zenmaster- Fascinating! I need to let these stew for a while. But for the sake of clarification:

The fourth subdensity.

What are the criteria you use to make this determination?

Roughly: 1st: .1%, 2nd: 10%, 3rd: 20%, 4th: 40%, 5th: 30%, 6th: 10%, 7th: 1%

Ditto.

The study of Spiral Dynamics, which has attempted to show how commonly expressed values may be identified as groupings (memes) which tend to follow a developmental progression. Each meme has a completely arbitrary color code: The 4th subdensity is "blue"

Blue: Authoritarian Loyal to Truth, which is defined by social grouping. Purposeful and patriotic, leads people to obey authority, feel guilty when not conforming to group norms, try to serve the greater good through self-sacrifice. Works very well in industrial economies. Discipline is strict but usually fair and often public (flogging in Singapore, e.g.). U.S. has shifted away from BLUE industries, which have moved to Mexico, Taiwan, Malaysia, and elsewhere that this BLUE is now strong. BLUE industries will eventually move to Africa, in Beck's opinion. Moralistic-prescriptive management techniques. Organizational structure is pyramidal. (Boy and Girl Scouts, Billy Graham, Puritan American, Confucian China, Islamic fundamentalism, 40% of world population, 30% of power)

The 4th subdensity exists in the U.S. as the "bible belt", but most of the U.S. is now 5th subdensity. 20% of the U.S. is working in the 6th subdensity.
