Four Quadrant Model

From The Portal Wiki

Why pin this poll to the top of my twitter? It was for this moment: almost 50% of respondents were restrictionist *xenophiles* & not phobes! https://t.co/WgYsr8C5F9

In short quadrant II) first principles thinkers and contrarians are rebelling against the dupe / rent seeking alliance *without* xenophobia.

@AlexRussek He likely may be. But in this avatar he is first the wrecking ball.

The 4 quadrant model discussion from my @SamHarrisOrg podcast visualized.

I'm super appreciative for @reiabsamoht making this more memetic. https://t.co/z601jZYHnd

Simplified explanations of the effect of the @jordanbpeterson @cathynewman @Channel4News interview on the viewing public.

Which, if any, work best?

@jordanbpeterson @cathynewman @Channel4News [soooo...This is what happens when too many people complain that the 4-quadrant model is somehow too complex and/or that we really should have a name for these alternate voices.]

1/ In the 1st of 2 articles on unspinning news, @theknifemedia has chosen to deconstruct the @cathynewman @jordanbpeterson interview using the 4-Quadrant model from @SamHarrisOrg & @RubinReport.

[The model was developed years ago for this exact reason.]

@tomeclarke @theknifemedia @cathynewman @jordanbpeterson @SamHarrisOrg @RubinReport I only vouch for what I can read. My typical example: I can vouch for the Christian Science Monitor as a Newspaper, even though I may view Christian Science *very* differently.

@theknifemedia @cathynewman @jordanbpeterson @SamHarrisOrg @RubinReport End/ In a second article, @theknifemedia explores the general power of the 4Q-model for combatting the @cathynewman strawman/scapegoat technique by applying it to @BenAffleck/@SamHarrisOrg, @EvergreenStCol/@BretWeinstein, Catherine_Deneuve etc... https://t.co/1in290lJMC

@greygatch @theknifemedia @cathynewman @jordanbpeterson @SamHarrisOrg @RubinReport @BenAffleck @EvergreenStCol @BretWeinstein They increased the limit. Try it again.

@ma93828819 @theknifemedia @cathynewman @jordanbpeterson @SamHarrisOrg @RubinReport @BenAffleck @EvergreenStCol @BretWeinstein Astute.

This would be so much easier if Journalism didn't have Journalism as it's own ever-present permanent blind-spot. I'm convinced that only Journalist-activists get us to Trump in 2020.

@VinnyM27 You think I voted for Trump?? Source please????

4:13 PM · May 24, 2018

@VinnyM27 Your inference is wildly off.

The Four Quadrant Model introduced on my @SamHarrisOrg episode & then developed on @RubinReport's was created to explain incidents like the recent @jordanbpeterson interview by @cathynewman of @Channel4News which all-fit-this-pattern.

It's pretty clean.

@SamHarrisOrg @RubinReport @jordanbpeterson @cathynewman @Channel4News [This prototype chart made possible by the meme-generators of the (improbably named “Bret & Eric Weinstein Party Canoe”) group on FaceBook. All gratitude to them for their tireless insanity and genius.] https://t.co/6jziwFuwZM

@jimcadden @SamHarrisOrg @RubinReport @jordanbpeterson @cathynewman @Channel4News Level of support for the policy.

@dandrezner "all these thinkers can do is appease their followers. They are thought leaders who cannot demonstrate any leadership." -@dandrezner

Nice to meet you Dan. But that "take" comes from where exactly? Research? Personal interaction? You left me confused because it didn't make sense.

5:18 PM · May 11, 2018

@dandrezner @bariweiss Splendid. But that "Take" isn't what the IDW is about. I mean do you take issue w/ my work on labor markets? Mortgage backed securities? CPI and GDP? Bret's take on drug testing on specially bred mice? Heather on risk in Education? Ben's conservative objection to Breitbart/Trump?

6:45 PM · May 11, 2018

@dandrezner @bariweiss Are you objecting to Sam Harris' desire to put transcendence into Athiesm via meditation or even psychedlics? Jordan's emphasis on needing to offer unapologetically family/work-oriented male models to outcompete the lure of hate?

It just seems you found a take without a basis.

6:49 PM · May 11, 2018

@dandrezner @bariweiss May I ask you to look again or too explain why all the interesting things we talk about are of no interest? You might want to look at my essays on Russell Conjugation, Excellence, The crisis in Physics, Four Quadrant model, Kayfabe, Anthropic Capitalism, Coasian immigration, etc.

6:52 PM · May 11, 2018

@dandrezner @bariweiss And that's just my stuff. Every one of us has such a catalog. How are you saying none of this is of any interest. You can see that from our engagement on even on technical geeky topics. This isn't about SJWs gone mad.

I think you may have jumped the gun. Do reconsider.

6:55 PM · May 11, 2018

@dandrezner @bariweiss How did it go? Honestly I would have thought this research would happen before forming such a strong conclusion.

11:54 PM · May 11, 2018

@dandrezner @bariweiss [please continue to hold.....]

1:27 AM · May 12, 2018


@GarrgAnton @elonmusk @TRHLofficial @ggreenwald I’d do it. But not sure if Elon is even aware of the whole Kayfabe/GIN/DISC/4QuadrantModel theory where he is being moved from quadrant II (independent thinking) to III (troglodytes) by Quad I (the dupe army) at the behest of quadrant IV (the swamp elite): https://t.co/8s8vRKlcxk

@cvaldary Well, one thing we all need to do Chloe is come up with new cognitive primitives. I introduce a lot of these. But the next stage will be organizing to resist being coerced towards extremes. We certainly can't afford a normalization of extremist politics with such powerful tech.

2:36 AM · Jan 10, 2023

@cvaldary Sure. I have been pretty active in emphasizing the following;

GIN
Kayfabe
Russell Conjugation
DISC
E.G.O.
Preference Falsification
Audience Capture
My Four Quadrant Model
Anthropic Capitalism
IDW

There are a lot. Some as with the above are due to others.
