I set aside a few hours over the weekend and read these articles in full. Most of the one from Jeff Booth was familiar to me, because I actually discovered Nostr from watching an interview with him where he was speaking about many similar topics. The Spiral Dynamics one was interesting and made sense as a mental framework for viewing different kinds of awareness.
You're very lucky to have been able to achieve a state of mind where you're completely unphased by the state of things.
I identify with many concepts from the Yellow category, but not to a degree to be able to just be laid back about everything.
Lucky is the correct term. While I have done a lot of work to get to this state I know it's only possible because of all the influence that other people had on me and just being born & raised under the right set of circumstances.
I now want to help others achieve the same (first time I'm not just lurking and consuming content on social media) and am still struggling to put all these ideas out in a coherent form. But I recognize that raising collective consciousness will rid us of a lot of what we currently perceive as evil (just like we collectively recognize that quartering criminals is not the right form of justice anymore - in fact it never was).
In hindsight I now also recognize where people tried to help push me to improve but I completly missed those at the time as I wasn't ready so it's a very individual journey but bitcoin plays a vital part in helping many advance from the lower levels.
