Also, your comment, or the process of replying to it, makes me realise that I havenât made it entirely clear where something like âwillpowerâ fits into this framework. I think Iâd put willpower under âpowerâ, as it helps an actor execute its plans. But willpower could also arguably fit under âbenevolenceâ, as an actorâs willpower will change what moral beliefs or values they in effect act as though they have.
I think thatâs a good example of a way that BIP overlap. Also, intelligence and power clearly change benevolence by changing incentives or view of life or capability of making an impact. (Say, economic growth has made people less violent)
Indeed. One thing thatâs true is that many actions will âdirectlyâ affect more than just one of the three factors, and another thing (which is what you mention) is that effects on one factor may often then have second-order effects on one or both of the other factors.
