Some of the U.S cities are the most conscious in the world

[playdoh]

I’ve traveled to many places and IME this is the case. Nothing like an Austinite or conscious hippy chick from Colorado. 

My examples. Austin people are so open & friendly! Not reactive. 

I’ve meet a few scandanavians & many seem to be a bit arrogant. Not to mention some Western European countries/cities like Paris/some places in the UK. I’ve yet to see the openeness I’ve seen from Americans. 

And all this talk about green. I see so much silence in green! They just like playing music and have big hearts!.

I thought more people would find this topic interesting. Don’t you agree @Leo Gura? I know you’ve spend time in Austin and get the vibe there.

Up.. super interested to here someone’s thoughts on this.

Europeans may come across arrogant, as there is still this emotional baggage of being hundreds, maybe even more than one thousands years of being ruled under monarchy and that's how their status game is structured, while american countries, even latin american countries have more of a pragmatic view point of you in their inner little status game, also filled with emotions. If you want to dipe deeper into this topic, I can recommend you Pierre Bourdieu's work about habitus. As an example, europeans, based on their conditions, may develope a sense of responsibilty just by their mere existance, which is this so called "royality" and a free way ticket to success there, the only downside is, it cant be faked.

It's really griddy and technical and time consuming understanding this correctly, so I don't, I would recommend you going down this rabbit hole, but hopefully I could help you.

If you meet an Austinite they’re pretty mindful about things, not so emotional as you say.

Yes most big cities in the US tend to be more progressive and stage green. Austin is a good example. Also NYC, Tampa, LA, Miami to an extent.

Did you read my original post^. And Miami is not green at all. Lots of red & blue from all the Latinos.
