If one axis is economic, then I have to say that the test is mostly meaningless to me. I'm into certain ethics and certain wisdom. Should humanity continue to destroy what remains of Earth's ecosystems? Should humanity have weapons deployed that can kill millions of people in short order, and would probably destroy society? Should there be an effective international justice system, or should international injustice prevail via the barbarity of economic weapons and explosives? Do animals have the right to not have their bodies and lives exploited? Should the wealthiest nation-state ever have people living on the street? Should the wealthiest nation ever have people going without proper medical care, or go bankrupt due to medical care? Should we invest in preventing pandemics, even if it's a negative return on investment (the Covid-19 pandemic could've been prevented)? Should there be billionaires? Here's an easy one to answer: Should someone that tried to steal an election be eligible for election? Should the State have the legal right to kill humans (death penalty, economic warfare, warfare, policing)? Should lethal weapons be replaced with less-than-lethal weapons? Should lethal weapons be illegal to manufacture? Should pharmaceutical businesses be held responsible for their unethical roles in illicit use of legal drugs? Should people be working 40 or more hours per week? Should tax revenues be used for war and the threat of war? Should women be more or less forced to give birth? Should humanity continue being in competition for resources and wealth or should humanity be in cooperation by trying to create well-being for all, especially with regard to what remains of Earth's ecosystems?
