## Within today's sociopolitical landscape, Openness and Agreeableness have a tight allyship and hegemony, though this allyship is beginning to fray. Liberals tend to be primarily Open, while leftists tend to be primarily Agreeable. The Conscientious disagreeables advocate for the hierarchy, and the Agreeables advocate for the disruption or even destruction of the hierarchy. Openness bounces between whomever allows the most freedom, tending to side against the order that has become an old, outdated, and corrupt tyranny. Neuroticism is also mostly in the middle. This dichotomy, between hierarchy on one side, and the criticism of hierarchy on the other, is classically referred to as the Right and Left, respectively. These definitions are overly simplistic and thus must not be applied so broadly, for the consequence is sociopolitical division and exacerbated polarity. Again, when negotiation ceases without the emergence of a new social contract, the only interaction we have left between us is war. [Klaus] If the left and right cease negotiation, war breaks out, new boundaries are drawn, and a winner is eventually declared. You end up with east and west berlin, where the balance is completely lopsided. [footage from meet the mormons?] You end up with Utopians on either side. Utopians are responsible for every major disastrous movement to have ever been realized; the belief in a perfect world that we can build ourselves up to [tower of babel] brings about not Utopia, but Dystopia, every time it is attempted. Archetypically speaking, we cannot build ourselves up to Heaven, we can only try our best to live the best lives we possibly can, in a way that doesn't make sacrifices of the balance required for the sustaining of life. We cannot build ourselves up to Heaven, but we're certainly capable of digging ourselves into some fresh Hell. Perhaps the most far-reaching truth that has been revealed to me in my twenty-three years of life on this earth is this: If you don't believe in Heaven, you're not looking hard enough; if you don't believe in Hell, you're not looking at all. Heaven is all around us, but it's subtle, quiet, and rarely recognized and appreciated. Hell is also all around us. Hell is in the loss of a loved one. Hell is in the eyes of the drug-addicted man who stares at passers-by from the gutter. Hell is in those who struggle to make ends meet. Hell is in those who don't know how they can make it another day. Hell stares you in the face when you turn on the news. Hell is in watching the results of an election, terrified that your life will be dictated to on high by somebody else's favorite tyrant. Hell is in pain, from everything as simple as the smart of a stubbed toe, to the searing pain of a mortal wound. Hell is in those who shake their fist at God. Hell is in those who take out their frustration with cosmic injustice on all the innocent around them who don't deserve it. [lenin, stalin, marx, school shooters...] Hell is real. If you've ever been conscious you know Hell is the realest thing we can ever have the misery of witnessing. Conversely, and more subtly, Heaven is also all around us. Heaven is in the safety and comfort of one's own home. Heaven is in the embrace of a mother [iron giant]. Heaven is in the kindness of a friend. Heaven is in the presence of those whose existence proves you're not alone. Heaven is in the courage of those burdened with the responsibility that comes with power, who refuse to use it for anything that isn't good [iron giant, spider-man]. It's easy to believe in Hell, it's hardly even a choice. It's the damn hardest thing any of us can do to even believe in Heaven, let alone to bring it about. When we're in Heaven, we should thank our lucky stars it's graced us with its presence. And we won't dare attempt to force others to bring about our pathetic imitation of Heaven.
## Utopians believe too much in a heaven that exists only within their minds. They believe it can be made real, which is delusional. They don't believe in shooting for the moon and at least landing among the stars. They believe in absolution to their aim, and the destruction of all who stand in their way.

If one, the other, or both temperaments refuse to at least leave each other alone, they will then enter into war with each other. And that's not a threat, that's a prophecy.
