Advancers vs. Maintainers
Responsive Vimeo Video
Advancers
  • The Advancer tries to be most useful for civilization
  • Advancers follow their own curiosity and build their own independent understanding. As a result they have a very good understanding about a lot of different fields. This is how they become irreplaceable
  • Advancers think fundamentally about the world and the value they can provide
  • Advancers deeply care about doing the right thing and they work very hard
  • Advancers bring humanity into an exciting future
Maintainers
  1. The Maintainer's main aim is to be liked by society. So they engage in things that are seen as good by society but that aren’t necessarily good for civilization as a whole
  2. Maintainers don’t form independent and creative thought. They don’t care about truth
  3. They follow generic education and end up in gruelling competition and sameness
  4. This is how they become replaceable
  5. Maintainers don’t have very strong convictions and they are easily influenced
  6. They can’t create new value because Maintainers don’t think from fundamentals
  7. Maintainers create regulations, undermine merit and hold humanity back
The second group is mostly present today
  1. One can also think of Thinkers and Repeaters. Or Players and NPCs
  2. Unfortunately the second group was always the dominant group
  3. People don't really think and question things. They are not active but reactive
  4. They are slaves to the system and act in protection of it without realising
Conclusion
  1. People that repeat or are NPCs are essentially not connected to their light beam
  2. They are not connected to what they truly love. They are not fulfilling their potential
  3. They are confused by all the things the environment, the state and the media tells
  4. If you are offended by any of this, then you most likely think like a Maintainer
  5. Our current civilization creates Maintainers, Repeaters, NPCs. Unless we do something about it. It will stay the same
  6. As long as there is a majority of Maintainers, mankind is at risk
  7. Because the world cannot stay in stasis. It has to grow. There is no way around it
  8. The best thing we can do is to be an Advancer ourselves and inspire others
  9. Just imagine how much more beautiful civilization will be when we all focus on it
  10. The progress of the last decades was really dull compared to what could be
  11. The very nature of a human is curiosity and improvement. Doing what inspires us
  12. Also the real fun comes from the doing, solving problems and moving towards a better future
