Will there be 3 dimensions?

2019-09-20 20:05:13 UTC  

yes

2019-09-20 20:05:17 UTC  

i was right

2019-09-20 20:05:38 UTC  

Nice what's AA?

2019-09-20 20:05:45 UTC  

im just bored waiting for the lasers to cool down

2019-09-20 20:06:05 UTC  

honestly its not fully formed yet so i couldn't run it properly

2019-09-20 20:06:27 UTC  

Won’t be long until we require a 4 dimensional political map

2019-09-20 20:07:05 UTC  

4 dimensions don't really work in mathmatics

2019-09-20 20:07:09 UTC  

mathematics

2019-09-20 20:07:19 UTC  

but that's a different issue

2019-09-20 20:07:28 UTC  

How would three dimensional work anyway?

2019-09-20 20:07:33 UTC  

What’s the third axis?

2019-09-20 20:07:46 UTC  

its a morality access

2019-09-20 20:07:52 UTC  

z

2019-09-20 20:07:59 UTC  

sort of moral vs nihilism

2019-09-20 20:08:04 UTC  

Ah ok

2019-09-20 20:08:10 UTC  

moralism vs nihilism

2019-09-20 20:08:24 UTC  

what i found was that stalin and hitler are very close based on the model

2019-09-20 20:08:35 UTC  

but mao was further away from both

2019-09-20 20:08:40 UTC  

Nihilism or moralism?

2019-09-20 20:08:49 UTC  

Nihilism

2019-09-20 20:08:59 UTC  

both were extremely nihilistic

2019-09-20 20:09:15 UTC  

however mao believed he was being moral

2019-09-20 20:09:20 UTC  

unlike hitler or stalin

2019-09-20 20:09:28 UTC  

they both believed they were being efficient

2019-09-20 20:09:56 UTC  

i still need to run the program a few times with a few famous people

2019-09-20 20:10:01 UTC  

I already know I’m much more nihilistic

2019-09-20 20:10:03 UTC  

and see if it tracks well enough

2019-09-20 20:10:08 UTC  

most people are

2019-09-20 20:10:33 UTC  

I think it’s my atheism tbh

2019-09-20 20:10:37 UTC  

but it helps explain why a term like the alt right might exist... and be conflated with evangelicalism

like if you saw it from an outside angle or the leftward perspective, both groups would look to be the same distance from you, and aligned

2019-09-20 20:11:40 UTC  

honestly putin is a genius and i respect him

2019-09-20 20:12:19 UTC  

i mean why is everyone so afraid of a third tier power, that has less military than Israel and less will to fight than Albania.

2019-09-20 20:12:34 UTC  

its all sock puppetry but so many fall for it, because he acts like a strong man

2019-09-20 20:13:00 UTC  

disinformation is the game of the KGB. and as they say in Moscow, once KGB always KGB

2019-09-20 20:14:29 UTC  

why not an n-dimensional political axis?

2019-09-20 20:14:36 UTC  

if you're looking to model it accurately

2019-09-20 20:21:23 UTC  

Area 51 alien: “Wake the fuck up samurai..... we got a planet to burn.”

Or we could understand that the left-right axis is a holdover from the French revolution, and only models politics accurately when you're dealing with a singular issue, or two massive tribal groups.

For a while the American right was the evangelical conservative movement, and the left was simply anyone who opposed them - which included everything from libertarians and technocrats to black radicals and communists. "Left" was such an incredibly broad term, and it only made sense when the Christian conservative movement was a cohesive force that could effectively dominate one end of the left-right axis by themselves.
