Mecher and risk
Lewis's hagiography of Savior God Supreme Angelic Lord Carter Mecher only answers part of the important historical questions, but has some useful insights about personality.

The unique power of PERSONALITY became lethally clear in 2020. I was already well aware that status and popularity and good and evil are innate, but I still had some illusions that systems and structures could constrain personality. 2020 proved that innate personal power is ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. No system intervened to stop the holocausters. No system prevented the rare GUTSY opponents from opposing. It was ALL about innate character.

As told by Lewis, Mecher's rise to power was classic psychopath. He was BORED STIFF in environments without extreme danger and extreme risk. He found his calling as an emergency room doctor. Soon he got bored with single emergencies and wanted to be around #Whole-of-society emergencies. He found his calling as Bioterror Commander, creating fake worldwide risks and exerting personal power to kill everyone and eliminate the fake risk.

The ultimate psychopath job within the medical realm.

I'm thinking back to the '70s and '80s when I was involved in hippie-type causes and projects, and more generally involved with people.

I figured out the innateness of status a long time ago. I hadn't connected it with risk until the Lewis book bridged the gap.

Low-status people are low-risk people. High-status people are high-risk people.

Highs are constantly taking risks and inviting Lows to go along. Lows, if they know their own limits, refuse to go along. Highs then mock Lows as cowards.

The correlation is clear, but the causation isn't. I think it's partly learned. When I was younger I did sometimes take 'heroic' risks to help others. The result was drably predictable: Lectures and punishment. I stopped taking risks and stopped trying to help.

At the same time I saw the Highs doing EXACTLY THE SAME THING IN THE SAME SITUATION and getting rewarded and admired instead of punished and lectured.

This is somewhat parallel to the Cinderella prank. Highs write myths that convince Lows to attempt the risk of romance, knowing full well that the Low will be shunned and punished for his attempt. The High can then move in and do EXACTLY THE SAME THING, gaining even more respect and sex by comparison with the miserable intolerable SAME ACTION by the Low.
