real problems of this youth culture of nihilism very fascinating and I feel he integrated some interesting philosophy and knowledge to help make his points. Could relate a lot with my own direct experience of being enmeshed in this world and similar things ive had to face and come to terms with in my development. This topic and dissection of our youth culture seems important and not being explored as much as it could be, thought it might make for something interesting to share here and go into a bit more from a more integrated yellow level.

   Us humans were introduced to gadgets that our minds were unable to handle. If we base it on the Spiral, our society is a rainbow of Red, Blue, Orange and Green. It was bad enough in the old days when you had the majority Blue and Orange, but you add the outraged and offended Green and conflict is sure to arise. Add social media, where the world IS your reality, and everyone in it has an opinion that MUST be shared, but should that opinion be different, respect for such is thrown out the window and a fruitless debate must begin. The losing debater is then allowed to add insults and ridicule in an attempt to balance the field. The human ego is in complete control of our society and unfortunately this isn't going to change any time soon. I think we always have to learn the hard way. Almost like distraction and suffering was a part of life.

   But that's ok. Although I have compassion for my brothers and sisters, our moment is exactly as it was meant to be and we are experiencing exactly what our existence requires. Sometimes I wish I could do more, and then at other times, I ask why for?
