<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I'm clocking in at 7 to left and 6 to
the anarchistic (down), but find this kind of "test" is prone to
conflating things I don't like to conflate. Even Myers-Briggs
with 4 and Enneagrams with 7? have too much of that going on
IMO. <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I also don't think this is calibrated
well, nor is it necessarily a linear metric. Not trying to
dismiss or abuse it, just noting that it all deserves some
normalization.<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I also find that these fit my *personal
preferences* for how *I* want to live, not necessarily my
preferences for how *everyone else* should live. I know a LOT of
people who feel a lot safer if they in an authoritarian matrix...
it gives them some kind of security to have a person, a party, an
ideology to defer to. I also prefer to be a lot more generous
with others than I think a lot of people naturally do (and more
than I once did myself)... it helps if I know them or at least
have met them in person, but I'm not particularly against a whole
world full of people who are getting their needs met, either
through enlightened, individual self-actualization or
participation in a somewhat more herd/pack/tribe/hive model for
meeting those needs. My inner-complexicist gives extra points
for a spectrum of diversity and scale... rugged
anarcho-primitivists all the way to near-hive-like naked-mole-rat
communes. Though I suppose I'd rather have a beer (mead brewed
in a hole in a rock?) with the former than the latter.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">If I had a stronger inner-authoritarian
I would probably contradictorally dictate to all that they must
choose an entirely anarchistic life which was simultaneously also
extremely generous and accepting of others... <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I also wonder how most of us would
clock in if/when/as we had less privilege... it might be possible
that the privilege of being a member of the first world, most of
us male, most of us nominally "white". We might find that if we
got caught more often between push and shove, we might seek a more
authoritarian matrix where nobody else could force their personal
will on us because the collective/governance will was too
strong/rigid to allow for it? We also might find that if we felt
like we lived in a world of true scarcity, we might not be as
eager to share... we might be a little more greedy (or more aptly,
desperate?)... <br>
