One other thought on Green in rationality: you mention the yin of scout mindset in the Deep Atheism post, and scout mindset and indeed correct Bayesianism involves a Green passivity and maybe the “respect for the Other” described here. While Blue is agnostic, in theory, between yin and yang—whichever gives me more knowledge! -- Blue as evoked in Duncan’s post and as I commonly think of it tends to lean yang: “truth-seeking,” “diving down research rabbit holes,” “running experiments,” etc. A common failure mode of Blue-according-to-Blue is a yang that projects the observer into the observations: seeing new evidence as tools, arguments as soldiers. Green reminds Blue to chill: see the Other as it is, recite the litanies of Gendlin and Tarski, combine the seeking of truth with receptivity to what you find.
