This is a common pattern in idea spaces btw. One side is what’s known as “high paradigm” (HP) and the other is “low paradigm” (LP). - STEM is HP, liberal arts is LP - McKinsey/HBS “positioning school” management theory is HP, “people school” is LP

You’ll note that red memeplexes tend to have a “scientific” structure where deep entailments follow from a few fundamental laws that are like a caricature of physics laws: - liberals are evil - there exists a Q and a deep state - a ring of child traffickers runs everything

I see your point, but in memetic space things should be measured in units of “coherence”. The Trump revolution was a function of a singular individual driving high coherence. Urban density in meatspace leads to more diversity in some respects, and more coherence in others.

It’s almost like... urban environments force its denizens into a different zone of the Voice/Exit trade-off frontier. Urban environments have greater carrying capacity for diversity, but at the cost of very authoritarian enforcement of its coherence mechanisms.
