Something I'd like to share, A world coloured in Orange
Shared by a friend of mine, this video mentions certain facets that I came to perceive over the years of my own understanding, like a concept of levels of consciousness, enlightenment, if you're aware of it or not, maybe it seems familiar or maybe something of a guide for you, found it covered some references to certain points I've attempted to make in the forums recently, it's quite interesting to me and if you're interested in the psychological in particular, take a look (It's long, over 2 hours, prepare yourself).

Want to get to know me a bit better, Click me and take a read of My Dragon Profile Page, it's a bit dated but still relevant.
I take this quote from a review that I agree with.
"customisation is so linear; everyone is after the optimal dps:survivability ratio with 0 reliance on other players = autonomous gameplay... Players don't need each other anymore... which in my opinion is a bad thing."

I guess Mr. Peterson has hurt your soy-infused feelings. He is far from boring and unlike you, a true genius.

Alex Jones is a living legend. He shed light on the cremation of care ritual, that is annually held at the Bohemian Grove. But i am sure, you've no clue what that even is. Try taking jabs at people who deserve it
In case you'd like to educate yourself, here you go:
Be careful, though.. the footage is pretty disturbing.
P.Z. Myers is a well known leftist SJW advocate (a person like that should never be taken seriously), of course he is cherry picking the wrong points Mr. Peterson made and while doing so, is entirely missing the points Mr. Peterson is trying to actually bring across.
Try harder.

Aesica, I love you! Almost as much as I love John Oliver. ❤
Yes? No? Maybe? Kinda? Sort of? Possibly? Anything?

Also let us remember that while jones and philip joseph watson are screeching about soy femenizing men cause it supposedly destroys testosterone...
hbomberguy expounds on the topic
you know... since the jones fanboy above brought up soy.

How to elaborate without watching, basically describes a level of Consciousness that is rather predominant mindset in today's business indoctrinated world, using reference points to elaborate with examples, describing it's attributes and referencing people in contrast (Suppose it could be cut in half without it but again, points to relate to/understand by), how it's gone out of control about things like materialism, self absorption, greed, corruption, scientism as the new religion etc and how one can progress through said state of consciousness, a journey, it's a gauge to relate and can encompass other degree's of coloured states with this reference, can/does fluctuate.
To make a jest once watching this -
"Why do you have to be so Orange? why can't you be more Green!"
You know, if anyone bothered to watch, I'm curious if anyone even understands/can relate to this?

Mmhm. Why am I not surprised. So this basically looks like just another "I have the answer to all the problems" thing. Funny how many of these there are. Sad how many people get sucked into them.

Well "the scientific method" is meant to be a way of exploring the world in a more fact and observation based manner as opposed to turning to belief/superstition for answers. Not really sure how taking the more intellectual approach to something is bad, but I should note that "scientism" is often used in a pejorative manner.
This whole thing is starting to smell a bit quackish to me, especially since I tried giving the video a chance, but as pointed out by others already, the guy really wasn't saying anything substantive. I couldn't last 10 minutes.
Yknow if people believe this stuff I am genuinely worried. This isn't stupid, this is outright mentally unstable. If anyone thinks Alex Jones is anything but a mentally unstable person on TV, they should probably get help, and at all cost avoid ANY type of intellectual discussion.

So yeah, he's brilliant. A brilliant con artist.
In General reference; It's interesting how adverse/dismissive others are at understanding my messages and find something that would be implied as potentially negative connotative to scrutinize, either you do understand but don't want to admit to avoid being considered "Different" as to be ridiculed, like by our charming friend Lezard, disregarded from social conformity or you don't understand or care to either way, I was relaying some of his phrasing he used in the video, it was referring to those people that adhere blindly to science as if it was absolute, a religion, similar dogma, different system, ironic isn't it? if any of you watched the video he does explain a bit about this.
I understand science is a tool to analyze the world around us, does also depend on the person using it and as fulfilling as it may seem, we been taught to accept it, embrace it, believe it, to confirm or be denied because of mass indoctrination/Acceptance, it still relies on our cardinal senses, so you may find solace and comfort in that conformation bias but has anyone considered the possibility of anything else outside of that realm of this perception? most would believe is beyond comprehension, because we weren't given any other options to explore, thus the doubt, disbelief, criticizing, tribalism, rhetoric and mockery that is also mentioned in the video, that division,
This isn't part of the video but it's a analogy and I'm speaking in general here, not just towards you Aesica, you don't see air but you know it's there, you can feel it, breathe it, you don't see brainwaves but you can still think, yes science does help to clarify it but if you want something more extensive think metaphysical, energies, spirits, dreams, love, other realms/dimensions, maybe it's just a human construct, a fabrication, maybe that's what you believe or maybe not, that's the type of subject we haven't fully understood or if we ever will, it is what is is, the 9/11 "Incident" for example recorded a spike in activity when people responded to said "Incident" doesn't that indicate more then we're able to perceive? far fetched? then perhaps consider the possibility that we're all interconnected?
I don't know what type of spiritual needs/journey's any of you maybe undertaking, their is more to life then what we been taught to believe, but I wish you well, positives and such, spread the love. ♥

