I call myself liberalist and not social liberal or classical liberal for that reason

2018-07-18 05:32:24 UTC  

And another problem with labels is that you can find yourself subconsciously thinking what would my label do

2018-07-18 05:32:43 UTC  

ok, 30% whatever precent you find appropriate. You shouldn't ever agree 100% with someone.

2018-07-18 05:32:59 UTC  

But a public figure is always a pretty clear goalpost.

2018-07-18 05:33:12 UTC  

And I think it's implicitly where people put themselves when playing hte label game.

2018-07-18 05:33:14 UTC  

I'd say I agree about 88% on political issues with sargon

2018-07-18 05:33:21 UTC  

Substituting labels with names.

2018-07-18 05:33:58 UTC  

Sargon is quite eloquent

2018-07-18 05:37:47 UTC  

sargon is quite whiny too

2018-07-18 05:39:44 UTC  

The problem for me i guess specifically is that I don't totally line up all that well

2018-07-18 05:39:51 UTC  

I have the same issue.

2018-07-18 05:40:17 UTC  

If I play the "I think like game" the list is probably 15 people long. And it changes which 15 people that is.

2018-07-18 05:40:23 UTC  

If I have to say that I support someone it is better that i mention multiple people to show that I am somewhere in between these people

2018-07-18 05:40:51 UTC  

But would you have a well defined label?

2018-07-18 05:41:04 UTC  

I wouldn't say well defined

2018-07-18 05:41:09 UTC  

I'm guessing that if you don't have a clean couple people you likely don't have a clean label either.

2018-07-18 05:41:13 UTC  

other than centrist maybe

2018-07-18 05:41:14 UTC  

I don't.

2018-07-18 05:41:17 UTC  

or independent

2018-07-18 05:41:53 UTC  

Personally, I can't even claim "centrist" on some things. Not only do I not know where the center is, but I can be very extreme.

Like Free Speech.

2018-07-18 05:42:34 UTC  

free speech isn't a left/right issue

2018-07-18 05:42:37 UTC  

That's pretty close to what I have.

2018-07-18 05:43:15 UTC  

the far left and far right both oppose free speech, so free speech extremism is a pretty centrist position

2018-07-18 05:43:19 UTC  

It's been a long time since i did 8 values

2018-07-18 05:43:22 UTC  

Actually, now I think about it, probably not. I haven't taken 8 values in a while.

2018-07-18 05:43:52 UTC  

i did it like last week

2018-07-18 05:44:00 UTC  

But i think being very staunchly pro-free speech will be something that most of the people here agree on.

2018-07-18 05:44:11 UTC  

My saying is that it's not a line, it's not a plane and it's not a cube.

It's so high-dimensional you're better off not trying to visualize it at all. And distance and space is really weird in such high dimension too.

2018-07-18 05:44:39 UTC  

Yeah, that's probably the key binding value in this community and the couple other communities I think relate.

2018-07-18 05:46:15 UTC  

Well technically I guess the way this might work is that you look at many different values like in 8 values

2018-07-18 05:47:18 UTC  

And the values you feel more strongly for you might not need a label but if you lean that way greatly it surely kind of shows what you hold in high regard

2018-07-18 05:51:54 UTC  

That would make sense.

2018-07-18 05:52:25 UTC  
2018-07-18 05:52:49 UTC  

I know I should be disturbed, but that bit is rather common in Indian news lol

2018-07-18 05:52:59 UTC  

It's just better to say that you are for certain values and beliefs unless you are close enough to something to be able to distinguish that you are something minus a couple of issues

2018-07-18 05:53:16 UTC  

Here is what i got.

2018-07-18 05:53:20 UTC  

Just did it

2018-07-18 05:53:24 UTC  

(8 values)

2018-07-18 05:53:36 UTC  

this test had a lot more axis but felt a lot less accurate than 8v
