    The video really throws the baby out with the bath water saying all abstract models are bad. The Sapply model addresses the original’s flaws well enough while still being readable.

        Yeah, the major difference is it has a dedicated social axis (progressive-conservative) that removes the ambiguity of the Left-Right axis. On the original people would associate social stances with economic ones.

        There’s ones like 8 values that have more dimensions but they suffer in readability (IMO).

          However, economy is a social construct, so isn’t it completely OK to associate social stances with economic ones? If you believe that all people are equal and then say billionaires be billionaires, this is a contradiction.
