==== The Dupes ==== | |||
People who believe they can infer someone’s true intentions, beliefs or morality based on their support for, or opposition to, the policy initiative. | |||
==== First Principle Thinkers or "Contrarians" ==== | |||
The individuals that hold nuanced positions that oppose the policy on the x-axis, but support the moral virtue on the y-axis. In the words of Eric Weinstein, “These are people who are thinking for themselves, and are not buying baked-cakes. They’re buying the ingredients and they’re saying, well, I want more of this ingredient, I don’t like that ingredient. So they’re attempting to avoid having any pre-baked idea put in front of them.” | |||
==== Troglodytes ==== | |||
Those who oppose the x-axis policy and possess the moral vice represented by the lower-half of the y-axis (e.g. sexists, racists, bigots, etc). | |||
==== Rent Seekers ==== | |||
"Woke" people or companies who have a vested-interest in the x-axis policy because they profit from it, but do not produce much or anything of value in return. | |||
=== Visual Explanation === | |||
The horizontal line (or x-axis in mathematical terms) represents one’s level of support for a particular policy initiative. The vertical line (y-axis) represents some kind of moral virtue. | |||
