character development

    Godzilla Minus One was surprisingly good!

    Redemption story, more about character development than monsters. Brought me to tears at times.

    Have y'all seen it? What'd you think?

    Can someone actually have any Teal if they score 0% Orange, Amber, Red, and Magenta? Going through the scores of the Better Political Conversations quiz is fascinating. (reference: https://www.guidedtrack.com/programs/we0q1pq/run)

    Now, this very well could have been someone running an experiment to test the scoring, or to try to get a sense of a friend or family member, but they did give a name where a lot of people leave that blank.

    Their scores are:
    Teal 55%
    Green 45%
    Orange 0%
    Amber 0%
    Red 0%
    Magenta 0%

    Is it at all possible that someone could select every single response at Orange, Amber, Red, and Magenta as False, wrong, or just doesn’t make sense and have any actual Teal?

    Also interesting, I got an email from someone who thinks of himself as primarily Orange, but was surprised that his quiz results came out 0% Orange. He referenced his Meyers-Briggs results as a reference in support. Utterly fascinated, I’ve asked him to let me know what correlation he sees between the Integral levels and Meyers-Briggs, and I’ve asked him what statements at Orange would have had his quiz results come out accurate for him.

    Each time I make a significant edit in the content of the project I make a note of the change in the google sheet where I’m keeping track of scores. Here are the averages of the currently 75 scores:

    Amber 26%
    Green 25%
    Teal 21%
    Red 12%
    Orange 11%
    Magenta 5%

    One blatant pattern I’m seeing is that high Green scores ALWAYS pair with a high score in Amber, and that people who have that pairing always score exceedingly low in Red and quite low in Orange.

    cool! Yeah I think Captain America’s character transformation throughout the whole series is in many ways the crowning achievement of MCU storytelling. Iron Man’s story is beautiful too, but it’s somehow a little more on the nose or something?...

    The Diplomat is amazing. The Netflix show, The Diplomat is amazing. I love it – it ticks all of my boxes for suspense, romance, intrigue, and things I can’t name.

    Did you see it, did you like it?

    I’m watching A Discovery of Witches and also enjoying that, but both Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches and Interview with a Vampire are sadly proving unwatchable.
    Love to hear what you’re watching and loving

    I haven’t yet, now I’m curious! I’m really enjoying ANDOR, the Star Wars show. I am very impressed by how good of a story and execution it is, how real the characters are....

    The production values are a bit janky, and it isn’t super consistent in the first season, but with that said: Babylon 5. It was one of the first series where it was all more or less planned out from the start as a big narrative / character arc, rather than being a...

    It's too intimidating for men to be men. Alright, here’s one of my most controversial opinions, and I’m gonna try to take the filter off as much as possible:

    Feminism has played out as retribution instead of solution. The Barbie movie is an entirely thorough example of what I’m talking about. You suppressed us, so we’re gonna use any means necessary to take over. And then they recreated the same imbalance in its opposite.

    I see most social movements do this too. True solutions to imbalances aren’t fair because they don’t have human-enacted payback. You suppressed us, so we’re going to move toward balance.

    I’ve been spending about 2 years trying to set aside my learned default into my masculine energy (having grown up in highly feminist orange/green) and learn how to root in my feminine. But my feminine longs for a tether to something rooted. Masculine energy feels rooted, solid, grounded, and my feminine very much doesn’t (though it is held by a spacious ok-ness, but it’s so airy it easily gets chaotic when not balanced in connection with a grounded masculine.)

    But I’ve had a hell of a time finding grounded healthy masculine men. Many of them can do it for a time, but then flee to an extreme, like angry resentment at one end and non-binary softness at the other end. And I think it’s because the culture has become super aggressive to men who are solidly men.

    My memory of the final discussion between Barbie and Ken was them navigating towards not defining themselves in terms of each other, and that Barbie could have continued on the arc you’re pointing at and not including Ken in that insight, but ended up trying to do something...

    Where do you see the synthesis in the Barbie movie? Maybe her convo with god and choice to leave the Barbie realm to enter the human realm? I was thinking about how in Barbie realm the women used manipulation and trickery to take all the homes and power and then just told the men...