Yes actually. There are a lot of things that scientists have discovered that neither you nor I can normally see. The difference between that and the woo woo that people like this try to pass off is that there is evidence of these scientific phenomena. Acknowledging that there are things beyond our regular human perception is fine, and in fact every scientist will happily tell you that there are quite possibly many things we don't know about and have never perceived. However, those things remain irrelevant until we can actually know about them.
A common thread with woo woo artists is that they want to convince you that these things can simply be reasoned into existence - tell a good story and it all makes sense ( so long as you accept the premise, which hasn't really been explained ) so it must be true! It's up to you if that serves as a solid foundation for accepting the existence of something - me personally I want something more substantive. See science does this great thing where it actually does something with the knowledge that comes of it. Woo woo artists at best will write a book, and fatten their wallets.
Yes rtma. I'm a total conformist, prone to just going with the crowd so as not to risk becoming an outsider. That's the spinnytop everyone knows and loves.
No don't worry, I get the general idea of what the guy is getting at. The problem is that it's all useless. There isn't really anything you can do with what he's saying. It's just 2 odd hours of having fun with the imagination and thinking up systems that are fun to think about. He's not really so different from one of us when we sit down and spend some time thinking up a power framework revamp - except that in that case, the time is spent on something that might yield some results.
It's not ironic at all. It's not even coincidental. People accept science and its premises because we're all sitting at a computer and communicating over the internet on a forum for a video game. These things didn't come from spirits or olympian gods. Conversely, I don't have anything around me that I can point to that did come from spirits or olympian gods. Furthermore, science doesn't even accept itself as absolute; the process of scientific discovery is a continuous one, with previous ideas being proven wrong and replaced by more accurate models as new information comes to light. Unlike religion, science doesn't have the ego to present itself as a system of absolute truths - it simply presents itself as the body of knowledge that we have discovered thus far, without the pretense of having figured out the entire universe before even exploring the vast majority of it.

Your analogy is almost as flawed as the original video, although of course not as flawed as Jones and his mass conspiracy theories (most of which fall apart on at least one of two bases: 1 - how do the conspirators benefit? and 2 - how is any large group supposed to keep a conspiracy secret for any length of time? Look at the Watergate conspirators - they all had a very good reason to keep the whole thing hidden, because failing to do so meant lengthy jail sentences, but it still lasted for less than two years before blowing wide open).

