Quite "coincidentally" my partner just decided that she wanted me to watch this:
So, this is all laid out very nicely and is in many ways self-evident. But it is still presented as a step-by-step process of unfolding or stages that one "must pass through". Don't get me wrong, this looks like a brilliant model.
Let me see if I can explain this from a different angle.
I appear to have been born aware of the Turquiose Holistic Meme.
As a child, when I was first learning science in primary school, I had wrongly assumed that it was being taught in the context of this Turquoise Holistic Meme, when in fact it was being taught in the context of the Blue Purposeful/Authoritarian Meme. This was very confusing to me as a child, and my Turquoise Holistic Memes were taken by others to be "cute" or at most "fanciful" ideas.
When I got to secondary school and I was able to take "advanced" science classes, I was thinking to myself, surely they are going to get to this Turquoise Holistic Meme stuff. Again I was wrong. It was actually coming from the standpoint of the Orange Achievist/Strategic Meme. Here the Turquoise Holistic Memes were taken by others as "impractical" and "naive".
When I got to the University I thought to myself, now surely HERE of all places we are going to get to the Turquoise Holistic Meme stuff. Again I was quite incorrect. This time science was presented to me from the standpoint of the Green Communitarian/Egalitarian Meme. Here my Turquoise Holistic Memes appeared to others to be "disrespectful" to the establishment and "elitist".
Well, could you imagine how elated I was to find a naturopathic graduate medical program where I thought now absolutely HERE in this place, we will FINALLY get to this Turquoise Holistic Meme stuff! Mmm. Nope mostly Yellow Integrative Meme viewpoints and my Turquoise Holistic Memes appeared to be "narrow" and "inexperienced".
Drats, foiled again.
