Made a 2x2 where for once the best quadrant is NOT the top-right. Go high morally, go low intellectually.
Gonna call these alt-2x2s. Lower-right is alt-lower, top-left is alt-top.
Lower left is still the worst though.
The Thiel 2x2 is an example of alt-top. Makes sense he’d land there. Interestingly in my use of the Thiel 2x2 I’ve cast indeterminate optimism as the best quadrant. Still do, even though it’s hard to inhabit. In both these 2x2s, I think top-left is actually evil.