You know how many people these "don't be a conformist, be orange special" selfhelp booklet "all solutions for your life included for $399" thingamajig spergz end up helping?
Absolutely no one. (well, not entirely true, it does help the stuck up idiot who writes this crap by adding extra 0s to his already inflated bank account)
Want to be different and stand out from the crowd?
Go help at your local shelter. Donate blood. Cook up something, put up a stall in front of your house and offer a bowl to the poor and in need. Volunteer at a pet shelter.
HELP OTHERS that aren't as privileged to just be bored in their house and stuck up thinking "how can me tell others about me being special orange instead of conformist blue me me me me me me"
Those people? I have no idea who that is.
Also scientific dogma can refer to things that have been proven beyond any reasonable doubt, but that is a very different meaning than dogma in religion. The scientific method is all about disproving things (which is why it's full of things like "we are x.x% certain about this and that"), that is pretty much the opposite of religious dogma or dogma in a any traditional sense.
It's human nature to not only question the world around us, but also to attempt to fill in any unknowns with "maybes." If you don't approach these maybes in a logical, scientific manner, you're setting yourself up to drown in garbage/misleading information and alternative facts.
We don't need to actually see something with our eyes to observe it. Air can be quantified, measured, smelled, felt, and even seen under the right circumstances. Hold out your hand, palm open, and wave it back and forth like you're fanning yourself. You can feel it offering resistance. Brainwaves (well, the electrical impulses that make the thinky thinky stuff happen) can be measured using the right instruments. We've even been able to manipulate these signals in rudimentary ways using technology.
What purpose does thinking about such things--that which we cannot see, interact with, nor even prove the existence of--even accomplish for us? I could tell you that underpants gnomes are real, even though you can't see them, hear them, or even observe the results of anything they do. Why should you believe my claim? How would believing my claim improve your knowledge of the world? Right, it doesn't, because it's irrelevant nonsense.
Remember, the burden of proof lies with the one making the claim, not the one refuting it.
PS: "Dimensions" are length, width, depth, time, and beyond. A dimension is not an alternate reality/realm/etc.
omg i believe you! to what account do i make $$$ transfer

@spinnytop @aesica @aiqa Thank you for giving me varies degree of reasonable and rational explanation along with a few others despite the digression of this topic, my apology to spinny if my perception of your psychological character is misplaced, I don't apologize for trying to be truthful, I'm using the Spiral Dynamic's video as a reference point to understanding.
@lezard21 You seem to misconstrue the context yet again and ad hominem, you should be aware that one man/women alone isn't going to change the world for the better, people have tried, not saying not to try but the tribalism render us helpless on our own, as long as this system is used to distract us, manipulate us, exploit us, control us, how else do you think conformity works? it's a perpetuating cycle on circumstance, human nature and indoctrination but we have a choice to do this together to make change,
I surmise people choose the easier to just label and move on but consider this one variable of many, I don't expect anything to change here, this is a gaming forums after all, so what if the context has meaning, people like to compartmentalize, return to your own interests like everyone else, it's easier that way, right?
@jonsills I was making a analogy, like how do you explain colour to the blind or how do you explain music to the deaf? they have to open their eyes and ears to see and hear it themselves, before using scientific instrumentation to analyze it with meticulousness.
@pantagruel01 "You don't have a message. You're pointing people to someone else's message."
Aside from a few threads I have attempted to do so, living a life attempting to understand the why behind the what is (like why are we treated this way? why do they not understand me? etc), to articulate the words for communication, the world we live in, the nature of humanity, the cycle of conditioning we're subjected to and more recently the aspect of levels of consciousnesses leading upto using the Spiral Dynamic's video as a reference point to understanding.
An analogy applies here, I show you the door, it's up to you to walk thru it.

Then their seems to be a degree of tribalism here, the conflict of perceptions/perspectives, How is this being disagreed upon? to clarify this has nothing to do with the business (Construct/Indoctrine), is this something you cannot interpret about Consciousness? because it cannot be seen outside of the actions of physical form and mass consensus considering it's only a state of being awake or asleep (Maybe it is), so it's considered useless to you? their is meaning behind the words, even if it seems philosophical/metaphysical/speculative.

So I tell you that people in this thread often disagree with each other, and to you that is an indication of tribalism? I think you don't even know what tribalism is. When people behave in a tribal manner it means they go out of their way to pretend they agree with each other for the purpose of producing the illusion of solidarity, primarily to pursue the goal of keeping the group together and defeating outside forces viewed as other tribes.
What you'll notice in this thread is that individuals are responding to you, often in different ways. Individuals who disagree with each other on a daily basis about a myriad of topics. You're not facing tribal opposition, you're facing opposition from several individuals who have no allegiance to one another. In fact some of them quite dislike each other. It's about as opposite a tribe as you can get.
You need to look up the definition of "word salad".
Look, it's fun to imagine stuff, but you need to be able to avoid getting in your own head over it. I know you have some... stuff, that makes you more prone to doing that, but there are people that will help you learn how to avoid that sort of behavior. This sort of thing just isn't healthy. It's fine to explore these ideas, but when you become so obsessed that your reaction to those ideas being criticized is to throw out accusations of tribalism as well as disparaging remarks that only make sense in the context of the ideas that you're defending then... well, you're falling victim to the very mentality that produces tribal behaviors.
