John and Danny discuss Spiral Dynamics, a psychological framework that describes how human values and worldviews change over time in response to life conditions and experiences. We outline the main stages of the spiral, from basic survival instincts to complex systems thinking, and consider how they shape our behavior, culture, and society. We also examine the benefits and challenges of each stage, how to communicate and collaborate with people who are at different levels of the spiral, and how to apply them to our personal and professional lives.
