I think Slack as you describe it (haven’t read Sub-Genius yet) is blue-green. It’s not just about letting the world show you your correct place in it and letting that make things easier. It’s using a green tool, circumstance judo and relaxation, as a means to an end, in a systematic way. A pure-green approach to Slack would never see any reason to consume it; it would not have the concept of Worth It. It seems outside the spirit of true slack to not ever do anything.
I think blue as the other pole, both because it’s an analytical framework (and Subgenii are mainly drawn from a very intellectual, blue subculture) and because it a) is definitely a contrast, a “if the string is too tight, it will snap; if the string is too loose, it will not play” deal, and b) Slack seems more strongly opposed to the black philosophy of power, than it is to the blue philosophy of understanding. Blue is already more willing to hang back and wait for the right moment.
