I made a throwaway comment a few weeks ago about projecting complex moral systems onto the lower-dimensional space of politics, and now I’m obsessed with this idea.
you can't use all infinitely many basis functions/concepts required to fully recapitulate morality, so you truncate. Use a large finite number. The problem is that ideologues truncate after only one or two basis functions. "Is it moral? Well it is consensual."
