Unbundling and rebundling identity along vertical/horizontal integration dimensions 🤔 Horizontal: freedom, trust, gamesmanship, rationality, risk, price Vertical: happiness, loyalty, community, meaning, enchantment, value

Your non-dominant dimension is your unintegrated shadow. You *could* oscillate horizontal/vertical yin-yang to painfully achieve full integration. Or you could kinda just leave it alone

Self-actualization is kinda overrated. It’s basically a stunt, like memorizing pi to 1000 digits or learning 7 languages.

not sure where you're going with this... do gooder/giving back is not part of this factorization... I'm partitioning based on what kind of relationship or growth dynamic governs the identity formation. I think there's horizontal and vertical ways of being a do-gooder or selfish

Self-integration/personal growth type meaning. To my mind self-actualization and do-gooderism are basically not related, though they are sometimes correlated under some ethical schemes. You can be a do-gooder without self-actualizing, and vice-versa.
