Humility can be so important for making society run well because on the micro level, humility is what makes us say "you know what? It is a good idea for me to be quiet in libraries."

I think that many people are stuck in the teenage mindset of "who cares, I'll do whatever I want" which, despite being an important stage of psychological development, is realy selfish and annoying- and can be super destructive to society if carried into adulthood.

It's ok for teenagers to go through this stage of new independence, which sometimes goes into the "screw you" mindset, but only when there are adults who can put them back in line. Without them, society is screwed...

Semen is basically liquid courage - it should not be seen as a dirty substance - it should be seen as the elixir of life, which is how ancient Taoist sages saw it.

I have a public-speaking client who has a big speech coming up, and I've challenged him to avoid any loss of the sacred fluid - I look forward to hearing from him how this makes him courageous such that he performs, instead of merely speaks.

Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali did the same before their performances 😃

Stage Orange in Spiral Dynamics represents a significant leap in human development, characterised by a focus on individualism, achievement, and the pursuit of success. It's a stage where people embrace rationality, capitalism, and a meritocracy-driven mindset.

However, it's important to note that while Stage Orange has many positive aspects, it also has its share of potential pitfalls.

Steve Ballmer has completed public-speaking:

The other day, while I was reading a book, I started to think about all the things around me which run out: money, fuel, water, even the ink in my pens- and then I laid back randomly and my hands landed on my chest so I could feel the heart🫀beating...

Having solidly embraced Orange for the past 6 months to create my desired life situation, I will now be looking to embrace more of Green and spending more time in Green circles.

I will try to do this without losing touch with Orange, and the Orange circles which I’m part of, until my life situation has truly become my dream situation.

So I'm going to be attending a Meetup event for Green people called Mantra Vibes, where they play bongos, chant, and do other early-Green stuff.

I've made a change.org petition to the UK government to make it mandatory for adult sites to have proper age-verification on their websites in order to protect under-18s from accessing the adult content.
