> the correct answer to “What main MtG color are you?” is almost always white
I was with you right up until this line. It seems like most or all the previous examples of White that you gave involved groups of humans cooperating, or the attitudes of society in general. And if we look from that kind of perspective, observing the collective, it seems like no surprise that we’d see White.
Whereas, on the other hand if we looked at the daily life of an individual and asked why they do the things they do, wouldn’t we be seeing everything as Red/Black?
Even if you look at individuals, we are far more concerned with social pressure, social status, and morality than could possibly describe a red/black world. Blue cares about what’s true, black about what’s useful, red about what’s appealing, green about what’s natural. Only white cares about what’s good, and by extension what’s bad.
The fact that shame works and guilt exists are solid proof that white is a very powerful force in our individual psychology. These are things that other colors find alien.
