*replace "political spectrum" with "political orbital compass"

I'm thinking of the compass needle shrinking and growing, resulting in a habitable zone and everything that's beyond would be an extreme. Similar to planetary orbits.

True! But would you agree that there are extremes no matter the number of dimensions?
February 1, 2025 at 7:23 AM
Could you elaborate, please?

opportunism could be reduced by teaching about the Golden Rule and tackling emotional/physical poverty

the "arsonists" mode, could be switched off by restoring trust in humanity

figurative blindness could be treated by teaching how to think reasonably critical

sadism needs early intervention

opportunism seems to be built-in to most of us

"arsonism" usually has a reason: e.g. bad experience with others

figurative blindness can happen to all of us, because our minds are limited and fooled easily

sadism is rare, thankfully

so don't be foolish to think extremists are all dumb!

The thing is, there are smart people on the whole political spectrum. I believe those on the extremes are opportunists (short-term personal gains), "arsonists" (want to see the world burn), figuratively blind (lack key knowledge or were brainwashed) or sadists (take pleasure in suffering of others).

An analogy: take milk, put zero or more sugar in, result: spectrum of sweetened milk.
milk: base-female
sugar: added male-ness
result: spectrum of biological sex: females, males, females with sperm, males without sperm, ...

The magic is that a multitude (spectrum) exists, even though it wasn't predominantly selected for (binary), simply because multitudes make an organism more anti-fragile to future changes in inner and/or outer conditions. Everything that is too rigid or flexible dies (eventually).

Everything that is possible within the rules of gene splitting and recombining does exist or is likely to exist: X, XX, Xy, XXy, XXX, ...
It so happens that even the X chromosome can carry the sex determining genes (e.g. SRY), so even XX can have male-ness.
Yet y can lack those.

So we are base-female with added and/or replaced female-ness and/or male-ness. Most male-ness, that successfully reproduced, is sufficiently healthy sperm and a canal to ejaculate those, the rest of the male-ness was mostly selected via sexual selection often involving brains.
