The Ultimate Question is on the upper right. The stub/placeholder is “how to continue the game?”
Whoever asks it well inherits the Searing Twenties.

take the vertical z axis out and shoot for the origin in x,y. It's not that any quadrant is by itself so bad, but too much of any will kill you

disagree; to confine ourselves to any intellectual framework in 2D is to live in flatland. All such frameworks are a boiled down view, the map is not the territory. Look for Z!

you've lost me. I see it the opposite. The 2 axes (life/death, stability/destruction) is literally a matrix. Labels presented within it. If I control the 4-square, I can lay a double dichotomy either/or trap that no one can escape, unless they question the premises (the 4 square)
