2-02. 4th-, 5th-, and 6th-Person Perspectives

15:56 - when you can have a perspective on another's perspective, you start to transcend your own

16:09 - every holon up to red is stuck in its own perspective (1st person perspective)

16:30 - when red hits, concrete operational thinking emerges, the ability to think about thinking

17:31 - thought operating on thought, hypothetico-deductive reasoning

17:41 - conditional reasoning, what if I did this, or as if I were doing this

17:57 - science is a third person, universal, objective view, requiring a third person perspective capability (late amber and above)

20:08 - the insight of green - there are different perspectives beyond the reductionistic universal truth of science

21:37 - the disaster of green - multiple truths with no way to judge them

22:50 - unchecked pluralism degenerates into nihilism, narcissism and fragmentation

24:00 - the insight of 2nd tier - there are universal currents that tie together these different perspectives

28:15 - the ideas of each stage tend to come as a package - orange introduces scientific third person concepts, green introduces post-modern, fourth person concepts, etc.

28:57 - understanding the AQAL model is taking a fifth person perspective

33:23 - each increase in perspective is an increase in capacity to take more roles, to understand more sentient beings, an increase in freedom and love

35:01 - the reason for using morphogenetic fields - an evolving kosmos solves the metaphysical problem of pre-existing structures, the great chain of being, etc.

39:34 - there are a few givens, a certain amount of things that have to be presupposed to start a universe

40:08 - pre-fixed structures are dependent on perception

40:18 - this moment prehends, transcends and includes, the previous moment, the subject of this moment becomes an object of the subject of the next moment

40:44 - once you have that, you have holarchy

40:50 - each moment has two components - continuity and novelty (include and transcend)

42:45 - if you're starting to stably transcend turquoise, that doesn't mean you're at indigo (it hasn't formed yet)

43:01 - the earlier structures were mistaken for pre-determined and fixed and eternal because they are so solidly formed

49:51 - the structures could have formed differently

49:55 - the gift of orange - the differentiation of the value spheres and the quadrants

50:14 - the mistake of orange - science colonizing art and morals
