file under "why do I do these things?" I like this rotated 2x2 format where the quadrants are easy to label but the axes have no natural interpretation... 5 levels, 4 vectors = 20 diagnoses of stalling problems

Kinda bugging me that I can't think of proper axis labels. I could probably come up with very technical things like angle of attack etc but that feels overwrought. cc

When answering your poll, I interpreted thrust as motivation. My thought process: w/ a plane on a runway, you can't generate lift without thrust. Thrust is motivation leading to effort; lift is the conversion of effort into progress (efficiency). Why do you say lift = motivation?

Thrust needs an engine which rotates and maps naturally to flywheels, momentum etc. Lift = aspirational heights. You won’t rise if don’t want to level up
