💡 we note a Substack°hard word which claims°hard word that, instead of a "Big Five", there is actually a Zipf°hard word distribution of discernment°hard word of various°hard word attributes°hard word.
The most discerning°hard word one, named ALPHA°hard word, is:
FOUND IN WORDS LIKE "considerate°hard word, peaceful°hard word, respectful°hard word, kind, courteous°hard word, unaggressive°hard word, polite, agreeable°hard word, cordial°hard word, reasonable°hard word, pleasant°hard word"
OPPOSED°hard word IN WORDS LIKE "abusive°hard word, belligerent°hard word, disrespectful°hard word, quarrelsome°hard word, unkind°hard word, rude, bigoted°hard word, intolerant°hard word, inconsiderate°hard word, uncooperative°hard word"
in the traditional°hard word "Big Five", closest°hard word to "agreeableness°hard word"
described by that guy°hard word as "social°hard word self-regulation°hard word".
The second-most°hard word discerning°hard word one, named BETA°hard word, is described by this guy°hard word as "dynamism°hard word" - impulsiveness°hard word v. cautiousness°hard word.
🔥 obviously, a "positive°hard word" ALPHA°hard word is generally coded°hard word as 好 in society, and I tend°hard word to have "negative°hard word" ALPHA°hard word.
This is partly because "ALPHA°hard word" is in fact a conflation°hard word of multiple°hard word different factors°hard word. If all of these things cast°hard word a shadow, then°hard word "length of shadow" is ... not the most important factor°hard word in measuring them, but it is the most discerning°hard word.
I could call "positive°hard word" ALPHA°hard word as "eloi°hard word" and "negative°hard word" ALPHA°hard word as "morlock°hard word" and would be, more or less, correct.
Just because the extremes°hard word are "polite" and "abusive°hard word" doesn't mean that everything should be measured on that scale.
💭 perhaps, in conclusion°hard word, this mythical°hard word ALPHA°hard word is best described by Milan°hard word Kundera°hard word at the start of The Unbearable°hard word Lightness°hard word of Being (who quotes°hard word Parmenides°hard word). There is a sense that "brightness°hard word", "fineness°hard word", "warmth°hard word" have one attribute°hard word, and their opposites "darkness", "coarseness°hard word", "coldness°hard word" do not. But which of "lightness°hard word" and "weight" has the attribute°hard word?
Regardless°hard word, my conclusion°hard word is that "ALPHA°hard word" proves°hard word too much, and is inherently°hard word self-contradictory°hard word. The version°hard word he calls "rotated°hard word" removes°hard word at least some of these problems, and is to be preferred.
🔥 of course there is self-interest°hard word, as, as noted°hard word earlier, positive-ALPHA°hard word is coded°hard word as "good in all circumstances°hard word", and I am coded°hard word negative-ALPHA°hard word in a way that relies°hard word on "even a smart°hard word nine year old could see through the holes in the high-positive-ALPHA°hard word mindset°hard word".
✨ trust not in those who worship°hard word models ...
Ultimately°hard word, the sin°hard word here is that which Nietzsche°hard word pointed out. Is the dimension°hard word "good v. bad" or "good v. evil"?
🔥 when you cast°hard word both to the same scale, one has the uncomfortable°hard word property that the opposite of "ungood°hard word" is sometimes "good" and sometimes still "ungood°hard word".
