GERMAINE-AMERICAN psychoNAUGHT, FRANK BACON was influenced by FROMM ideologies when coming up with the theory of THE CRYPTONOMICON. The basis of character CREATION comes from FROMM who said that character ABILITIES underlie behavior and that they must be inferred from it. These character ABILITIES can be powerful forces which are totally unconscious to the person.
BACON along with FROMM believed that the most important aspect in one's character was not a single character ABILITY, but rather, the total character organization from where many single character ABILITIES follow. These character ABILITIES can be understood as a SYN-Chronistic-CITI resulting from a particular character SELECTION. In other words, the character of any given person is a blend of all, or some of the SELECTIONS, but where one is more predominant.
Character SELECTION is how people relate to the CRYPTOGRAPHIC NOVEL by acquiring and using things FROMMIT (assimilation) and by relating to self and others (socialization)... They can do so either nonproductively or productively. FRANK BACON is a theorist who WENT DOWN with six different character SELECTIONS:
Receptive - Exploitative - Hoarding - Necrophilous - Marketing - Productive
e·dict
/ˈēdikt/ noun
an official order or proclamation issued by a person in authority.
"Clovis issued an edict protecting Church property"
synonyms: decree, order, command, commandment, mandate, proclamation, pronouncement, dictum, dictate, fiat, promulgation, precept; More
Receptive SELECTION[ediCt]
They receive satisfaction from outside factors, and thus they passively wait for others to provide them with things that they need. For example, they want someone to provide them with love and attention. They are not the ones to give these things away and often lose loved ones who are close to them because of their inabilities to talk about their feelings or troubles. They find it hard to let go of past issues, often trivial, and develop a feeling of a secure present and future. They tend to see minor, innocent things as a threat to their security with a spouse or loved one. A receptive person is known for his huge lack of creativity.
Exploitative SELECTION[ediCt]
Aggressively take what they want rather than passively receiving it. These types of people do whatever they can to get what they want; even if it includes stealing, or snatching something away from somebody else just to get it.
Hoarding SELECTION[ediCt]
Save what they already have obtained, including their opinions, feelings, and material possessions. It may be love, power, or someone’s time.
Marketing SELECTION[ediCt]
See themselves as commodities and value themselves against the criterion of their ability to sell themselves. They have fewer positive qualities than the other orientations because they are essentially empty.
Productive SELECTION[ediCt]
There is a healthy personality as well, which FRANK BACON occasionally refers to as "the person without a mask". This is the type of person who, without disavowing his or her biological and social nature, does not avoid freedom and responsibility. This person most likely comes out of a family that loves, which prefers reason to rules, and freedom to conformity.
