    What institutions did the middle east foster instead? Cunning, Cheating, Lying, Rent seeking, taxing trade routes rather than producing. They lauded inbreeding, familiasm, tribalism, and not trust and productivity – and they rewarded dogmatists not talent.

    @clairlemon West and east used tests successfully to filter out corruption for positions in government. Same for military, then same for academy. Wealth is available across the bell curve, with complexity (IQ) determining your market. You need conscientiousness to accumulate that wealth.

    @clairlemon I don’t want to be the front man on this subject but he’s not trying to take down psychology, he’s trying to justify arab immigration to the west, and satisfy the chip on his shoulder as a christian arab. His empirical work was a dead end, and he can’t tolerate the truth: Trust.

    EXCHANGE OF KIN AS SECURITY

    —“Uncle Curt, what was it called when Kings would exchange Princes for a required amount of time, and keep as their ward the exchanged Prince? As this was keep the Peace.”—

    Meaning changes over time. So that’s why it doesn’t immediately come to you.

    Hostage: “a lodger held by a landlord as security”.

    It’s hostage, although it means something more like ‘guest held as security’. The modern meaning has been twisted – and fairly recently.

    COMPARISONS

    A hostage held as security under guarantee of safety vs a hostage hold for ransom under threat of harm. So it’s held as hostage (safe), vs held for ransom (harm).

    ETYMOLOGY

    hostage (n.)

    late 13c., from Old French ostage, hostage “kindness, hospitality; residence, dwelling; rent, tribute; compensation; guarantee, pledge, bail; person given as security or hostage” (11c., Modern French ôtage), which is of uncertain origin. Either from hoste “guest” (see host (n.1)) via notion of “a lodger held by a landlord as security” [Watkins, Barnhart]; or else from Late Latin obsidanus “condition of being held as security,” from obses “hostage,” from ob- “before” + base of sedere “to sit,” with spelling influenced by Latin hostis. [OED, Century Dictionary]

  • WHAT DO PEOPLE MEAN BY TRUST IN THEIR GOVERNMENT by Micah Pezdirtz 1) Confidence

    WHAT DO PEOPLE MEAN BY TRUST IN THEIR GOVERNMENT

    by Micah Pezdirtz

    1) Confidence in transparency (warranted or not)

    2) Consent to policy as comprehended

    3) Satisfaction with perceived outcome.

    (CD: That is constitutional quality. I have to put that in there somewhere. Well done.)

    === in response to ===

    In the political context, when people are expressing in their government, it only refers to three factors (a) the framing of the debate by the media, academy, state complex, (b) the orderliness or at least comprehensibility of the patterns of speech and (c) the current levels of anxiety for the future.

    In other words, the academy, state, media, create demand by generation of conflict, just as diversity of race, ethnicity, and class generates conflict, just as ideological competition creates conflict. The state generates conflcit for ATTENTION which gets them POWER.

    Trust is a synonym for predictability over time.
