My ranking system

One quick thing before I begin my post. I think it would be funny to constantly have a visual diagram of all my friends rankings in the form of a chart on my wall at all times. I would keep them informed at all times of their relative ranking and try to make it such a sought after honor that people would start playing into my game.

Now the real deal, in my Quest discussion (once again) we were asked to evaluate how we know our values were authentic. Basically how do you know if what you think being a good person is really right. I was all up on that, you see I have my ranking system. I know how I view people and the categories to put them in. There are 5, two negative, one neutral and two positive.

To preface I view the world as a battle between chaos and order, or problems and solutions if you will for the purpose of my ranking system.

At the center is the "Non-Contributor" this is a person who in their daily life don't't really cause any problems, they may recycle inconsistently, be involved in an argument from time to time, but mostly they just exist, they neither contribute positively nor negatively to the world. They can be represented mathematically as a 0.

On the negative side have our first step which is the anti-contributor. This person has an active negative effect on the world. They don't recycle ever or even care for it's causes. They may still harbor prejudice towards one group. They often start conflicts, and arguments. They don't seek to destroy solutions, but they make them much more difficult to happen. It's not so much an evil as a selfish taking in of the world. Rather than replace a lightbulb, they will call the lightbulb company and bitch about how it is out. They can be mathematically represented as a negative 1.

On the Positive side our first step is the problem stopper. This person recycles but doesn't develop new ways to recycle. They clean up their floor, but don't design new methods of organization. They may also encourage others to recycle. In the long run they may have a positive effect on the chaos of the world. During their lifetimes their "space" in the area of life is occupied by order, and there may be a short continuance of this order through others after their life ends. They contribute during their lifetime but nothing more. Mathematically they are a 1.

On the far end of Positive we have what I call a solver. This is the person who invents, solves, and sees problems for just what they are. This is the person who rather than sit there and not be racist himself goes out and fights racism. Or the person who is like, "these candles are a rather dangerous form of lighting this room" then goes out and invents a light bulb. They take a permanent bite out of chaos. Instead of fighting that part of chaos back their entire life, they kill it so nobody ever has to worry about it again, permanently winning a battle for the side of order. Mathematically they are a 2.

FINALLY, the -2 is basically the opposite of a 2, a "Trouble-Maker." They actively seek to put problems into the world, they create non-issues and get thousands to argue over them. They scare people into thinking there are weapons in the next room and convince everyone to kill everyone in that room. They scare people into thinking if they are bad the floor will start on fire and make people chase false pursuits instead of being solvers. They are bad. While "Solvers" may be permanently taking chaos away, these people are adding new bits in that never used to exist.

Makes sense eh? I want to be a person who contributes something to the world that permanently eliminates a part of it. I want to be a 2, or the very first 3. That'd be pimp tight.
