Nice. I missed most of these with my lame 2x2, but remember thinking that "wanting to want / not actually wanting" was an under-explored idea

Been thinking about a 2x2 lately, not quite sure how to label or think about it
Examples (W/WtW):
Ex1 (Y/Y): US dollars in the US
Ex2 (Y/N): US dollars in e.g. Europe
Ex3: (N/N): US dollars in e.g. Europe if SWIFT further weaponized & a global replacement for USD was available

"Where there is a will, there is a way
But, Oh, Heavens! Where is the way to get a Will?
Instinct replies" In thyself".
Yes, in myself, in myself, in myself
I Will that I develop a powerful will.
I have willed it.
I have willed that what I will, I will achieve."
- Bharatiyaar
