"End of the left and right? And if the new divide of our political lives is that of the Greeks and the Romans?" It's an interesting new idea... Instead of dividing society by left and right, we should by the theoretical vs the practical...https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/1036384767904768000 …
So, the possible false assumption is that there are romans scattered amongst the left and right and that greeks are the same. When in reality, greek skews heavily left and romans heavily right.

Oh i see so you mean the divide wont change because left and right is already more or less greek roman. There is domain dependence though. You only focus on money. E.g. historically the american right is extremely greek when it comes to sexuality.

"Greek when it comes to sexuality" means roman ;-) Only the religious part of the right in the U.S. are rigid when it comes to their sexual thinking. What about artisans? Not really money makers right? Carpenters, plumbers, day laborers paying taxes are roman.
