I'm not pulling my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for other drive to work at home edition.

0:06.7

Okay, so I've been doing a series talking about the philosophy of three color pairs.

0:12.2

So far, I did the three, three color pairs that were all what we call shards or arcs, meaning they were in a row.

0:19.7

So it's a color ends two allies.

0:22.1

But now I'm going to start doing the color ends to enemies, what we call wedges.

0:27.2

So today we're going to start with red, white, black.

0:32.3

Okay, so what I've been doing for all of these is start by talking a little bit about the

0:35.2

individual colors, then talking about the color pairs, then talking about how they work when the three of them are together.

0:41.4

Okay, so we start with red. Red is action through freedom. Red believes that you have to follow

0:50.5

your internal body knows what it wants.'re you're you have a little voice

1:33.0

And one of red strengths is because it's in the moment, because it's spontaneous, it can act very fast, you know.

1:38.7

A lot of other colors have trouble playing against red because of red speed.

1:45.2

Because when you don't have to think things through you can be very fast now the downside to red is it doesn't think

1:50.9

things through that a lot of times red will do something that might be good for it in the short run

1:55.5

but very bad for in a long run because red doesn't tend to think long term. But red is definitely of the five colors, the one that is, you know, the most in tune with

2:07.6

what it wants in the moment.

2:10.4

Okay, white.
