    BIG 5 PERSONALITY TRAITS

    via William L. Benge

    Need for Stability:

    Stress triggers your automatic nervous system, or fight-or-flight response. A period of arousal is followed by a return to normalcy and calm. Individuals with higher N scores have a shorter trigger and can’t take a lot of stress before feeling it. People with lower N scores are able to take abundant amounts of stress before feeling it.

    Extraversion:

    Sensation, or the five senses, is the trigger. Your E score is an estimate of the point when your motoric nervous system is aroused, becomes saturated with sensation and craves relief. Extraversion is traditionally associated with sociability because other people are the most common source of stimulation. People with higher E scores can take more sensation before becoming saturated.

    Originality:

    Novelty is the trigger. Dopamine is widely considered the “creativity” chemical, with levels of dopamine and dopamine receptors related to one’s ability to hold visual images in the mind. Your O score represents the point at which you have used up your available dopamine in your pursuit of novelty and your system says “no more novelty or complexity. Take me back to the simple and familiar, the tried and true.”

    Accommodation:

    The trigger is dominance. The arousal system consists of sex hormones (such as testosterone and estrogen) and serotonin, the neurotransmitter involved in sleep, depression and memory. For people with a relative abundance of male hormones and a relative deficit of female hormones, defiance is the norm. Someone with an opposite balance of hormones would normally be submissive. Your A score is an estimate of the point when you tire of being defiant and turn submissive.

    Consolidation:

    Distractions are the trigger. The arousal system supporting C behaviors is the attentional focus system, greatly impacted by levels of testosterone. High levels of testosterone are associated with a greater capacity for sustained, repetitive, goal-focused behavior. Distractions trigger the attentional system, causing loss of focus.Your C score is an estimate of the point when you finally say, “That’s enough focusing for now. Time for a break.”

    ( Want to thank long term followers for sticking with me as I attacked our sacred cows one at a time, to see what was true, what was not, what was needed and what was not. Thank you for the years you’ve stuck with me on the journey. Really. Love you all. )

    My contribution is that I have incorporated costs, full accounting, and operationalism into philosophy, and produced a system of categories by which we can algorithmically ‘calculate’ (not compute) tests of reciprocity – including the reciprocity of truthful speech. This is far harder than logic (set consistency), and far harder than empiricism (external correspondence). But it is just as formal as logic and mathematics.

    IQ: THE TIME COST OF ADAPTATION TO INFORMATION

    IQ is not subjective it is measurable across all ages, genders, classes, and culltures. You might say that it is but one input into personality but it will remain the dominant input across all personality traits – period. IQ largely reflects the rate of learning and the scale of the patterns that individuals can identify in each iteration of the brain (about 1/2 second). It therefore represents the time-cost of adaptation to information.

    As luxury (wealth) increases people can increase radius of externalities that they consider. This is why nations do not worry about pollution until they have to, and once they have to they turn it into a virtue. In the west we are so deep in luxury our primary trade is in virtue signals – the most egregious demonstration of conspicuous consumption. Conspicuous altruism is conspicuous consumption – usually wherever other pay the cost of their altruism.

    RATIO OF IQ TO TRUST

    You know, we talk about IQ all the time. But of IQ and trust, which is more important? Well, it looks like you need both.

    And that’s the problem. others have produced IQ. We produced both. That’s the issue.

    I mean, I”m sure if I think about it, then it’s something I should be able to find empirical support for.

    In the end the cause of trust is the militia and homogeneity.

    Truth favors the european group evolutionary strategy, because meritocracy favors the european group evolutionary strategy. The reason being that europeans have demonstrated superiority when using truth and meritocracy.

    A COSTLY BUREAUCRACY

    Pagan Roman religion was, like nearly every aspect of anything Roman, an ordered, systematic, state-sponsored bureaucratic institution [and therefore fragile] featuring extremely costly: a) hierarchical priesthood, b) vassal virgins, c) real estate d) expensive garb e) special rites and rituals, traditions, the esoteric/exoteric, national holidays, and d) of course, taxes.

    WEALTH TRANSFER

    Emperors Constantine thru Justinian, eager to appropriate middle-class resources, convert Messiah-ism into statecraft.

    DIFFERENT GARB

    A revised Hellenism emerged featuring: a) hierarchical priesthood, b) vassal virgins, c) real estate d) expensive garb e) special rites and rituals, traditions, the esoteric/exoteric, national holidays, and d) of course, taxes.

    ACQUISITIONISM: BIG 5 – AGREEABLENESS

    —“Low time preference (likeable now) over high time preference (respected later)”— Bill Joslin

    —“Female submission(now) rather than male dominance(later).”— Moritz Bierling

    —“Agreeableness – priority on social capital (property type) – low cost (persuasion-manipulation; likeability – superficial) over high cost (merit-reputation; complex, honesty, trustworthy, reliable) – skew to create-aquire (likeability) over preservation (reputation)”— Bill Joslin
