What are the axes referring to? Or one have to be well versed on the position of people and infer the axes?
Y-axis is humanism versus post-humanism. X-axis is rhizomatic versus arborescent (two terms from Deleuze & Guattari denoting dynamic and connective thought on the one hand, against rigid and structural thought on the other). It's meant mostly as a joke, of course.

Ginger is the dynamic and connective, while tree is rigid and structural?
-
Yes! Imagine making a chart of the ideas and thought-process of these thinkers: the ones on the right would be more systematic and focused on a handful of concepts (like a tree connected to its trunk). Whereas those on the left work in a way better mapped by the twist of roots.

I see, initially both roots of a tree and that is the ginger was not so intuitive to divide. But I kind of see it now. Maybe in plant, I find fungi is the most opposite of rigid, and free(er).
