Scott Adams has been boring me with his mediocre understanding of economics (despite being an economics major), so I'll talk about something else for now...

A recent whatifalthist video talks about the political triangle, and he's mildly critical of the Political Compass, saying it was created by Libertarians to tilt towards a libertarian agenda. I still find it useful.

The triangle might be even more useful yet. I'll have to see if there is a test online I can take.

The part that overlaps with Scott's recent take on politics is that femininity is more represented by one of the US political parties, and masculinity by the other. Rudyard goes on with an observation that trying to apply the operating system of a nuclear family (communism) to the nation as a whole is always doomed to fail.

We've been culturally feminized to choose feels over reals.
