    the phase space of vague stuff like political ideology would have an arbitrary large number of parameters, not whatever 2 you see in memes.

    Weird to hear this from the person who moments ago was arguing that there’s no problem projecting this concept on an even smaller number of dimensions.

      not sure what you’re reading.

      I’ve been saying that it’s a vague oversimplification. and it’s useless when comparing certain ideologies.

      you can’t put categorically complex things in a line, if you do. if you do, like any dimensionality reduction. you will lose a lot of information in the process
